See more at FamicomDojo.TV: http://famicomdojo.tv/season1/famicom-and-disk-system In our first episode, we introduce the namesake of the show, and Nintendo's first independent effort at a home video console that would soon become a household name: the Famicom! Wait, "Famicom"? You may know it as the Nintendo Entertainment System (or "NES" for short), but our little gray toaster started life overseas as a mean red-and-cream machine that would take Japanese youth by storm. What's more, there were fantastic accessories never released outside of Japan, such as the Famicom Disk System attachment -- although one look at your trusty NES proves that Nintendo intended otherwise! Famicom Dojo is produced by That's Orange, LLC.
