Other bootlegs would have variants on the Nintendo name such as the 16 disk bootleg Lot I recently received from 'ecnorrington2012' all bearing the name NIN'F'ENDO ( 5 of which didn't work stay tuned soon to see which in a coming article ). Other brands such as Tiger, Mag Disk, and Mitsuya Co would make disks with small slots or holes cut out so they would not be rejected. Disks not bearing this would be rejected by the drive but. To secure it against piracy Nintendo had the Disks made with the Nintendo name imprinted on the bottom front and back of the Disks, the Disk Drive had a special plate in it so that when the disk was fed in it needed to have the 'I' and 'N' grooved deeper so it would match the internal plate. The 3 inch 'Quick Disk' format that Mitsumi company created for Nintendo was a great product with 64k available. ДЄs you saw in the second video I was running a bootleg copy of Metroid this was another killing blow to the Disk System. Take a Minute and check out the videos below to see the dream become the reality. And 23 years later I finally get my wish !!!!!! sorry its just that I don't remember where I saw and briefly read about the unit as a young grade schooler it was probably Nintendo Fan Club magazine or its predecessor Nintendo Power but no matter which ever it was since the day I first saw the FDS I wanted to play one to see one to experience one to own one. Many Nintendo fans such as myself don't see the failure, except in the fact that it failed to come to America WHERE I COULD NAG MY DAD TO BY ME ONE !!!! Whew. To Nintendo selling 4.4 Million units at 100 dollars a pop was a failure hmmm some failure eh ? Many of the best games were released on cartridge as well as disk so many units fell out of favor in the home. Super Mario Bros had originally meant to be released only on Disk was now available in both formats. Nintendo took back its 'promise' to release games strictly on Disk. And a further kick in the crotch was that store owners were starting to complain about the Disk Kiosk machines taking up too much store space.Д«y the time 1990 rolled around 4.4 Million Disk Systems had been sold, Impressed ? Well don't be this was far less than Nintendo had hoped just remember that earlier I mentioned that the first 2 Million had already sold in 1986.

Nintendo not only decided which games would be allowed to be released on the Disk System but the contracts also stated that they retained 'half ownership' to the copy writes to ALL FDS games.WTF ?!?!?!? Listen we as consumers may love nintendo but they TOTALLY invented ways to screw publishers from day one of the Famicom in fact some companiesДЄll the Kool kids stack their Famicom, I do!Д«y the end of 1986 Semiconductor technology improved and the prices dropped so now the Disks actually had LESS capacity then carts and the prices where almost comparable and you didn't need that NEW contract that gave Nintendo even more profit and control over you ( shaking my head). But Nintendo made out entirely it demanded new contracts be signed if a company wished to make disk games these contracts held 'New' pushy restrictions which Nintendo had already become known for. Putting titles on the New disk media alone would alienate some of the consumers and the lower prices of the disk games meant lower return profits for them.

But the FDS did meet with some who where very unhappy mainly the Licensees/Game Companies they now had to decide wether to release games on the FDS or cart or both.
