  Science Fair Projects - Famicom Disk System
The device was connected to the Famicom deck by plugging an included cartridge, known as the RAM adapter, into the system's cartridge port, and then connecting a supplied cable from this cartridge to the disk drive.
The Famicom Disk System was capable of running on six C-cell batteries in lieu of the supplied AC adapter, even though the Famicom itself was not portable.
Because floppy disks were less expensive than Nintendo's proprietary cartridge format, and because of the additional features offered by the Disk System's hardware, many developers produced titles for the system that were sold cheaply at kiosks in retail stores.

 Bambooweb: Nintendo
By the late 1970s, Nintendo had begun to lose market share to electronic game manufacturers such as Bandai, and they responded with the Game and Watch series (small single-screen LCD games) which were created by the late visionary Gunpei Yokoi, as well as a series of arcade games.
Slowing sales of the Game Boy were assisted by the introduction of the Pokémon game, which started a phenomenon of top selling video games, movies, merchandise, and TV shows.
For many years Nintendo of America also had strict censorship regulations on its games, and had a long list of objects, situations, and phrases that were not allowed to appear in licensed games on Nintendo systems.

 Games 4 Nintendo :: Emulation & Technical FAQ
It was a disk drive unit that sat underneath the Famicom system, and connected to it via a RAM cartridge.
The benefits of this system were that the disks were very cheap to sell, they utilized the extra sound hardware in the RAM unit, and that players could save their games on the disks [this was before the era of cheap battery-backed RAM].
The downsides of this system were many: The games were limited in scope and size, loading times were long, piracy of the disks was rampant, and the belt of the disk drive unit wore out all-too-easily.

 The Ultimate Nintendo Entertainment System - American History Information Guide and Reference
Many early games (such as StackUp) released in North America were simply Famicom cartridges attached to an adapter (such as the T89 Cartridge Converter) to allow them to fit inside the NES hardware.
Also in contrast to the Famicom, the controllers included with the NES were identical to each other - the second controller lacked the microphone that was present on the Famicom model, and possessed the same "Start" and "Select" buttons as the primary controller.
Resolution: 256x240 pixels, though NTSC games usually used only 256x224, as the top and bottom 8 scanlines are not visible on most TV sets; for additional video memory bandwidth, it was possible to turn off the screen before the raster reached the very bottom.

 Famicom Music : SoundtrackCentral.com
Just like the NES games themselves had graphics that were impressive for its time, the NES soundtracks broke new ground: for the first time, all videogames had musical scores accompanying the player.
The Legend Of Zelda was the first game to sell the add-on accessory, Famicom Disk System, which allowed programmers to read and write in data, although it did create a problem for the soundtracks - the sound chip of the accessory was not as advanced as the Famicom's was.
Famicom Music was basically a no-brainer for someone like me - a huge Nintendo fan who likes to relive past gaming experiences through their music.

 Nintendo Famicom Disc System Overview
The Famicom Disk System (FDS) was released in 1985 by Nintendo as an add-on to the popular Famicom.
Another advantage of the disk has been the rewritable qualities of the disks which opend new possibilities : games such as The Legend of Zelda (which has been the first FDS game), Metroid and Kid Icarus were first released to the FDS with a save feature.
The Disks of the Famicom Disc System were proprietary 3"x4" 64k/side floppy disks for data storage.

 Famicom Music Vol. 2 : SoundtrackCentral.com
A word of note about the album: the focus is on the Famicom Disk System, an accessory that was released only in Japan where the games were presented on floppy disks instead of cartridges.
This was because disks were cheaper than the much much more costly cartridge format, and gamers in Japan had to pay lots of hard-earned money for even a bad game.
I have not played the other games mentioned on this album, so I cannot tell which songs are missing and which aren't, but the presentation of the album could have been much better.

 GameSpy.com - Article: GameSpy's 30 Most Influential People in Gaming
During the early 80s, Nintendo expanded into the then-nascent home video game market with the release of its Family Computer, or Famicom (released as the Nintendo Entertainment System in the U.S.) While the system did reasonably well for those first several years, it needed a killer game to really sell the new system.
Originally an arcade game, 1985's Super Mario Bros. was different from Miyamoto's prior platform games in that the playfield scrolled rather than confining all of the action to a single screen.
The disk technology allowed the user to write data to the game's media, so Zelda became one of the first console titles to let you save your progress and resume later (Foreign versions had a battery built into the cartridge).

 Famicom Mini Disk System Selection - The Next Level Forum
Yeah, this would be their chance to localize the original Fire Emblem and Fire Emblem Gaiden (since they'll eventually be part of the Famicom Mini lineup), but NoA would be too stupid to take a chance.
Also, the fact that they're releasing the Famicom Tantei games and Shin Onigashima in halves like the original Disk System is stupid, since GBA cartridges are more capable than that.
All of Wave 1 except Star Soldier and the Famicom version of Mappy, which were never localized here to begin with (hence why they're not in the domestic series).

 Flashback: The Nintendo Entertainment System - Flashback NES - History of the NES
Twenty years ago, when the video game industry was still reeling from what has been commonly referred to as "The Video Game Crash of 1983", a small console called the Nintendo Entertainment System made a big splash.
The system was an undeniable success, and the lack of direct competition helped to propel it and the video game market back into the limelight in both the Eastern and Western regions.
Children of the 80's almost universally reference the console fondly, and younger video game players are reliving NES games in re-releases on the GBA, mini-games in Animal Crossing, and eventually emulation on the Nintendo Revolution.
