The console had two hard-wired controllers which could be stored in compartments on the sides of the unit for use with two-player games. The system was modified slightly, and released as the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in [[North America]] and [[Europe]]; changes included larger cartridges, detachable controllers and support for A/V cables. The ''Family Computer'' was later re-released as the [[A/V Family Computer]] with these modifications. ==Addons== * [[Family Computer Disk System]] * [[Family Computer Modem]] ==Gallery== <gallery> Famicom.jpg | Family Computer FamicomBox.jpg | Family Computer Box FamicomController.jpg | Family Computer Controller </gallery> ==Technical Specifications== {{HardwareSpecs | save = Battery Backup | input = 2 Built-In [[Family Computer Controller]]s, [[Family Computer Cartridge]] Input, Power Switch, Reset Switch, Cartridge Eject Lever, Expansion Slot | output = RF Output, Power Output }} ==See also== * [[List of Family Computer video games]] * [[List of Family Computer peripherals]] {{Nintendo Hardware}} {{Third-Generation Consoles}}
