The #Famicom Quiz was difficult to the end. It's too bad the questions focused on the same small set of participating publishers.

There's no good reason why the Adventure Island series hasn't been re-released. Would Konami have to pay Takahashi Meijin for his likeness or something?

It gradually rose from 6,000 to 20,000 yen, but now it's in throw-prices-at-the-wall territory.

- Ah, so that's what was cut. 😏 - Nicer image quality. - Why is the volume so low? Had to crank it way up to hear anything. - Missing sound effects: failed swings at resurrection, layered "Deathstalker!!!" when passing the sword at the end. - Sub-only, ugly font.

Civilization VI is basically free: bit.ly/3Lbub4n

Lots of people are reporting the $2.99 codes from retailers redeem for 300 Gold Points (which are worth $3)

Make sure you buy the digital code from Best Buy/GameStop/Humble/Target and not from Nintendo directly

Unfortunately, all we have are theory and assumptions due to the lack of the Disk Writer BIOS and documentation thereof.

Would it be possible to make a cartridge compatible between the Famicom Disk Writer and NES? Possibly, but you'd have to know what memory space the Disk Writer reads from. You'd also need a version of the FDS BIOS on the cartridge that safely removes the disk-specific functionality.

Likewise, inserting a retail NES game into the Disk Writer would at best result in copying a NES ROM to disk, which would almost certainly fail the BIOS' format checks and wouldn't be mapped to the correct memory space.

@PlantedWave5190: "Do these Soft Paks work on any NES system? Also, can the Disk Writer take standard 72-pin retail NES Game Paks?" I'd think not. The cartridges would've had to contain the ROMs for the FDS versions of games, which occupy a shifted area of addressable memory due to the FDS BIOS.

"Do you remember how stores used to write disks? 😂 After clerks inserted yellow NES-type cartridges called Soft Paks in the middle of the Disk Writer and put kids' rewritable disks into the slot on the left-hand side, what would they do? 😂" I've never seen these carts before.
