About Famicom Disk System
Japan-only, the Famicom Disk System (1986) was Nintendo's floppy-disk-based add-on for the Famicom, hosting several games (including the original Legend of Zelda and Metroid) before they were later ported to cartridge internationally. Because it never released outside Japan and its proprietary floppy disks degrade over time, complete, working Famicom Disk System software is a specialized import-collecting niche.
Gamevaro tracks Donkey Kong for Famicom Disk System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Donkey Kong to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This FDS release dates back to 1983.
