''Family Computer Network System'' and ''TV-NET'' is a telecommunication service using Family Computer that was deployed for general consumers from 1988 to 1991. This system allows users to access its services by connecting a telephone line to a dial-up modem and plugging in ROM cartridges dedicated to each content. Each company was joined by a new business using Famicom, and the contents offered by these companies varied mainly from stock trading, account inquiries, horse and bicycle race voting, and mail order sales. However, some in-depth information about this service, such as the companies that entered the market, is unclear. Currently, ROM cartridges and peripherals are sometimes offered on auction sites, but only a few have been found.

In 1985, Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi foresaw the future spread of the network society and came up with the idea of a telecommunication service that would allow shopping and stock trading via Famicom. Yamauchi named the service Family Computer Network System and set a goal to realize the service in the fall of 1986. <br>In July 1987, Yamauchi instructed Masayuki Uemura, General Manager of Nintendo R&D2, to develop a service that would provide stock price information and enable stock trading by connecting a telephone line to a modem dedicated to Famicom in cooperation with Nomura Securities.<ref>[https://www.happy-today.org/nintendo/history/history2-06.html 任天堂アーカイブプロジェクト] Retrieved 9 Oct '22</ref> The service employs a system that can be used by inserting a card-type ROM cartridge, which Nomura named Famicom Trade. In November, the service was tested by 600 monitors, and in July 1988 Nintendo distributed prototype modems and cartridges to each household that had been recruited as testers. As a result, the service was well received, and in September, Nintendo mass-produced the modem and began full-scale service.

===Commercial competition===
In January 1988, Daiwa Securities agreed to enter Micro Core's TV-NET and decided in April to develop telecommunication services, followed in May by Yamaichi and then Nikko Securities. From this point on, a commercial conflict between the "Nomura-Nintendo method" and the "Micro Core method" arose over Famicom's communication services. Subsequently, Shin Nihon Securities, Wako Securities, Okasan Securities, and others decided to adopt the Nomura-Nintendo method. Universal Securities, Taiheiyo Securities, and Tokyo Securities decided to adopt the Micro Core method, and various other securities companies entered the Famicom communication service.

<br>On December 7, 1988, Mitsubishi Corporation in cooperation with Daiwa, Yamaichi, Nikko, and Universal, launched the Home Information Network Promotion Council (ホームインフォメーションネットワーク推進協議会) to promote Micro Core-based telecommunication services. In addition to securities companies, city banks, travel agencies, and publishing companies have also decided to enter the market. On October 16, 1989, NTT Data Communications launched its home banking business using Famicom.

In addition, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, a government agency that existed at the time, decided to make NTT's videotex service, Captain System available to Famicom, and Micro Core developed a corresponding modem, TV-NET Rank2, with which the service was launched and modem was released in April 1990. Department stores, mail-order companies, and distance learning companies have entered the Captain System for Famicom.

Although Famicom's telecommunication service has experienced commercial competition since its launch and has offered a variety of content services, it has not really been accepted by many users and has had some shortcomings.

The line connecting to the modem was DDX-TP provided by NTT. However, the condition of the line was unstable, and there was trouble with communication becoming impossible at irregular intervals. Furthermore, if the phone line and the TV were far apart, they were connected by wiring, but in some cases, the user's family members protested that the wiring was in the way and returned the product. Most of the users were only interested in the stock price, and few used other services. In addition, since Famicom was generally positioned as a children's toy, many users were resistant to the idea of adults using toys for stock trading and other activities.

In addition, since Famicom was generally positioned as a children's toy, many users were resistant to the idea of adults using toys for stock trading and other activities.
By 1991, most users were no longer interested in stock prices due to the bursting of the bubble economy in Japan. It was also time for consoles to move to Super Famicom, and demand was beginning to decline. Finally, the number of households with newly installed modems stopped at 130,000.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190619133338/https://trendy.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/special/20081006/1019522/?P=4 日経トレンディネット] Retrieved 9 Oct '22</ref>

Famicom's telecommunication services offered were mainly home banking, home trading, and captain system services. While dedicated cartridges existed for the home banking and trading services, they were able to use the services without the basic cartridges for the captain system. But in some cases, it appears that some companies did offer cartridges. Please note that currently, information on companies that have entered the Famicom telecommunications service is often unclear as to which companies offered what services under what name, and which companies that said they were considering entering the service have actually done so.

Family Computer Network System Modem

Status: Partially found

Date found: 2020

Found by: Ben Boldt, Fiskbit, Forest of Illusion

Family Computer Network System and TV-NET is a telecommunication service using Family Computer that was deployed for general consumers from 1988 to 1991. This system allows users to access its services by connecting a telephone line to a dial-up modem and plugging in ROM cartridges dedicated to each content. Each company was joined by a new business using Famicom, and the contents offered by these companies varied mainly from stock trading, account inquiries, horse and bicycle race voting, and mail order sales. However, some in-depth information about this service, such as the companies that entered the market, is unclear. Currently, ROM cartridges and peripherals are sometimes offered on auction sites, but only a few have been found.

History

Birth of services

In 1985, Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi foresaw the future spread of the network society and came up with the idea of a telecommunication service that would allow shopping and stock trading via Famicom. Yamauchi named the service Family Computer Network System and set a goal to realize the service in the fall of 1986.
In July 1987, Yamauchi instructed Masayuki Uemura, General Manager of Nintendo R&D2, to develop a service that would provide stock price information and enable stock trading by connecting a telephone line to a modem dedicated to Famicom in cooperation with Nomura Securities.[1] The service employs a system that can be used by inserting a card-type ROM cartridge, which Nomura named Famicom Trade. In November, the service was tested by 600 monitors, and in July 1988 Nintendo distributed prototype modems and cartridges to each household that had been recruited as testers. As a result, the service was well received, and in September, Nintendo mass-produced the modem and began full-scale service.
In July 28, 1987, Yamaichi Securities, in cooperation with Bridgestone, launched the telecommunication service for Famicom, Sunline F.[2]
In January 1988, Micro Core, in cooperation with Micro Research Institute, NTT, and Bridgestone, developed TV-NET, a telecommunication service modem for Famicom, which was released at the end of February of the same year.

Commercial competition

In January 1988, Daiwa Securities agreed to enter Micro Core's TV-NET and decided in April to develop telecommunication services, followed in May by Yamaichi and then Nikko Securities. From this point on, a commercial conflict between the "Nomura-Nintendo method" and the "Micro Core method" arose over Famicom's communication services. Subsequently, Shin Nihon Securities, Wako Securities, Okasan Securities, and others decided to adopt the Nomura-Nintendo method. Universal Securities, Taiheiyo Securities, and Tokyo Securities decided to adopt the Micro Core method, and various other securities companies entered the Famicom communication service.
On December 7, 1988, Mitsubishi Corporation in cooperation with Daiwa, Yamaichi, Nikko, and Universal, launched the Home Information Network Promotion Council (ホームインフォメーションネットワーク推進協議会) to promote Micro Core-based telecommunication services. In addition to securities companies, city banks, travel agencies, and publishing companies have also decided to enter the market. On October 16, 1989, NTT Data Communications launched its home banking business using Famicom. In addition, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, a government agency that existed at the time, decided to make NTT's videotex service, Captain System available to Famicom, and Micro Core developed a corresponding modem, TV-NET Rank2, with which the service was launched and modem was released in April 1990. Department stores, mail-order companies, and distance-learning companies have entered the Captain System for Famicom.

Decline in services

Although Famicom's telecommunication service has experienced commercial competition since its launch and has offered a variety of content services, it has not really been accepted by many users and has had some shortcomings. The line connecting to the modem was DDX-TP provided by NTT. However, the condition of the line was unstable, and there was trouble with communication becoming impossible at irregular intervals. Furthermore, if the phone line and the TV were far apart, they were connected by wiring, but in some cases, the user's family members protested that the wiring was in the way and returned the product. Most of the users were only interested in the stock price, and few used other services. In addition, since Famicom was generally positioned as a children's toy, many users were resistant to the idea of adults using toys for stock trading and other activities. By 1991, most users were no longer interested in stock prices due to the bursting of the bubble economy in Japan. It was also time for consoles to move to Super Famicom, and demand was beginning to decline. Finally, the number of households with newly installed modems stopped at 130,000.[3]

ROM dumped

In September 2019, Ben Boldt, a user of the forum site NesDev, obtained a Famicom Network System modem and a JRA-PAT ROM, which he dumped with fellow site user Fiskbit.[4] In addition, Nomura no Famicom Trade and Super Mario Club were also dumped in October-November 2020 and subsequently surfaced at No-Intro. The ROMs were given the file extension FCN, but run is currently impossible because no emulator currently supports the file. In addition, Forest of Illusion obtained the JRA-PAT and Super Mario Club ROMs, dumped them with Hard4Games, and surfaced. The ROMs were NES files, but have not been emulated.[5][6] Fiskbit owns and has dumped most of the currently known Famicom Network System-specific ROMs, but these have not yet surfaced.

Modems, Peripherals

Exclusive modems and ROM cartridges were not sold in stores like video games, but rather modems were ordered by sending an order postcard to the company and cartridges were purchased by applying to the bank.[7] Many of the main modems have been found, but some of their peripherals have not been found to this day.

Famicom Fitness System

Status: Lost
Famicom Fitness System is a peripheral device for the Famicom Network System, which was jointly developed by Bridgestone, Nintendo, Fukuda Denshi, and Fukuoka University in 1988 for health management. An ergometer is connected to a communication modem, and a ROM cartridge called an "Instructor Card" is inserted. After inputting data such as age and weight, individual training data is stored in the cartridge. 12 minutes of pedaling measurement is performed, and the system provides the user with the most effective training menu according to the results. The device was marketed mainly to fitness gyms and medical institutions from January 1989, and was scheduled to be marketed to general households from December 1990, but there is no information that the device was actually sold.

Services

Famicom's telecommunication services offered were mainly home banking, home trading, and captain system services. While dedicated cartridges existed for the home banking and trading services, they were able to use the services without the basic cartridges for the captain system. But in some cases, it appears that some companies did offer cartridges. Please note that currently, information on companies that have entered the Famicom telecommunications service is often unclear as to which companies offered what services under what name, and which companies that said they were considering entering the service have actually done so.

Home Banking

Home banking using Famicom began with the Home-use Terminal Communications Standardization Council (ホームユース端末通信標準化協議会) launched by NTT Data Communications in March 1989.[9] Thirteen city banks and various regional banks that existed at the time participated in this council, and on October 16, Nomura-Nintendo and Micro Core launched their services as Famicom Anser (ファミコンアンサー) and Bank ANSER TV-NET System (銀行ANSER TV-NETシステム)[10], respectively. The following list is limited to only those banks that have entered the market and for which there is clear information that they have launched their services.

EYE-NET PART II

Status: Lost
EYE-NET PART II is a communication service for Famicom of EYE-NET, a PC communication service provided by Fujimic in 1985, but it is not clear whether the service is provided on a cartridge or on the Captain System. The service offered mainly news, lifestyle information, and quizzes.[30][31]


Famicom telecommunication service by Mitsui Group

Status: Lost
In March 1990, the Mitsui Group entered the telecommunication service using Famicom with its then 81 subsidiaries and conducted a monitoring experiment with 200 households.[32][33] The service provided shopping information, event and travel information, and financial product information. However, it is unclear whether this service was provided to Nintendo or Micro Core. In December 1989, Mitsui's subsidiary at the time, Mitsuigin Software Service, in cooperation with Micro Core, developed "R-Net/FC," a host system that can be connected to Famicom, so it is possible that this service also entered the Micro Core side.


HIT-NET

Status: Existence Unconfirmed
HIT-NET is a common telecommunication service concept that can be used for both Nomura-Nintendo and Micro Core systems, as proposed by NTT.[34] Insurance companies, transportation companies, and others had decided to participate in this concept[35], but there is no record of this concept ever being realized.

Availability

Many of the brokerage firms, city banks, and local banks that started communication services using Famicom have since gone bankrupt or merged, making it very difficult to search for the ROM cartridges they provided. Furthermore, the Captain System was terminated on March 31, 2002, so it can be said to be lost forever.

Note

  • Because horse race voting was so popular, JRA-PAT remained in use after the decline of the Famicom Network System and was discontinued on July 31, 2015.
  • Uemura envisioned video games using telecommunication services and made prototypes of five games, including Go, but cancelled them because they would have required a long phone line connection and could have been too expensive.
