==Games== {{main|List of Famicom Disk System games}} [[File:Famicom Zelda Disk.png|thumb|A ''[[The Legend of Zelda (1986 video game)|Zelda no Densetsu]]'' (''Legend of Zelda'') Disk Card]] [[File:FSC-TDRE disk 20060830.jpg|right|thumb| A blue ''[[3D Hot Rally]]'' Disk Card with shutter]] There are about 194 games in the Famicom Disk System's library. Some are FDS exclusives, some are Disk Writer exclusives, and many were re-released years later on the cartridge format such as ''The Legend of Zelda'' for NES in 1987, and for Famicom in 1994. The most notable FDS originals include ''The Legend of Zelda'', ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', ''[[Kid Icarus]]'', ''[[Metroid (video game)|Metroid]]'', and ''Akumajō Dracula'' (''[[Castlevania (1986 video game)|Castlevania]]''). [[Square (video game company)|Square]] had a branch called [[Disk Original Group]], a software label that published Disk System games from Japanese PC software companies. The venture was largely a failure and almost pushed a pre-''[[Final Fantasy (video game)|Final Fantasy]]'' Square into bankruptcy. ''Final Fantasy'' was to be released for the FDS, but a disagreement over Nintendo's copyright policies caused Square to change its position and release the game as a cartridge.<ref name="NLife"/> Nintendo released a disk version of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in addition to the cartridge version. The Western-market ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' originated from a disk-only game called ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]''.<ref name="Revisiting the FDS"/> Nintendo utilized the cheaper and more dynamic disk medium for a Disk Writer exclusive, as an early [[advergame]]. ''Kaettekita Mario Bros.'' (lit. The Return of Mario Bros.) is a remastered version of ''[[Mario Bros.]]'' with enhanced jump controls and high score saving, plus a new slot machine minigame co-branded for the Nagatanien food company.<ref name="Obscure Mario Bros."/> The final FDS game release was ''Janken Disk Jō'' in December 1992, a [[rock paper scissors]]-themed [[sokoban]] game featuring the Disk System mascot, Disk-kun.
