In Japan (where it was first launched in 1983), it was released as the '''Family Computer''' <span style="font-weight: normal">(ファミリーコンピュータ ''Famirī Konpyūta'', commonly shortened as either the '''Famicom''' <span style="font-weight: normal">(ファミコン ''Famikon''</span>, or abbreviated to '''FC'''. In South Korea, it was known as the '''Hyundai Comboy''' (현대 컴보이 ''Hyeondae Keomboi'') and was distributed by SK Hynix which then was known as Hyundai Electronics. </span>
==NES vs Famicom==
*The Famicom featured a top-loading cartridge slot, a 15-pin expansion port located on the unit’s front panel for accessories (as the controllers were hard-wired to the back of the console) and a red and white color scheme. The NES featured a front-loading cartridge slot and a more subdued gray, black and red color scheme. An expansion port was found on the bottom of the unit and the cartridge connector pinout was changed.
*The original Famicom and the re-released AV Family Computer both utilized a 60-pin cartridge design, which resulted in smaller cartridges than the NES, which utilized a 72-pin design.
 
===Peripherals===
A number of peripheral devices and software packages were released for the Famicom. Few of these devices were ever released outside of Japan.
==Hardware==
The Famicom used the serial code HVC (Home Video Computer) for its hardware, while the NES simply used serial code NES.
