Nintendo Power
Nintendo Power flash cartridges for Super Famicom (SF Memory Cartridge) and Game Boy (GB Memory Cartridge)
DeveloperNintendo
Release date1996
DiscontinuedFebruary 28, 2007[1]

Nintendo Power (Japanese: ニンテンドウパワー, Hepburn: Nintendō Pawā) was a video game distribution service for Super Famicom or Game Boy operated by Nintendo that ran exclusively in Japan from late 1996 until February 2007. The service allowed users to download Super Famicom or Game Boy titles onto a special flash memory cartridge for a lower price than that of a pre-written ROM cartridge.

At its 1996 launch, the service initially offered only Super Famicom titles.[2] Game Boy titles began being offered on March 1, 2000.[3] The service was ultimately discontinued on February 28, 2007.[1]

History

Background

During the market lifespan of the Famicom, Nintendo developed the Disk System, a floppy disk drive peripheral with expanded RAM which allowed players to use re-writable disk media called "disk cards" at Disk Writer kiosks. The system was relatively popular but suffered from issues of limited capacity. However, Nintendo did see a market for an economical re-writable medium due to the popularity of the Disk System.

Nintendo's first dynamic flash storage subsystem for the Super Famicom is the Satellaview, a peripheral released in 1995 that facilitated the delivery of a set of unique Super Famicom games via the St.GIGA satellite network.

Release

The Super Famicom version of Nintendo Power was released in late 1996.[2]

The Game Boy Nintendo Power was originally planned to launch on November 1, 1999;[4] however, due to the 1999 Jiji earthquake disrupting production in Taiwan, it was delayed[5] until March 1, 2000.[3]

Nintendo Power was discontinued in February 2007, with kiosks being removed from stores.[1][6]

Usage

The flash writer at a Nintendo Power kiosk in a convenience store
The flash writer at a Nintendo Power kiosk for adding games to flash cartridges

When this was on the market in the 1990s, the user would first purchase the RAM cartridge, then bring it to a store featuring a Nintendo Power kiosk.[7] The user selects games to be copied to the cartridge and the store provides a printed copy of the manual. Game prices varied,[2] with older games being relatively cheap, and newer games and Nintendo Power exclusives being more expensive.

Technical details

Each cartridge's flash ROM is divided internally into eight blocks. Unless an 8-block game is loaded onto the cartridge, however, one block is reserved for the game selection menu, leaving only seven blocks for games.

In addition, each cartridge has a small amount of SRAM for saved games, which is divided into sixteen blocks. Games are rounded up in capacity; for example, a 10 megabit Super Famicom game needs three flash ROM blocks totaling 12 megabits, and a Game Boy game that needs 100 kilobits of save space would need two SRAM blocks totaling 128 kilobits.

Nintendo Power has no Super Famicom enhancement chips such as the Super FX, so such games are incompatible.

Super Famicom

SF Memory Cassette (SFメモリカセット, SF Memori Kasetto)

  • MSRP – ¥3,980
  • Onboard flash ROM (for game data) – 32 megabits total (4 megabits/block × 8 blocks)
  • Onboard SRAM (for game saves) – 256 kilobits total (16 kilobits/block × 16 blocks)

Game Boy

GB Memory Cartridge (GBメモリカートリッジ, GB Memori Kātorijji)

  • MSRP – ¥2,500
  • Onboard flash ROM for game data, 8 megabits (1 megabit/block × 8 blocks)
  • Onboard SRAM for saved games, 1024 kilobits (64 kilobits/block × 16 blocks)

Reception

When the Nintendo Power for Super Famicom launched, it was perceived by the press as being in part an effort to free up retailer shelf space for more Nintendo 64 products.[2]
