Now that we're back online I would like to announce we have a new affiliate, @gamingalexandria.bsky.social! GA is a community of game preservationists, the website features preserved data and high resolution scans. If you are interested in game preservation we highly suggest checking them out.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest project: preserve.games, a browsable catalog of organizations, museums, projects and communities dedicated to video game preservation! If you've ever wondered how to get involved or where you can learn more, this is the site for you!

I have finished adding every LJN published NES game to @famiwiki.net which if you didn't know there were 26 games. Many of these were North American exclusive but some were released elsewhere including two getting Japanese Famicom releases. So here's all the NES box artworks. famiwiki.net/wiki/LJN

Huge thanks to the @famiwiki.net team for telling us all about their work in preserving Famicom history for western audiences. Read the full interview when Beyond the NES goes live on Kickstarter next Tuesday! www.kickstarter.com/projects/syn...

I find it incredibly odd that this is how many people are finding out about the existence of the Famicom Box. As a sidenote, this is basically the only notable product released in Japan to use the Nintendo Entertainment System branding, but it's still called a Famicom for some reason.

Sorry for the wait, but I went ahead and scanned this label! I also went ahead and mirrored this scan on both FamiWiki and the Lost Media Wiki. I also plan on uploading this to the Internet Archive, though as of the time of writing I am having issues uploading there.

We have reached 2,000 main space pages on FamiWiki! This was possible thanks to the active contributors to FamiWiki who've also expanded many of these pages.

Prior to 2023, famiwiki.net was a genealogy resource website which offered a free family tree builder. This lasted roughly from 2010 to 2016 as the domain expired. 7 years later, it would be picked up by us for our Famicom wiki website.

This genuinely might be the most documentation of the NES Color a Dinosaur on the internet. Something that nobody asked for but we at @famiwiki.net delivered... I guess. famiwiki.net/wiki/Color_a...

3 years of a website existing deserves a cake, right?

Ok it looks like I have to make it abundantly clear in regards to FamiWiki and its affiliation with other wiki projects. No, @nookipedia.com is NOT affiliated with @famiwiki.net. FamiWiki is hosted by The OpenWiki Project but outside of that we are very much our own independent wiki site.

Regarding AI on FamiWiki famiwiki.net/wiki/FamiWik...

Over 3 years ago the wiki site I co-founded @famiwiki.net went online for the very first time and was the beginning of contributing to the ultimate English resource for anything Famicom on the internet. Even in its current state FamiWiki represents the Famicom in a greater context than other sites.

A feedback form for FamiWiki has been created for users to fill out. It will be open for the entire month of February 2026. forms.gle/o8zeFTpmDoqV...

Since we're approaching the end of 2025 I thought I would lay out plans for next year for FamiWiki, specifically some goals I want to achieve with the site. So here are 10 things I want to see improved to some degree.🧵

Users who search famiwiki.com will now be automatically redirected to famiwiki.net, rather than encountering an error page. We hope this provides a smoother experience for anyone who uses the .com address instead of .net.

Our Main Page has been updated to include all the wiki sites under The OpenWiki Project. We greatly appreciate being apart of this project otherwise we wouldn't exist today.

"Rarest" Nintendo Famicom Game Found In US Retro Store For $12.

It happened, I am now the proud owner of the RAREST FAMICOM CARTRIDGE* (that was commercially released in Japan) I cannot put into words how happy I am, especially with the added bonus of that price tag no less!

FamiWiki has contributed to Wplace! You can find our logo in the Phoenix, Arizona area.

I've reached the halfway mark in my Famicom cartridge collecting journey. I made a baseball stack to celebrate because of course I needed multiple copies of this game.

Notice anything different? FamiWiki has updated the background of the site to feature a repeating pulseline image. A dark mode version has also been created. famiwiki.net

No ad blocker is needed to browse our wiki site.

Normally not much of a browser plugins guy, but as someone who occasionally looks up video game things online, this one's been very nice. addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo...

@famiwiki.net is officially two years old! As an anniversary gift of sorts the page for Family Computer was beefed up with more info on its history. This text comes from the WikiBound page for the Nintendo Entertainment System but was removed, however I got permission to move the contents over.

Over the past few months I helped consult on this video providing various materials and notes that greatly enhanced the video. It was a pleasure working on this. Go check it out!

On Friday, January 10, 2025 (00:00 UTC) the Indie Wiki Jam event will begin and run for the next two weeks. You can read more about it here. famiwiki.net/wiki/FamiWik...

Big news: we've received a huge shoutout in the Japanese press! Thanks to AUTOMATION for the mention! automaton-media.com/articles/new...

FamiWiki now has a Did you know? section on the main page! there's not a lot at the moment but I hope it gets filled out with interesting tidbits that then directs you to fleshed out pages about those topics

Links on FamiWiki now properly embed with information from the page. Feel free to share around pages more easily with this.

FamiWiki is doing April Fools this year and I think for our first outing we did a good job
