Numerous peripheral devices such as the Zapper were released for the system. It was the precursor to the Super Famicom (similarly renamed the Super Nintendo Entertainment System elsewhere).

A redesigned version was released throughout 1993, and this version itself had at least three different specs; they were marketed under the same name as the originals, but are differentiated by their model numbers. Japan received the HVC-101, commonly known as the "AV Famicom"; North America received the NES-101 (as two different specs with the same model number), commonly known as the "Top Loader NES". Strangely, both models are generally more expensive than their originals.
