‘Ravi and Navi’: First New Famicom Disk System Game Since 1992
‘Ravi and Navi’ has been unveiled as the first new title for the Famicom Disk System (FDS) since 1992. This release breathes new life into Nintendo’s classic console peripheral, which was originally launched in 1986.
The FDS, an attachment for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), utilised proprietary floppy disks for game storage, offering expanded memory and the ability to save game progress—features that were groundbreaking at the time. However, with the advent of more advanced gaming technologies, production of FDS games ceased in the early ’90s.
‘Ravi and Navi’ is set to be released on vibrant orange 3D-printed disks, a modern twist that pays homage to the original FDS media. This innovative approach not only captures the nostalgia of the era but also showcases the dedication of the retro gaming community to preserving and revitalising classic gaming experiences.
The game’s development and impending release highlight a growing trend among enthusiasts to create new content for vintage gaming systems. This movement not only honours the legacy of classic consoles but also introduces these timeless experiences to new generations of gamers.
As ‘Ravi and Navi’ prepares to make its debut, it stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of retro gaming and the passion of its community. This release is poised to inspire further interest and development in classic gaming platforms, ensuring that the legacy of consoles like the Famicom Disk System continues to thrive.
