Release and collector context

Source-linked facts

Round-button Famicom is a documented revision of the Family Computer hardware family. The source-linked record places this exact physical configuration in Japan in 1984 (the exact day and month are not documented). It remains a separate collector item because its model, color, regional presentation, or bundled configuration differs from the parent hardware record.

Research status: Structured source record

Release context

The documented release is 1984 (the exact day and month are not documented) for Japan on Family Computer. Date precision is preserved exactly: the archive does not invent a day when the source records only a month or year.

Regional differences

This record is scoped to Japan. The linked structured source does not document a separate regional title or package difference, so PLAYBACK does not infer one.

Physical packaging

The physical format is documented as Revision. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.

Editions and revisions

This record represents a revision within the Family Computer family, not a separate console generation.
