Nintendo made modifications to the Famicom, and in 1985 they released the next iteration of the console, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in North America. Much of Nintendo's success in the video game market, including success with the Famicom, must be credited to legendary video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of such iconic games as Donkey Kong, Mario Brothers, and The Legend of Zelda.
After re-issuing system with new motherboards, the Famicom became a hit, selling several million units in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Though technical problems plagued early Famicom units, causing the company to recall thousands of consoles for costly upgrades, Nintendo continued did not lose heart. Uemura's wife suggested the title "Famicom" to represent the idea that the system would be enjoyed by the whole family.
Nintendo called on Masayuki Uemura to design the machine, originally code-named GameCom. Released in Japan in 1983, the Nintendo Family Computer, or Famicom, became Nintendo's first cartridge-based home video game console.
