I've heard that the Famicon had various add-ons through the expansion port(Modem, Keyboard, even a Knitting machine, or so I've heard). But did any add-on make it to North America? I haven't heard of any.
Now you're playing with power!

Actually, I know of one peripheral. It didn't make it big time though. It wasn't ported from the Famicom, though. http://nesworld.com/nesmodem.htm

Also, I think the "Miracle Piano tuner" thing MAY have plugged in there, but to be honest, I can't even remember if it had a NES version.

I own one, but dont have the cable to connect it. My theory is that yes, it does.

I've always assumed it plugged into the special cart, since it also connects to the SNES, and Genesis. but This site says something else... Quote:The most important port was a special port (that resembled a parallel or PCMCIA port) which accepted a bundled cable, which ran from the unit in to the Controller 1 slot on the NES. This was the interface the "game" got feedback from.

Well, that's interesting, if nothing else. Makes a certain kind of sense, I suppose, since it was used to control games. Where else would you plug a controller?
