FDS games officially ported to cartridges

[aitsu124]

I've always been interested in these. I seem to keep finding more (for a while I though Zelda was the only one), so I feel I'm missing multiple. What all games got this treatment? So far I've only heard of Zelda, Akumajou Dracula, and Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa.

Here we go again

Zelda 2 saw a port to cart, and some would even say an official port.  It's a contested area of discussion.

I have a port of Metroid, but i think I like the US versions more, which is the opposite for me as a rule.  No surprises there, this is FW after all.

I've seen those threads, based on the art and names on both the box and cartridge I wouldn't say it's official.

There's a list here but it's get plenty of unofficial ports as well.

To clarify, are you talking about FDS games that were also officially released as Famicom cartridges, or as NES and/or Famicom cartridges?

I don't want to open another can of worms but it was not an official Nintendo release, no.  But it's complicated.

Do you mean an unofficial port?

The former, e.g. the aforementioned Zelda (under Zelda 1) and Akumajou Dracula.

Yes, e.g. the aforementioned Zelda (under Zelda 1) and Akumajou Dracula.

"Yes" is not an appropriate answer for an "A or B" question. But alright, you only want Famicom cartridges then, gotcha.

Ugh. Zeda 2 ain't a port, it's the US release. That's the same case for Section Z. It's the US release on a FC cart.

[P]

It's a cart port and a release (I mean they all have to go through the same kind of recoding to convert it), but if he only wants official Famicom cart ports, that excludes: Metroid, Zelda II, Kid Icarus, Simon's Quest, Crackout, Bubble Bobble and so on.

This was discussed many times before, and the only games I remember that meets the requirements are Zelda 1, Akumajou Dracula, and Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa.
Only Akumajou Dracula didn't use the FDS sound channel so they didn't need to recode its sound engine for the cart release.

Moero Twinbee is another one as well.
