Model no.:


A Tsuushin Cartridge (Japanese: 通信カートリッジ), translated as Communication Cartridge is a type of Nintendo storage medium. It is inserted into the Famicom Network System; supporting firmware for Internet supported Nintendo software.

Most Tsuushin Cartridges were not games (with Nintendo focusing on network and communications ambitions) and were intended for economic or intelligence purposes; such as for the stock market, game review and preference data, horse racing/motorboat race, other economical purposes. However, the third-party Tsuushin Cartridge by Konami called Tsuushin Shogi Club may have been an exception for playing Shogi online.
