In 2023, a webpage on Nintendo of Japan's website was created to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Family Computer. One of the subpages is a list of nearly every game published by Nintendo for the system, including those released exclusively for the Disk System peripheral. The only other known official list of Nintendo-published Famicom games available is the Chronicle in the Japanese version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
However, the Famicom 40th Anniversary subpage omits several games that were included in Brawl's Chronicle. These include:
•Popeye, as well as its spin-off titled Popeye no Eigo Asobi, likely due to licensing issues with King Features.
•Spartan X (released as Kung Fu outside of Japan), likely due to the game being a license, as it is based on the movie Wheels on Meals.
•Miho Nakayama's Tokimeki High School, likely due to the game heavily featuring real-life Japanese idol, Miho Nakayama.
•Ginga no Sannin, a port of the home computer game The Earth Fighter Rayieza by Enix. It is not known why this game was excluded from the list.
•All re-releases of standard Famicom games for the Disk System (such as Super Mario Bros., Tennis, and Mahjong). The Famicom cartridge re-release of The Legend of Zelda is also omitted.
In addition to these omissions, while the Chronicle lists Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, the Famicom 40th Anniversary subpage instead lists the original Gold Version released exclusively in Japan, which did not include Mike Tyson.

Brawl's Chronicle list was chosen as a comparison to the Famicom 40th Anniversary subpage in question as it is the only other known official list of Nintendo-published Famicom games, thus we can compare the lists to see what games are missing between them.
