The NES is a furniture item in every first-generation Animal Crossing game. It can be placed on the surface of tables and other similar furniture that have surfaces for items. The player can interact with this item to bring up a dialog that says, "I want to play my NES, but I don't have any software."

The NES can be obtained from Crazy Redd's Furniture Emporium for  12,000 Bells, Wisp, a treasure hunt, or trees when the player has good luck. It does not have any color for the purpose of fêng shui. This item is lucky, meaning it gives a 777-point Happy Room Academy bonus when placed in the player's house.

No villagers have this item in their home.

Version differences

The Disk System in Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+

In Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+, the NES is modeled after a Famicom Disk System rather than a Nintendo Entertainment System and is named ディスクシステム (Disk System). The Famicom Disk System model is identical to the one used for Clu Clu Land D and Legend of Zelda in Doubutsu no Mori+. Doubutsu no Mori e+ retains the design from Animal Crossing but retains the Disk System name, despite no longer being modeled after a Famicom Disk System.

ROM loading functionality

When the NES item is interacted with, the game scans the Memory Card (Controller Pak in Doubutsu no Mori) for NES/Famicom ROM data. NES/Famicom ROMs, including those not already in the game, can be patched and placed on a Memory Card, where they can be loaded and played by interacting with the item. Interacting with the item with multiple NES/Famicom ROMs on the Memory Card displays unique text that is normally unused: "Should I play my NES software?", followed by a list of games.

The only known official usage of this feature was a Nintendo DREAM giveaway for Doubutsu no Mori in which 30 Nintendo 64 Controller Paks containing ROM data for Ice Climber (which was not introduced as an item until Doubutsu no Mori+). Despite this, this functionality is present in every first-generation Animal Crossing game.
