Following a an Initial Product Recall and a reissue, the Famicom's popularity soared, becoming the best-selling game console in Japan by the end of 1984.
Nintendo launched the system with only first-party games, but after being approached by Namco and Hudson Soft in 1984, agreed to produce third-party games for a 30% fee for console licensing and production costs. This rate continued in the industry for consoles and digital storefronts through the 21st Century.
