The game was later re-released in [[Japan]] on the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]] years later. It was one of the first games to be released on the console. The game is a version of the Japanese video game known outside of the country as '''connect-five'''. The cartridge's color is black. A successor to the game, titled ''Super Gomoku Narabe Renju'', was released on the [[Super Famicom]]. It, alongside ''[[Mahjong (1983 video game)|Mahjong]],'' was also released in the Japanese version of ''[[Animal Crossing]]'', called ''[[Animal Forest DS|Animal Forest +]]'', as a collectible NES/Famicom game (in the overseas version, this was replaced with either ''[[Soccer (1985 video game)|Soccer]]'' or ''[[Excitebike]]''). Other than the ports as mentioned earlier of the 1983 version for the Japanese version of ''Animal Crossing'' and Virtual Console, it has not been released again or made a second game of since. == Gameplay == Before starting the game, the player can choose between three difficulty levels, ranging from easy to medium to hard. Next, you can choose if you wish to play with a computer player or another person. Each player has an assigned color: either black or white. During each turn, the player will place a chip down on the grid board. The first player to create a row of 5 chips of one color wins. == Other websites == * [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/vc/vc_go/ Virtual Console page] on Nintendo's official website (Japanese). * ''[http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/578218-gomoku-narabe-renju Gomoku Narabe Renju]'' at GameFAQs [[Category:Famicom Disk
