The Famicom Network Controller (HVC-051) is a 23-button controller for use with the Famicom Network System. It is essentially a standard controller that adds a number pad, and can be used with normal games.

- The Select button has the additional text 前パージ = Previous Page
- The Start button has the additional text 次パージ = Next Page
- The B button has the additional text 目次 = Table of Contents
- The A button has the additional text 実行 = Execute
- The button marked "END" instead has the text 通信終了 = End of Communication
Protocol
The protocol looks like a standard Famicom expansion port controller, returning its result via reads from $4016 D1. After the initial eight reads, the following sixteen reads return the following bits in order:
0-7 - see Standard controller 8 - 0 9 - 1 10 - 2 11 - 3 12 - 4 13 - 5 14 - 6 15 - 7 16 - 8 17 - 9 18 - * 19 - # 20 - . 21 - C 22 - (Always 0) 23 - 通信終了
Like the standard controller, reads after the first 24 read as logic 1.
