So yea Nintendo was way ahead of the game back in the 80s. According to article from Kotaku.com writer Richard Eisenbeis, back in three late 80s Nintendo released an attachment to the NES that allowed gamers to play and save games to a floppy disks. I know some of you are like Floppy disks? What's a Floppy Disk? Well back in the day before CDs, DVDS, USB drives became popular people use to load software and other such things onto computers via 3.5" and 5.25" Floppy Disk Drives. Getting back to the story, since Japan didn't and still doesn't allow game rentals stores that had Nintendo Disk Writer Kiosk became popular. These kiosk allow you to copy a game onto the disk while erasing your original game off the disk. It was all for the cost of about $3.25 in 80s money. Awesome concept to me. I'm adding in a video that explains the process but do yourself a favor and mute the music. It gets old over 10sec.
