FamicomBox Carts
I didn't see anything about these on your site, so I figured I post about them.
The FamicomBox is, of course, the sister of the M82 for the NES. The FamicomBox was essentially an NES in that it had NES controllers and an NES Zapper light gun. The carts, too, are like the NES: 72 pins. I don't know if you'd necessarily consider these a part of the NES family. All the FamicomBox games have the same label, except for the top part of the label, which shows the name of the game in Japanese.
A list of the games for the FamicomBox: Baseball; Devil World; Donald Land; Duck Hunt; F1 Race; Ghosts 'n Goblins; Golf; Ice Climbers; Ice Hockey; Mah-Jong; Operation Wolf; Tag Team Pro Wrestling; Takahashi Meijin no Boukenjima; Senjou no Ookami; Super Mario Bros.
There's also a system similar to the FamicomBox called the Famicom Station that likely had 72-pin cartridges. Unfortunately, I've got no pics or a list for that one.

One other note, FamicomBOX would only play the black famicombox games as well, it had some secruity measure so not just any game would work. But oddly enough, the FamicomBOX games would play in a regular NES.
We plan to add all the known ones soon, we just don't have enough time in the day to add all the info we have, very time consuming. Thanks though, cause I would for sure consider these part of the NES even though they were meant for the Fami. If you think of other stuff feel free to post it.

You know, you're right about the lockout. Some guys on my forum have been exploring ways to disable it. More complex than an NES, that's for sure.

And the Famicom Station was made by Sharp. It's almost a replica of the FamicomBox, with, I would assume, though I've never seen any, similar cartridges as the FamicomBox. It's something you should look into, since you consider FamicomBox cartridges a part of the NES family.

EDIT: Also note that some of your list might not be accurate. For instance, Mega Man is Rock Man in Japan, and Punch-Out was never released in the Japanese market, though Mike Tyson's Punch-Out was released there.

And I just bought myself a near perfect FamicomBox straight from Japan -- it only cost me $100, but the shipping is likely to kill me, which is estimated at $187 right now. I'll let you know if I see anything, but all I've seen so far -- and where I got my Box -- is on Yahoo! Japan auctions.
