The meta data of a copy located by @hazyfieldpeople and @MaxiGamerALT and publicized by Fontendo (used for sample) states it was generated by Fontographer 4.1J on June 17, 1998, suggesting that this is not the (custom?) original used by Nintendo, but a later recreation.
This entry is used for both the original (name unknown) and the 1998 recreation named System-N.
