Nintendo 64DD: A Closer Look

A short video showing a closer look at the Legendary Nintendo 64DD. The Nintendo 64DD is an expansion system for the Nintendo 64. It was named the "Dynamic Drive" at the start of development, and plugs into the N64 through the EXTension Port on the Nintendo 64's underside. It was stated as a "Commercial Failure" due to late development and the N64's already dying life.

This unit was never released in America, and holds its value for being one of the rarest items in Nintendo's history.

Also, yes, this is my N64DD. Alot of people have been asking if I own one, and yes, I am a proud owner of an N64DD.

Are you running this on a Japanese N64? Does the 64DD work with an American Nintendo 64 assuming the physical lockouts have been removed. My American Nintendo 64 does play Japanese N64 games including Ganbare Goemon and Donkey Kong 64 Japanese no problem. I have a 64DD on the way, I just want to make sure that they will work with each other. I know both the American and Japanese machines are basically the same NTSC machine. I figure I would ask someone who owns a 64DD though.

@PrinzessinRamode You should have no problems running your DD on your N64. Enjoy it man.

@METALMAN4Wii This video is old. I took this using my Sony Ericsson w300i, which was a flip phone that did not capture video all that well, so the quality wasn't that great and made things hazey. At the time, it was all I had.

@susbeanz It was a failure in Japan so when it was released in North America, Nintendo saw a bleak future for the N64DD, so as a result they didnt produce very many of them and it was only available through mail ordering (as it wasnt available in retail).

also most of the games that were being developed for it were canceled to be ported onto the gamecube instead.
