Nintendo 64 accessories

Nintendo 64 accessories are first-party Nintendo hardware—and third-party hardware, licensed and unlicensed—intended for use with the Nintendo 64, which was released in 1996. Nintendo's first-party accessories are mainly transformative system expansions: the 64DD Internet multimedia platform, with a floppy drive, video capture and editing, game designer, web browser, and online service; the controller plus its own expansions for storage, data transfer, and vibration; and the RAM-boosting Expansion Pak for improvements in graphics and gameplay. Third-party accessories include the essential game developer tools built for Nintendo by Silicon Graphics and SN Systems, an unlicensed SharkWire Online service, and unlicensed cheaper counterparts to first-party items.
