The '''Nintendo 64DD''' (Nintendo 64 Disk Drive) was a machine that attached to a [[Nintendo 64]] and played games in the form of discs. It ended up being a Commercial failure, so it wasn't released outside of Japan. There were several [[Mario]] games playable for this console, and several more that were cancelled. All of the games were in the ''[[Mario Artist]]'' series. There were only 9 Games. There were also several peripherals used for it.

The Nintendo 64DD logo.

The Nintendo 64DD (short for "64 Dynamic Drive")[2] is a disk drive unit that, like the Family Computer Disk System, attaches to a Nintendo 64 and can play games in a magnetic disk format, with the disks containing their own internal memory written through the N64 instead of the disk itself. There were also several peripherals used for it. The system was released only in Japan in December 1999, following numerous developmental delays,[citation needed] and it was scheduled for release in North America in 2000, but it ended up being a commercial failure both due to its belated Japanese release and due to the way it was sold (mainly through subscription to the Randnet online service, with little to no retail units in stores); consequently, the planned American release was canceled, leaving the add-on exclusive to Japan.

There were four games of the Super Mario franchise released on this console, all in the Mario Artist series; there were also several canceled Super Mario titles. Overall, there were only ten games released on the Nintendo 64DD, although other games planned for the console were released on the original Nintendo 64, the Sony PlayStation, the Sega Dreamcast, and the next-generation Nintendo GameCube or were canceled altogether.
