The Nintendo 64DD (Nintendo 64 Disk Drive) was a machine that attached to a Nintendo 64 and could play games in a disc format. 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.

• Mario Artist: Communication Kit
• Mario Artist: Talent Studio
• Mario Artist: Paint Studio
• Mario Artist: Polygon Studio
• Sim City 64
• F-Zero X Expansion Kit
• Doshin the Giant
• Doshin the Giant 2
• Japan Pro Golf Tournament

Trivia

• It's the equivalent to the Famicom Disk System, the aborted SNES CD add-on, and the Sega CD for the Sega Genesis.
• One of the possible reasons why it failed was because it used Magnetic Disks instead of Compact Discs.
