		The 64DD plugged into the EXTension Port found underneath the Nintendo 64.The unit was essentially the next generation equivalent of the Famicom Disk System.
		The Nintendo 64 Disks would be bootable, meaning that they can be used without a cartridge in the system (although they can also be used in conjunction with a cartridge).
		Nintendo had already ported a few of the games announced onto cartridge format with the aid of the N64 Expansion Pack (See Nintendo 64).

	Nintendo 64DD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nintendo, anticipating that their long planned out disc drive peripheral would become a commercial failure, sold the system through a subscription service called RANDnet rather than selling the system directly to consumers or to retail outlets only in Japan.
		It was supposed to be Nintendo's answer to the Compact Disc that was used for Sony's PlayStation, which was cheaper to produce.
		The 64DD may be seen as the Nintendo 64 equivalent of the Famicom Disk System, the aborted PlayStation CD-ROM add-on and the Satellaview for the Super Famicom.

	Discover the Wisdom of Mankind on Nintendo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Nintendo has the reputation of historically being the longest running company in the video game console market and the most influential and well-known console manufacturer, as well as being the dominant leader of the handheld console market.
		Nintendo released an add-on to the Nintendo 64 in Japan, titled the Nintendo 64DD, on December 1 1999.
		Nintendo also continues to produce the consoles with the least heavy injection protection hardware; whereas it is difficult to illegally copy a Nintendo game, it is surprisingly easy to generate novel software, which is not true of the major competing consoles.

	Nintendo 64DD
		The 64DD (64-megabyte disk drive) is a hardware unit that fits snugly under the Nintendo 64.
		A really cool thing about 64DD is that it enables developers to make games that can utilize both cartridge and disk.
		64DD owners, presumably, will possibly be able to connect to a network and play against other players, or even be able to download add-ons, upgrades, cheats and tweaks.

	The 64DD:Nintendo's Disk Drive
		Nintendo's official word on the 64DD in the US is so vague, people's faces usually crinkle up in frustration and despair: "The official word is that Nintendo's 64DD is coming out in 1998.
		Nintendo has always said that cartridges are the best way to bring a game to life on videogame consoles.
		Nintendo has only ever really said that cartridges have benefits that CD-ROMs don't, and while many gamers somehow believed this (qualities like fast loading games and durability), most developers, executives, and knowledgeable tech heads simply chuckled.

	N-Europe: Feature: Nintendo Wired
		The comments from Nintendo over the last few years seemed to indicate that online gaming just wasn’t profitable, and just wasn’t big enough to justify their interest, but the language was heavily qualified.
		Nintendo has always been a secretive company, never giving away anything about its plans and policies until it is necessary.
		Nintendo’s announcements about wireless gaming on a global network for the Revolution and DS should not have come as much of a surprise though — with the 64DD Nintendo had the technology to go online, but preferred to wait until there was a market for the product.

		Nintendo has hinted at the development of a 3D fighting game that utilizes downloadable data and custom-created texture maps.

	GameSpot: Nintendo Says 64DD Delayed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		According to Reuters, a company spokesman for Nintendo said that the postponing comes as a result of delays in the development of the disks and the drive itself.
		In Japan, where Nintendo's 64-bit machine has not sold nearly as well as in the US, it was hoped that the DD peripheral would increase sales.
		Earlier, Nintendo released new pictures of both Zelda and Mother 3 to the Japanese press, hoping to catch the eye of players who had not yet purchased a system.

	The Croft Times
		Anyone who bought a Nintendo 64 with the aim of upgrading it with the fabled 64DD must be feeling pretty deceived, especially those who owned a SNES and planned to plug Nintendo's vapourware CD-ROM drive into it.
		The big idea behind the 64DD was that extra levels could be made available for popular games, and enormous games wouldn't fit on a cartridge would be published on the 64DD.
		Nintendo has decided that the 64DD is too risky a proposition (and looking at Sega's attempts to launch Megadrive add-ons such as the Mega-CD and 32X, it's probably right), and is instead launching a 4Mb memory upgrade that enables a 640x480 video mode.

	Generation-N - Did You Know? Nintendo is actually no stranger to offering online gaming services...
		The N64's disk drive add-on, the 64DD, not only played games using content-alterable disks, but a seperate cartridge-based modem was actually able to connect to the N64, which in turn was connected to the 64DD unit.
		Nintendo and a company named Recruit worked together in bringing an online service to 64DD gamers called Randnet, which originally launched on December 1st, 1999.
		However, as the 64DD sported merely nine games in its library and was discontinued shortly after release, these options were never really put to use.

	Nintendo 64 information - Search.com
		Nintendo 64 is perhaps best known for one of its launch titles, Super Mario 64, which is still considered to have set the standard for 3D platform games and is considered by many to be one of the greatest games ever published.
		The Nintendo 64 was the last mainstream home video game console to use ROM cartridges to store its games (although the last real cartridge based system to have still continued production was SNK's Neo Geo hardware until 2004).
		This was the primary cause of Nintendo 64's blurry texturing, secondary to the blurring caused by the bilinear filtering and limited ROM storage.

	64SCENER
		In December 2000 the 64DD and the online RandnetDD service was discontinued by Nintendo and the service closed down in March 2001, Nintendo has given away the last 3 months of service away for free to subscribers as a small thanks for their support, but not accepting new subscriptions.
		The 64DD was Nintendo's answer to the world that they could bring down costs at a time where chip manufacturing costs rised because of a worldwide shortage.
		At first the 64DD was sold by subscription only, so you had to sign up for the RandnetDD service, however later on another version was released which didn't include the service or any games.

	Gamasutra - MGT Report "Buzz Out East" [06.25.99]
		A final hypothesis: This announcement underlines the fact that Nintendo's next-generation console isn't really likely to be ready for release when they indicated in their E3 announcement, if they're still willing to release the 64DD after such a delay.
		Nintendo's whole game plan seems to have been partially spoiled by the vastly increased quality and storage of DVD formats, and the unfortunate fact that telecommunications networks have not been keeping up with this data increase.
		Nintendo's Space World exhibition is confirmed for August 27-29, and they'll be showing off the Zelda expansion for N64, Kirby 64, and Pokemon Gold and Silver for the Game Boy, among other things.

	64DD - Nintendo 64 Disk Drive
		64DD is the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, named the Dynamic Drive at the start of its development.
		It was designed due to the high cost of cartridges for the main Nintendo 64 system, and their low storage capacity.
		The released version of 64DD included a modem for connecting to the testing network RANDnet, an audio-video (female RCA jack, and line in) adaptor to plug-into the main cartridge slot, a mouse that plugged into the controller inputs, and some games: Sim City 64, F-zero Xpansion, Doshin The Giant, and the Maker Trilogy.

		While the press has been all positive as Nintendo launched their fifth major console, some critics are starting to talk about the system's paltry hardware advances.
		But that's what Nintendo is going for; the Wii itself is using old technology to create a new gaming experience, and for that they don't need a 50 pound console.
		Nintendo decided to keep the look of the Wii simple, which is exactly the direction I was hoping they would go.

		During his keynote address at last week's 2007 Game Developers Conference, Nintendo's chief developer Shigeru Miyamoto revealed to a packed audience that he had been trying to implement a concept similar to the Mii Channel for two decades.
		Starting with the original NES disk drive system, a memory-expanding peripheral for the eight bit Nintendo console that never saw massive commercial release, Miyamoto showed attendees a character creation tool which players could use to create simple two dimensional avatars.
		The problem that Nintendo ran into with both of these examples was that it was unclear to developers how to make an actual game out of these concepts.
