The '''Nintendo 64DD''' (Japanese: '''ロクヨンディーディー''' ''Six Four DD'') was a short lived expansion system for the [[Nintendo 64]]. Shortly after it was released in December 1, 1999, the product was a commercial failure due to it being delayed, and was never released outside of Japan. The name DD stands for "Dynamic Drive" at the start of the 64DD's development. The main concept for the system is it would have plugged into the bottom side of the N64 through the EXTension Port.
The '''Nintendo 64DD''' (Japanese: '''ロクヨンディーディー''' ''Sixty-Four DD''), or '''Nintendo 64 Disk Drive''', was a short lived expansion system for the [[Nintendo 64]]. Shortly after it was released in December 1, 1999, the product was a commercial failure due to it being delayed, and was never released outside of Japan. The name DD stands for "Dynamic Drive". The system plugs into the bottom of the Nintendo 64 using the EXTension Port.


The 64DD was announced at 1995's {{wp|Nintendo Shoshinkai}} game show event. At E3 in 1997, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] speculated that the first games to be released for the new system would be {{wp|SimCity 64}}, {{smw|Mario Artist}}, Pocket Monsters, and {{wb|Mother 3|EarthBound 64}}. The system was a commercial failure which led to 49 games being canceled or moved to cartridge.
