The [[Nintendo 64]] (N64) is a cartridge-based console created by [[Nintendo]]. It is the successor to the {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System}}, and was eventually succeeded by the [[Nintendo GameCube]].
The '''Nintendo 64''' (Japanese: '''ニンテンドウ{{j|64}}''' ''Nintendo 64''), often shortened to '''N64''', is a cartridge-based console created by [[Nintendo]]. It is the successor to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], and was eventually succeeded by the [[Nintendo GameCube]].
 
The Nintendo 64 is named for its 64-bit central processing unit. It was the last major home console to use cartridges as a primary storage format until the [[Nintendo Switch]]. It was first codenamed "Project Reality" and later referred to as the "Ultra 64" before the final name was chosen. It was originally set to release in mid-1995, but was delayed to 1996 for hardware problems in the chipset.
 
==Peripherals==
*'''{{nw|Expansion Pak}}''' – a memory expansion that replaces the console's ''Jumper Pak'' found in the ''Memory Expansion'' port. It increases available memory from 4MB to 8MB and changes the internal resolution from 320×240 to 640×480 for games that can utilize it. The only Pokémon game that can utilize it fully is [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
*'''[[Transfer Pak]]''' – an accessory that plugged into the controller and allowed the Nintendo 64 to transfer data between Game Boy and N64 games. {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and Pokémon Stadium 2 are games that rely heavily on the Transfer Pak.
*''' [[Nintendo 64DD]]''' – a short lived expansion system for the Nintendo 64. Several Pokémon games that were announced for the N64DD were either canceled or released on cartridge format only.
*'''VRU ([[Voice Recognition Unit]])''' – This device is packed in and required to play [[Hey You, Pikachu!]].
*'''Rumble Pak''' – an optional plug in device that "shakes" the controller in enabled games. The only Pokémon related game that uses it is [[Super Smash Bros.]] The name was used again for the [[Nintendo DS]] accessory.
