4. Why do you no longer make Nintendo 64’s any more?
At Nintendo we are constantly looking to provide the best possible gaming experiences. GameCube provides that opportunity with bigger world, more detailed graphics, superior sound and more.
From the early days of the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) to the Super NES and now the Nintendo 64, we have seen an amazing progression in technology.
In the gaming industry, this allows for developers to create bigger and better games, so the end result is a huge benefit for the game player.
In 2002 and beyond, games developers will be focused on products such as the Game Boy Advance and the new Nintendo GameCube.
5. My game says it requires an Expansion Pak! Where can I get the Expansion Pak from?
Games like Donkey Kong 64, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask and Perfect Dark all require the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pak for full gameplay. The Expansion Pak is available from Nintendo Spare Parts. To order one, please contact Nintendo Customer Service on (03) 9730 9822 during business hours.
6. What does the Expansion Pak do?
The Expansion Pak is a 4-megabyte Random Access Memory (RAM) cartridge that inserts into the top of the Nintendo 64 game console. There is a removable panel on the top of the console, and the 4 meg Expansion Pak simply slides into the slot. (Please follow the instructions included with the Expansion Pak carefully.) The Expansion Pak allows developers to create games with larger worlds, bigger animation sequences, and more complex game play. Total RAM memory will increase to 8MB, allowing players to enjoy select N64 games using a "high resolution" option. High resolution graphics are crisper and contain a higher definition than the already brilliant N64 graphics. Certain games require the Expansion Pak for full gameplay.
7. How do I delete information from my Controller Pak?
Before turning the Nintendo 64 on, hold down the red ‘Start’ button in the centre of the controller. While the Start button is depressed switch the console on to enable the Controller Pak manager.
