Nes power pad game

At all. Well, except maybe as an interesting piece of history. The Nintendo 64DD disk drive, or dynamic drive, depending on who you ask was an add-on for the Nintendo 64 that would have played games from a disk.

The DD was supposed to release worldwide, but flopped in Japan, and was scrapped as a result. A keyboard was released in very short quantities for the 64DD, to be used with its modem for online capability. Over the years, the Transfer Pak would go on to support about 15 other games, but its uses were limited, to say the least. It was mostly sold exclusively to hotels.
