Nah fuck the disc drive. It never needed that shit. The games on 64 were fantastic and still great today. There was truly no need for this.

If you wanted discs you bought PS1. I liked the variety that N64 and PS1 had to offer.

Koizumi revealed in Iwata Asks that this would have been a disaster. CD's were too slow. Out of Link's 200 - 300 animations, a CD could only process about 60 of them or something like that. So he was relieved when Ocarina of Time was canceled for it and redesigned as a cartridge-only exclusive.

That's actually why I like Nintendo games. They're like the early Paramount or Disney of vidya. In my opinion Sony games and third-parties like Capcom who went to them during the 3D era have this janky look to their animations. It's like they never grew out of that phase.

But back to topic. My stance on 64DD is simple. Show me a better game than OoT, and I will begin to entertain the notion that the N64 would have benefited in some way from the attachment.

Because of as right now, N64 is still the most powerful machine on earth as far as I'm concerned, simply because it's the best way to play Ocarina of Time. ~~Literally, scarecrow song encore can't even be emulated.~~

Ahem, don't mean to be Mr. autismo here, but it's a disk drive, not a disc drive. i.e. magnetic media, not optical media

I don't know if it would have been a disaster. I remember it was on Nintendo Power's top most wanted list for just about the entirety of the N64's lifespan.

For games, it probably would flop, but if more software like the F-Zero expansion kit, ot the Mario Artist series got released, it could've been relatively sucessful.

Imagine, we could have something like Mario Maker on the 64.
