Some of our favorite Nintendo 64 accessories include controllers, controller packs, expansion packs, and even the N64 joystick. These accessories not only allowed players to have hours of play and fun, but they were also affordable and easy to tie.
The Nintendo 64 controller was an M-shaped handpiece with 10 easily accessible buttons that allowed it to be moved in a number of different ways. These controllers have an analog stick in the center for easy movement, a “directional joypad” on the left, and an extension port at the bottom. The controller came in a variety of seven different colors and then came in a transparent of the same colors.
The Nintendo 64 Accessories Control Pack was considered the “memory card” of the console. It is said to be comparable to other video game consoles, including some other CD-ROM based games. The controller package would allow you to save game files and connect it to the normal Nintendo 64 controller. This accessory was marketed to give consumers a way to exchange information with other Nintendo 64 players and owners and the information could be transferred between cartridges.
The Nintendo 64 Accessories Expansion Pack became familiar to gamers because it allowed the console’s RAM to increase and have more memory. The expansion pack easily fits into the slots under a removable console panel. The developers took advantage of the expansion pack and produced games that were more appealing to the eye as well as the sound and graphics. This package also increased the memory that the console had and gave enormous potential for game enhancements.
Many of the N64’s accessories are easily replaced if they are turned off. For example, I found many replacement options for even the simplest accessories, including the N64 joystick. These accessories are very reasonable in price and styles available.
