A Nintendo 64 with a 64DD attached to it.
The Nintendo 64DD (also known as the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive or the Nintendo 64 Dynamic Drive) was an add-on for the Nintendo 64 released exclusively in Japan. Similarily to the much more successful Famicom Disk System, the Disk Drive used magnetic disks, offered large amounts of storage compared to most cartridges, and was plugged into the bottom of the console.
Plans were made to release the Disk Drive elsewhere, though after failing to make an impression in Japan the plans were cut. Its failure could perhaps be attributed to the lack of high-profile games for the hardware, its release late in the console's life, and the multitude of unincluded but previously announced features. Some games previously announced with Disk Drive support were instead released without such support or were moved to competing consoles.
