Not to argue with your point because it is certainly valid, but the N64 had that expansion module for DK 64 and a few other games, yet managed to survive that.

- kbrackbill 6y agoThe expansion module was just more RAM, not a whole new system. I think the 32x is more comparable to the N64DD, which failed and never actually made it to the US.
- kipchak 6y agoIf i remember right the expansion module was included with DK64 which helped ease the pain a bit.
- Scoundreller 6y agoHeh, my friend believed it turned his 64bit system into a 68bit system.
- rasz 6y agoThe fun fact about N64 memory expansion is it was on a 9 bit bus ;o) Rambus at that.
- masklinn 6y agoThe expansion pak was only required for 2 or 3 games, and bundled with one of them. Most of the games with epak support used it to increase quality and / or framerate, the game worked fine without. It was also relatively cheap ($50).
- yellowapple 6y ago> It was also relatively cheap ($50). Which is kinda impressive (for the time at least) considering how expensive RDRAM was/is relative to e.g. SDRAM.
