The '''Nintendo 64''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ニンテンドー64|Nintendō Rokujūyon}}''' ''Nintendo 64'' ), often abbreviated as the '''N64''', is [[Nintendo]]'s fourth home console and the successor to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. A magnetic disk drive peripheral called the [[Nintendo 64DD|64DD]] was released for the console in Japan in 1999, but it sold poorly and its international release was canceled. The Nintendo 64 was succeeded by the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. | |||
A Mother game titled ''Mother 3: Fall of The Pig King'' (announced in North America as [[EarthBound 64]]) was developed for the 64DD after it was realized that the development team's plans for the game exceeded the hardware capabilities of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]], and later moved to the Nintendo 64 itself after the 64DD's continuous delays made any outcome where it was a financial success a doubtful one. It was cancelled in August 2000 due to its continued development potentially taking resources away from the upcoming Nintendo GameCube, and was eventually moved to the [[Game Boy Advance]] as [[Mother 3]]. No games in the [[Mother (series)|Mother series]] were released on the Nintendo 64 because of this, however [[Ness]] was featured as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros.]] | |||
Many games for the Nintendo 64 were re-released as Virtual Console titles on the Wii Shop Channel and later the Nintendo eShop for the Wii U. Among these titles is Super Smash Bros., which was released on the Wii Shop in 2009. Two Nintendo 64 titles are included in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] as Masterpieces. | |||
