If you decide to get it, you are going to need the expansion pak for majora's mask if your n64 does not already have it.

You can probably find it cheaper somewhere.

No, I meant expansion pak.

Since others are listing places to shop, here are some things to shop for:

  • Expansion pak is required for some games.
  • 4 controllers. Joystick tightness is a thing; look at selling condition.
  • 4 more controllers, if buying Mario Party (wear on joystick).
  • At least 1 memory card. Internal memory wasn't a big thing until 7th gen (PS3/Xbox 360).
  • If you buy a rumble pak, then rechargeable batteries.

     
    Some game ideas (in no order):

  • Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (SP)
  • Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (SP)
  • 007 Goldeneye (MP)
  • Mario Kart 64 (MP)
  • Mario 64 (SP)
  • Paper Mario RPG (SP)
  • Donkey Kong 64 (SP) - requires expansion pak
  • Pokemon Stadium (MP) & controller GBC pak
  • Mario Tennis (MP)
  • Mario Party 1, 2, or 3 (MP)
  • Wave Race (MP)

    Edit: some more games:

  • Super Smash Brothers (MP)
  • I liked Kirby 64: Crystal Shards (SP) - YMMV

Since no one has posted an informative explanation about just what exactly "goes in there," here is everything you need to know to make an informed decision about which part you need.

The N64 shipped with a 4MB ram cartridge, called the "Jumper Pack." This is what came stock with every N64.

They look like this: http://imgur.com/UBEJfa3

Several years after the N64 launched, nintendo released what was called an "expansion pak." It was an 8MB RAM expansion that replaced the original "jumper pack"

The N64 "Expansion Pak" looks like this: http://imgur.com/68miFsX

Essentially, if you have an N64 that doesn't have anything in that slot, you want to purchase an "Expansion Pak" because every single game will work with it, and many games will even have enhanced resolution or additional game modes when used with it.

The stock "jumper pack" will not work with games such as Donkey Kong 64, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, or the single player portion of Perfect Dark, as they all require the upgraded "Expansion Pak"

Be sure and find a Nintendo Brand "Expansion Pak," because the third party ones have a tendency to be glitchy, and not last for very long.

Here is a list of vendors for the correct part you need from Amazon, starting at around $25 with shipping.

You can find them here for 20 bucks and probably cheaper elsewhere. I got mine for 10 bucks on ebay. The problem with handing one out is that the person that did that wont be able to play such classics as Donkey Kong 64 or GoldenEye (i think)...

And by "in the future" did he mean the [Nintendo 64"(http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-64-Expansion-Pak/dp/B00000INR2)?
