Podcast: Nintendo’s Double Ds
This week Fred and Jam talk about Nintendo’s random and rare add-on for the Nintendo 64 that only released in Japan, the 64 DD. A compression disk drive that allowed various forms of software and accessories that were quite forward thinking when announced in 1995 but ultimately was anitquated when it finally premiered in 1999. With some of the most versatile and interesting software of the late 90s, the 64 DD is not simply an add-on to display on a shelf (although that’s what most do with it).

Ura Zelda is still not “Master Quest” as seen on the Gamecube release or 3DS. Ura Zelda was specifically supposed to include new areas, characters and other story elements and use the RTC feature of the 64DD, none of which appear in the “remix” that is the Master Quest.

(Elements such as the time were later used in Majora’s Mask – Gaiden and Ura have a weird parallel development which makes them very tricky to separate)
