N64 Expansion Pack Games

[Baz]

Did Nintendo make many games that warranted the use of the expansion pack? From memory I only had two games where the pack could be used, that was Perfect Dark and ISS2000. Were there many, if any, more? If so what did you think of using the expansion pack for such games?

I got the expansion pack when I purchased Donkey Kong 64, and the only other game I had that supported it was Perfect Dark. I believe the difference from Perfect Dark with and without it was a huge difference.

N64 had expansion packs for games? I never knew that. xD

sounds pretty neat though, getting extra content and such.

Back then I really didn't understand what it was for and was pretty young not to notice what it did for games but I had it in the console anyways. I should see what games look like without it.

I knew that The Legend Of Zelda Majora's Mask needed the exposition pack. It used the extra stuff for blurred frame effects ;like at the beginning of the game when link falls down the whole and gets turned into the deku scrub. I also knew that Donkey Kong 64 came with one as it was the only way to fix a game breaking glitch or something.

Actually, it just increased the system's RAM for longer draw distance, faster graphics, etc.
It was also necessary for DK64 (to fix a game-breaking glitch), and Majora's Mask.

Majora's Mask made use of the expansion pack, and it was AWESOME. DK64 also used the expansion pack. Although the expansion pack was only used by a small handful of games, I think it made these a little bit more realistic, graphics and gameplay wise.
