Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Controller Pak is an optional accessory that enhances the memory-saving features of selected games. These games have the Controller Pak icon on the Game Pak packaging. The Controller Pak can save game progress, Controller button configurations, built-up character attributes, created characters and more.

Game information saved on a Controller Pak can be uploaded later to another N64 system. For example, if you are playing a football game, you can save your favorite team's statistics to a Controller Pak. You can then take your Controller Pak to a friend's house, upload your stats, and see whose team is better.

How It Works
Information from multiple games can be saved to a single Controller Pak. Information from multiple games can be saved to a single Controller Pak. One Controller Pak has 123 pages of memory.

Depending on the game you own, there are a couple of different ways to delete the saved information on a Controller Pak.

1. While turning on the Nintendo 64 (N64), hold down the START on Controller #1. If the programmers utilized this feature, an N64 Controller Pak menu should appear. On this menu, you will be able to view and/or delete the contents of the N64 Controller Pak.

2. If the first option doesn't work, then the Game Pak most likely has a feature that can only be accessed within the game. For example, in Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey, you can only access this feature under the Options screen. To find out how your Controller Pak works with a specific game you own, check out the instruction manual for the game in question.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works for me!, November 30, 2002

I've had a Nintendo 64 for 4 years, and don't play it often anymore, with all the new-generation systems around, but it served me well. And nothing served better with it then this one Memory Pak. All those 4 years, I only used ONE, yes, ONE memory card, and that was this very one. Still use it today. It saved every single game I ever entered into it, never forgot anything, and when I needed to delete something (never for the reason of needing more space), it worked perfectly, with no problems at all. Get this.

I had real problems with my rayman 2 game because I could never save it, but when my friend told me about the memory pack and its really cheap price I jumped so high I almost broke my leg!!!! So with that I rated this Game 5 stars because of it's usefulness and I could gat it whith a weeks allowance.

This review is from: Nintendo 64 Controller Pak (Video Game)

This controller pak allows you to save certain games that won't save onto the N64 game cartridge. It works like a charm and has thus far helped me to save several games. Its a little hard to navigate when compared to the next-gen Gamecube memory cards, but it does its job of saving games well.
