I recommend this for everyone who owns a Nintendo 64. Some games require you to use a memory card, unless you like starting over alot. I also recommend that you purchase two memory cards, because some games take up LOTS of space.

Obviously the stock photo did not match the item when I opened it, it looked like a 3rd rate knock off but I decided to try it anyways
it surprisingly worked, I only had 2 instances when it the game didn't want to read the memory card but I just took it out cleaned a bit and since then I haven't had any problems at all
it's cheaper than some other N64 memory cards so I would recommend it, since its cheap and it works, what more can you ask
EDIT: I did notice the price went up, I would recommend buying it used/talk with the seller first

I have 3 of these memory cards and 2 of them are corrupted. Even though they worked not too long ago. The Performance Memory for the N64 is fickle in that it works great sometimes for long periods, and then it suddenly decides to corrupt all your data. It's frustrating. Just like Memory cards for all systems it's best to go with the official Nintendo 64 Controller Pak. It may not hold as many "pages" of memory, but it'll be a more secure way of saving your data.

As a warning, try to stay away from generic memory for the Gamecube, PS1, and PS2 as well. I don't know what it is about all these third party companies that make memory for systems, but it's never reliable.

The N64 memery card is for games that don't have the battery backup
system.I don't curently remember what games are supported but one
that is NOT is Pokemon Stadium,it is saved by battery backup.

I absolutely like this product from Nintendo. It is a great way to finally save your memory on this card. I would always have the go through the game from the start to the end for many days on end. It is fun playing the game from the beginning, but it can sometimes be a hassle and take a lot of time to play the video game from the start to the end. Anyway I have to warn you that when I ordered my memory card from this seller. It did not look like the image I see which is a black colored memory card for Nintendo 64 manufactured by Interact / Performance shown on the seller's image. Nice design and I was hoping to get that one, but what I received back from the seller was a smaller, grey regular size official Nintendo memory card, or more likely a clear see through version type. When I put the memory card in the Nintendo 64 controller, then press Start Button leads me into the main menu of the memory card that showed I only show room of 16 pages of memory or I can save 16 many different types of memory to store from the Nintendo 64 video games. On the memory card plastic package it says 123 pages of memory for a bigger version of it. On the clear see-through memory card that I have there is a sticker that says 256K which I do not know what it means. One last thing to add-on is that I also received a Nintendo 64 carrying case for many other memory cards but for bigger versions of memory cards.

I USE TO PLAY MONOPOLY ALL THE TIME AND ALMOST WIN AT THE END BUT THE GAME FREZZES. AND I SAY "OH NO"!!ALSO ON SOME GAMES LIKE SOUTHPARK YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MEMORY CARD OR YOUR WINNING WILL BE GONE FOR GODD. AND I HAVE A LITTLE NEPHEW AND HE MESS UP THE GAME ALL THE TIME SO I COULDN'T EVEN PLAY SO I SAID I HAVE TO GET A MEMORY CARD. SO NOW I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS IT WORKS PERFECT. THANKS NINTENDO!!
