Its a shame Nintendo didn't keep their promises with that 64DD thing. If it had come out in the west instead of just in Japan, and if it had come out years earlier in the N64's life instead of at the tail end of it then it might have succeeded. This would have addressed a lot of the issues the N64 had with lack of storage space on the cartridges. While it isn't the same amount of storage as what a CD has, it still would have been a lot more than what the carts alone could do, so some stuff like FMV (though not as much) could have been done to some extent in the games. Maybe we'd have seen a lot more RPGs on the system instead of barely any. Maybe Nintendo wouldn't have lost the support of Square and others at this time. Who knows?
This would have helped, but it came way too late and even then only in Japan. Nintendo promised much more than what they delivered.
Oh yeah, and unlike CDs these disks were rewritable so that's another thing too. Would have had a lot of potential for user made content. We'll never know the full extent of what might have been.
