Certain games allow saving of game files to the Controller Pak, which plugs into the back of the Nintendo 64 controller (as do the Rumble and Transfer Paks). The Controller Pak (NUS-004) is the console's memory card, comparable to those seen in the PlayStation and other CD-ROM-based video game consoles. The Nintendo 64 video game console had a market lifespan from 1996 to 2002. Third party accessories include the essential game developer tools built by SGI and SN Systems on Nintendo's behalf, an unlicensed SharkWire online service, and unlicensed cheaper counterparts to first party items. Nintendo's first party accessories are mainly transformative system expansions: the 64DD Internet multimedia platform, with a floppy drive, video capture and editor, game building setup, web browser, and online service the controller plus its own expansions for storage and rumble feedback and the RAM-boosting Expansion Pak for big improvements in graphics and gameplay. The list of Nintendo 64 accessories includes first party Nintendo hardware-and third party hardware, licensed and unlicensed.
