Transfer Pak
The Transfer Pak is an accessory for the Nintendo 64 (N64) controller. It features a cartridge slot compatible with Game Boy or Game Boy Color (GBC) games. When plugged into the controller's expansion port, it allows for the transfer of data between supported N64 and GBC games to access additional content. The '' Pokémon Stadium'' games, with which the Transfer Pak was initially bundled for sale, also feature the ability to emulate specific Game Boy ''Pokémon'' titles for play on the N64. The Transfer Pak was supported by 20 N64 and 64DD games released between 1998 and 2000, only six of which supported it outside of Japan.
