No, never came out. It was supposed to be a joint project with Sony, but then they changed their mind and released the Sony PlayStation.

Sony didn't change their minds.  Nintendo screwed them over by showing up with their new gf, Phillips, at a con instead.  Well, hell hath no fury like a Sony scorned, so they showed the world by making the PlayStation.

Yeah, I realized later I mixed that up, but forgot where I said it. :p

There was also the Nintendo 64 DD (disk drive) that never really got off the ground.

This one was actually released, but only in Japan in limited numbers (I think it was through a mail-order service or something). You can find them floating around on eBay sometimes, but they usually sell for several hundred bucks each.

Yes, I've seen them on eBay too. Great for someone that has huge wads of money to blow. :p By 'off the ground', I meant it never really went anywhere.
