Goods worth up to AED 1,000 are free of customs duty, but UAE VAT of 5% applies to imported goods; Emirates Post collects it before delivery. Above AED 1,000, 5% customs duty is added — none of this is included in the price at checkout.

Crossing the border costs you more and takes longer. That you accept that anyway means a great deal to me.

Parcel (console / 4+ items), tracked: AED 222.96
Delivery time: 5-9 working days

We ship from the Netherlands: your parcel crosses the world, so it takes longer and costs more than a domestic delivery. Goods worth up to AED 1,000 are free of customs duty, but UAE VAT of 5% applies to imports; above AED 1,000, 5% duty is added. Emirates Post collects it before delivery — it is not included in the price at checkout.

On your console in the UAE: Nintendo 64 games are region-locked: this Japanese (NTSC-J) edition plays on a Japanese (NTSC-J) Nintendo 64 — check the region of your console, or ask us in the chat.

The United Arab Emirates are outside the EU. Goods worth up to AED 1,000 are free of customs duty (Dubai Customs, since 3 August 2026), but UAE VAT of 5% applies to imported goods; Emirates Post collects it before delivery. Above AED 1,000, 5% customs duty is added as well. None of this is included in the price at checkout. You pay in UAE dirhams — Credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The amount at checkout is what your card is charged, at our fixed shop rate; your bank converts nothing. Prefer PayPal? Choose euros at checkout.

Why does shipping abroad cost this much?

Inside the Netherlands a single game fits through the letterbox — AED 18.18, tracking included. That service stops at the border. Anything leaving the country goes with PostNL as an international parcel, which is a different and considerably more expensive service. That is where the AED 148.57 comes from: the border itself is not what costs money, the cheap service simply ends there.

That amount covers the PostNL rate to your country plus the packaging: bubble mailer or box, an antistatic sleeve for the cartridge, and tape. We never drop the tracking — on a parcel that crosses a border, shipping without proof of delivery is a risk for both of us.

Without you there would be nothing to grow. Every order that comes in here is the reason this shop can get bigger — and the reason I can keep doing this.

About this product

Mario Kart 64 (JPN) for Nintendo 64 — Mario Kart is still one of Nintendo's best-loved series to this day.

The kart racer that livened up every party collection. 16 tracks, 4-player split screen, Rainbow Road — timeless fun.

With its original box — increasingly hard to find in this condition and a highlight in any collection. Cartridge cleaned and tested on original hardware, ready to play.

The Nintendo 64 came out in 1996: 64-bit graphics and the analogue stick that made 3D control the console standard — Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, GoldenEye. On the original cartridge the game runs the way it was meant to — and keeps working for years to come.

Who is this for? Anyone who would rather play on a real Nintendo 64 than in an emulator — collectors who want the original in their hands, and players who simply want that feeling back.

Nintendo 64 games are region-locked: this Japanese (NTSC-J) edition plays on a Japanese (NTSC-J) Nintendo 64 — check the region of your console, or ask us in the chat. Every item passes our authenticity check (shell, board, Nintendo markings) and a function test — you're buying 100% original Nintendo.

Shipped from the Netherlands with PostNL tracking to the UAE: from AED 222.96; no customs duty on goods up to AED 1,000, UAE VAT (5%) is collected on delivery. 30-day returns.

Seen it cheaper elsewhere?

For most titles there’s also a private listing online, sometimes a little cheaper. The difference isn’t in the title, but in the copy itself and in everything around it.

Does it work?: Here: Has been running here — save and label checked — before it went online.; Private seller: ‘Works’ in the photo. You test it yourself, after buying.
Is it genuine?: Here: Six checks: screw, label, circuit board, weight, save and boot. A reproduction doesn’t get through.; Private seller: Fakes are a plague with Pokémon and GBA games, and in a photo you can’t tell the difference.
If it disappoints?: Here: 30-day cooling-off period, and a 30-day warranty that it works.; Private seller: No right of withdrawal: consumer law doesn’t apply between private individuals. Buyer protection only covers the first 48 hours after delivery; after that you’re on your own.
Who’s behind it?: Here: One person, who has held this game personally and answers your question personally.; Private seller: Varies per listing.

Why you still remember this

The blue shell curse, in the living room

Four controllers, one sofa, and the same old argument about who was player one. The last bend of Rainbow Road, the blue shell that came exactly one second too early, and someone shouting “I’m not playing any more” — and ten seconds later playing again.

One copy, this copy. Evenings like these only work with a disc or cartridge you slide in while friends are over — not with an account and a four-gigabyte update.

Will it work on my console?

Compatibility — Nintendo 64

Nintendo 64 cartridges are region-locked: PAL (Europe) cartridges only work on PAL N64 consoles, NTSC ones on NTSC consoles.

Important — import version

Please note: this is the Japanese (NTSC-J) release. Nintendo 64 games are region-locked, so this copy does NOT work on a European (PAL) Nintendo 64. It is meant for Japanese consoles or a region-free modded console.

Compatibility overview for Mario Kart 64 (JPN): which consoles this cartridge works on.
Console	Works?	Details
Nintendo 64 PAL	No	Does not work with this Japanese version (region lock)
Nintendo 64 NTSC (USA/JP)	Yes	Works with this Japanese version

Nintendo 64 PAL: Does not work with this Japanese version (region lock)
Nintendo 64 NTSC (USA/JP): Works with this Japanese version

Please note

•PAL cartridges have physical key tabs that block NTSC consoles (and vice versa) — this is at hardware level.

Authenticity check

How we test Nintendo 64 games for authenticity

N64 cartridges (1996-2002) are premium collector’s items. Fakes exist for top games (Mario 64, Ocarina, Smash). We go through these five steps. Every Nintendo 64 game in our shop goes through this five-step check before it is sold.

1
3.8 mm gamebit screws
Original N64 cartridges are closed with two 3.8 mm gamebit screws on the back — the same size as NES and SNES cartridges (the 4.5 mm belongs to the consoles themselves). Counterfeits sometimes have Phillips screws or no screw at all (glue).
2
Cartridge plastic + label
Original: thick plastic, matte finish, label sharply printed without colour deviations. Fakes are often shiny or the wrong colour (especially Pokémon Stadium 2 + Mario 64).
3
PCB seal + chip configuration
Open it with a 3.8 mm gamebit. The PCB has Nintendo engraved + the correct chip layout. Fakes have generic chips or fake branding.
4
Cartridge weight ~90-120 grams
An original N64 cartridge weighs about 90 to 120 grams — most around 90-92, the big ones (Pokémon Stadium 2, Smash Bros.) towards 120 (measured range). Counterfeits with thinner plastic are lighter.
5
Starting up and saving
Insert it into an N64. The game loads to the title screen within 3 to 5 seconds. Save (where possible) → eject → reload → persists. Fake: corrupted save, crashes at iconic events.

What we see with Nintendo 64 games

Our experience

N64 cartridges (1996-2002) have become sought-after collector’s items. Fakes exist for top games (Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Smash Bros). We check the 3.8 mm gamebit screws, the Nintendo seal on the circuit board and the start-up. Many cartridges have wear on the contact pins after 25+ years — they need cleaning with isopropyl alcohol first.

Our tip

N64 cartridges are region-locked: a USA cartridge does NOT work on a PAL N64 without modification. We state the region for every product. The PAL version runs at 50 Hz, the American one at 60 Hz — the latter plays noticeably smoother.

About the Nintendo 64

The Nintendo 64 (1996) is the console that revolutionised 3D gaming. With 33 million units sold, the N64 was a modest commercial success, but its games — Super Mario 64, Zelda Ocarina of Time, GoldenEye 007 — have become icons. Cartridges instead of CDs make N64 games durable: they still work perfectly after 30 years.

4 MB of RAM in the standard configuration, expandable to 8 MB with the Expansion Pak — Majora’s Mask and Donkey Kong 64 require it.
Almost 300 physical games released in Europe (PAL region).
The analogue stick on the controller was a revolution and became the standard for everything that followed.
GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart 64 and Super Smash Bros. defined multiplayer gaming.

Our tip: N64 on a modern TV: a line doubler such as the RetroTINK or an HDMI mod gives the sharpest picture. Composite RCA works, but gives a blurry picture on 4K TVs.

Is the manual included with Mario Kart 64 (JPN)?

This is delivered as "Game in original box with manual". The original box is included. A manual may be included too, but we do not guarantee it separately — which is why we call it "Game in original box with manual" and not "complete in box".

Does Mario Kart 64 (JPN) have a save battery that can run flat?

Only games with a save function have one: a CR2025 in Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges, a CR2032 in the N64 titles that save to SRAM — they usually last 10 to 20 years. A game that works with passwords or high scores has no battery to run flat. For every game with a save we test saving before it ships: make a save, switch off, load again. If the battery runs flat later, it can be replaced: within 30 days of purchase we do it for free.

I hope Gameshop Enter gives you back a piece of how it used to be.

That it’s soon in your hands again and feels exactly the way you remember it — that’s what this shop was started for.
