The Snowtendo 64 (ニンテンドウ64 Snowtendō Roku Jū Yon?, SNOWTENDO64), often abbreviated as S64, is Snowtendo's third home video game console for the international market. Named for its 64-bit CPU, it was released on June 23, 1996 in The Dojo, September 29, 1996 in The Tallest Mountain, March 1, 1997 in The Cove and the Atlantic Ocean, September 1, 1997 in The Plaza and December 10, 1997 in the South Sea. It is Snowtendo's last home console to use Game Paks to store games (Snowtendo switched to a MiniDVD-based format for the Snowtendo GameShpere, then to standard DVD-sized discs for the Vii); handhelds in the Waddle Boy line, however, continued to use the Game Pak. It was discontinued in 2001 in The Dojo and in 2002 for The Tallest Mountain and the rest of Club Penguin, by the launch of the Game
