The NES had an expansion port on the bottom.

The SNES also had an expansion port.

The virtual boy......existed.

The N64 had an expansion port, a ram upgrade, and a controller memory pack.

The gamecube had an expansion port, and a handle.

The Wiimote has a speaker inside, that only 1 game ever used (that I played).

The WiiU had the WiiU gamepad.

The Switch had the IR sensor, and HD rumble.

You must've only played 1 wii game because pretty much every game used that speaker

I'm wondering if a lot used it in minor ways so you forget easily. I remember Brawl would use it when you selected a character, but I may only be remembering because it was a meme on TikTok for a bit. I remember one microgame in Warioware using it when you answered a phone which was funny.

I remember hearing that red steel had a multiplayer mode where your objective was played out of the Wiimote's speaker to keep it secret from other players
