In 1996, Nintendo brought out their 64-bit cartridge based system. It included a control pad with an analog stick, directional pad, trigger button and slot in the bottom to fit several peripherals. The control pak allowed gamers to save their progress when they were unable to do so using the cartridge game itself. The rumble pak let gamers feel & experience the games.
This is the last and most robust cartridge system available on the market, thus, it makes it great for small children who are just getting into video games, but may not be ready to handle those discs just yet. However, since Nintendo is now on to more powerful systems (i.e. Nintendo Wii), it will be hard to find brand new (unless there is a collector selling one for big bucks!), so your best bet is to hunt down a used one.
