They have indeed started to make third party expansion paks.
BadChad:
To be honest, I think they've been making them for a while. Ive seen a few 3rd party Expansion Paks in the past that actually looked exactly like the official N64 Expansions Paks but without any Nintendo logos/licensing, and simply had "Expansion Pak" on the front.
Spoonman:
I've never seen them. Asked a guy in an independent game shop near me (he has lots of 3rd party controllers for all systems and memory cards and a 3rd party jumper pak) but he told me there wasn't any 3rd party expansion pak. Otherwise he would order some.
That's weird. Hopefully these will become more common.
BadChad:
Ive never actually seen them on a shelf in a store or anything. But a couple years ago, finding N64's at my Value Village thrift store was like a "once a week" thing. I use to pick them to resell. A few times I noticed some of them had those generic expansions packs I was talking about that looked exactly like official expansions packs minus the Nintendo logo on the front. Im assuming they were 3rd party.

Started? Nah, that garbage has been around since 3 months after the release of the original expansion pak. Were shit then, are shit now.
