One of the ways the Pippin stood out from its competitors was that its game discs weren't region specific. You could buy a game in Japan and play it on your Pippin in the US, which was a big deal at the time.

Indeed, when I was growing up in England, I had an N64, and I was very upset that my family in the US couldn't send me game cartridges from the US, some of which were released before their European counterparts. They just wouldn't work on my European N64 model.

The Pippin was also compatible with both the PAL and NTSC television standards, which meant you could connect it to pretty much any TV in the world. It even had a VGA port if you wanted to plug it into a computer monitor.
