Wow. Hadn't heard that one before.

The name change was probably a last minute decision done for marketing purposes only (some sources told the name wasn't easy to pronounce in particular by Japanese people and since Nintendo wanted to use the same name in every market they changed it) since the system seems to be still referred as Ultra 64 inside Nintendo. This could be clearly seen if you look at the model numbers: they all begin with the word NUS (the system is referred as NUS-001, the joypad as NUS-005 and so on). I suppose NUS means Nintendo Ultra Sixtyfour!

I doubt the S in NUS stands for Sixtyfour. I'd bet it stands for System, much like NES.

Computer Aided Drafting. The fancy computer stuff engineers use instead of rulers and paper and stuff.

"Computer Aided Design" to be precise, but yeah you're right otherwise. 3D stuff often.
