 Playtendo has a Japanese VRS unit, but couldn't get the game to recognize it. Perhaps one can force it to be recognized somehow? Regardless, is there a way to know if the game would do anything if it did recognize the unit?

-On December 12th, 1998, Nintendo released a short-lived accessory for the N64 called the VRS (Voice Recognition System). Two years later, on November 6th, 2000 it was also released in America as the VRU (Voice Recognition Unit). To paraphrase from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_64_accessories#VRU_(NUS-020,_NUS-021,_NUS-022_and_NUS-025) Wikipedia]:

To paraphrase from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_64_accessories#VRU_(NUS-020,_NUS-021,_NUS-022_and_NUS-025) Wikipedia]:
 <blockquote>The VRU had only two compatible games: ''Hey You, Pikachu!'' and ''Densha de Go! 64''. A VRU was included with every factory package of ''Hey You, Pikachu!'', because it was required to play the game. ''Densha de Go! 64'' did not require the VRU, so they were sold separately.
