Yup Nintendo dropped the ball on that.

Nerdmaster3335d ago

It's funny how he doesn't say why the deal with Nintendo didn't go forward. It was because it would be Sony who would have control over what would be released for the add-on among other things. It was Sony who was trying to backstab Nintendo. The only error Nintendo made was not paying attention to this specific part of the contract before deciding to start the project.

Delsin_Rowe3334d ago

Bruh, that a lot of nonsense, First Sony didn't backstab Nintendo get that fact straight, second what add-on you talking about since last time i remember they were there just to create a nintendo CD console but never heard more stuff apart from that. Third Nintendo read the contract so i am pretty sure, they just didn't care what Sony do with the project since Nintendo switch ship.

@Delsin_Rowe

Dude, please study a little before trying to correct people...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

"Nintendo signed a deal with Sony to produce a CD-ROM add-on for the SNES"

"Under their agreement, Sony would develop and retain control over the SNES-CD disc format, effectively ceding a large amount of control over software licensing to Sony."

http://www.nintendoworldrep...

"unbeknownst to Nintendo, Sony would be the sole worldwide licenser, giving them the publishing profits from the SNES and SNES CD titles."

techrave3335d ago

Imagine Nintendo and Sony being a team since 1995...that would've been devastating or may be we would've never seen any games from sony? What do you guys think?

DonkeyDoner3335d ago (Edited 3335d ago )

we wont see most of playstation IP today

FarEastOrient3335d ago

The funny thing is... The first Sony developed games were for the Sega CD after the Nintendo betrayal.

plsburydoughboy3335d ago

If the deal pushed through, the PlayStation would not have been a hub for indie developers small and large to thrive in, and the industry would be in a completely different shape and form today. The Nintendo monopoly would have still been in effect, with Sony acting as their field marshall.

I'd been thinking about the possibilities of this deal for some time and I think this is what would have happened. The PlayStation's biggest value wasn't in creating a platform for its own IPs, but breaking apart Nintendo's monopoly.

And you can argue if that never happened, Nintendo would not have ended up in the path to creating the Wii and the DS (Cuz Yamauchi would not have given his job to Iwata if he stayed dominant).

Delsin_Rowe3334d ago

Without PlayStation, Xbox wouldn't never existed.

ArnoDorian3334d ago

2 things
1. That disagree tho
2. There would be No PS2

chrissx3335d ago

I think its a blessing that nintendo dropped the early deal with sony if not playstation world wouldn't have existed

italiangamer3335d ago

Gaming as we know today wouldnt have existed.

SpinalRemains1383335d ago

It would I believe.

Someone would have scooped up the ball and brought forward a new media and more adult games.

Maybe we'd have an Apple or a Google console to match the Xbox.

Nintendo would still be catering to kids mostly, but the market for more violent adult games will always thrive.

jreeves823335d ago

I already knew all ten of these.

Tross3335d ago

I knew most of these. I did not know the facts about the PS2 though. I had no idea the Iraqis tried to build a supercomputer with them(though I did know about the US military doing that with PS3s). I also had no idea that games on my PS2 memory card affected the towers in the startup screen. I didn't know that the Souls games inspired any features for the PS4. I knew everything else though.

God of War Needs to Redefine Kratos' Purpose Clearly and Quickly

Whatever form the next God of War game takes, it needs to be clear about what role Kratos is playing, lest the franchise lose direction.

I'm pretty sure it'd be a major mistake having Atreus as the main character in the next GoW. Seems to me like at best people tolerate him and his gameplay sections.

Ideally the story for the next game would be that Atreus has gone missing in Egypt, Kratos gets mad about it, picks up Mimir and goes on a god killing rampage.

Mad_Matt2h ago

If that is an option for the dev team then they need to make it a clean slate. No Atreus, No Mimir. That's what happened when he changed pantheons before. Lets Kratos be in that world. But it will be a difficult task to complete. Kratos and his past demons are getting a bit redundant as far as story telling goes.

Nacho_Z1h ago

Yeah there's not a lot of meat left on the bone story wise. Personally I'd happily accept any goofy reason they could come up with for why Kratos is in Egypt chopping off heads. I'm personally not that bothered about the finer points of the storytelling, although they do it well.

Why The Mass Effect Series Is Still The Best Western RPG Trilogy

The Mass Effect trilogy shines as one of the only Western RPGs to give an immersive and unforgettable experience.

Terry_B1d 8h ago

Your Opinion is wrong. (Witcher ftw)

Sonic18811d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

The Witcher trilogy is my favorite but I know everything is subjective.

thorstein1d 4h ago

Balder's Gate trilogy is the best.

shinoff21837h ago

There's much better wrpg series. Mass effect dumbed down after the first one. Seemed a but different going from the 1st to the second, not in a good way.

Knightofelemia5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

My favorite trilogy will be the Ar Tonelico trilogy, Xenosaga trilogy followed by the ME trilogy.

Nittdarko5h ago

How can it be the best trilogy when the 3rd one is terrible and the only thing it had going for it was the multiplayer?
Considering all 3 witcher games are better
Considering all 3 Dragon age games are better
Considering all 3 Baldur's gate games are better

Weird choice

ChasterMies1h ago

Witcher 1 looks like ass. Until we see a transfer, there is no getting around it.

Are Dragon Age games and Baldur’s Gate games a continuation of the same story or at least the same character? Even still, need some connection to make a trilogy. Lord of the Rings is a trilogy. Star Wars is a trilogy. James Bond 1-3 is not a trilogy. It’s just more movies with James Bond.
