Nintendo never embraced their OG 80s demographic growing up. Optical was the future and the prices they were charging more than 30 years ago for some SNES games were more than the price of games TODAY. Simple Greed.

Some other interesting tidbits.

"Sony and Phillips jointly created the CD-ROM format, everybody else like Sanyo, Matsushyta, Goldstar and so on all had to go through Sony and/or Phillips for licensing and what not.

Nintendo burned bridges with Sony by announcing at CES they were ditching them for Phillips, then Nintendo burned another bridge to Phillips for backing out of their contract with them.

Therefore Nintendo couldn’t get a CD drive even if they wanted to."


Also

One part of the story that doesn't get told as much is that after being rejected by Nintendo, Sony actually went to Sega and pitched the idea of making a console together. Sega of Japan rejected them as well, and thus the PlayStation project got the green light at Sony. Sega of America CEO called that the "stupidest decision (that Sega made) in the history of business".





Nintendo rejected Sony, then Sega rejected Sony. The rest is history.

Nintendo are the kings of fleece. Glad I bushed them nikkaz. 90 dollars for Street Fighter in the early 90s. Disgusting company.

Now they about to charge nikkaz 400 dollars for a Switch 2 with the power of a 10 year old PS4. They have no shame.

Bush them nikkaz AB!!!! :damn:

Mario and Zelda wasn't enough for me after '95. Had to Old Yeller them nikkaz.

I needed

Madden
NBA Live
Tekken
Metal Gear Solid
Square Games (Final Fantasy 7, Parasite Eves)
Street Fighter never touched the N64.

And the games were more expensive.

Sorry, but had to move on. CD Player/Game system all in one.

Had to move on and Woody them nikkaz fam.

What Nintendo did in the past doesn't permanently excuse their fukk ups later.

Playstation only exist because of nintendo’s terrible business decisions.

Yes...
Which is why I don't get. How people are so happy.
to have an inferior gaming experience.

I played tekken in the arcade.
It looked like bullshyt mush.
Yet when that combo breaker dropped. In the arcade it crushed the buildings. So Nintendo went the other top selling route. As far as fighting games in that era.


Only mistake Nintendo made all time. Was letting Capcom go in that whole shyt. That was a mistake. That is the only company.
Nintendo lost worth a damn.

Past that.


NBA live = best port was snes.
Madden = best port on snes

Madden 64 = any port of Madden damn near today.
Gsmecube port of NBA live 04 > any live and 2k, port....except live x's new play controls.

Truck stick, and and all that shyt. Were in Nintendo ports. As actual control dedicated buttons.
As well as later using the analog control stick.


NBA live 04 on gamecube had two dedicated crossover buttons. Like kobe Bryant basketball.

Kobe Bryant basketball on n64 had a dedicated post feed buttons. As well as defensive assignment button. Sohh you were never out of a play. Unlike playstation live.
That featured none of that.

As well as the game stick control. The dedicated buttons crush game stick.

Madden 64 = truck stick and all that were dedicated buttons. Not some mysterious phantom control stick option.

Was better than Madden on ice for the Playstation. Where the players ran like they were Brian boitano on ice. That Sega football almost bodied playstation. With old ass football on snes play controls.
Street fighter alphas was on the snes.

Ypu just wanted to keep on being the cool kid. With the new console. Which you needed company.
All because your epic gaming experience was lacking.
Sohh course you spammed inferior ports of sports and fighting games. As you had no Mario or link to play.


Whereas I could just turn on my nes, snes and n64. I had to hustle to buy myself as kid.

. That still worked in 2001 to this day.

. After i turned off young Tony Parker.
cart Gary Payton out to the pasture in the playoffs.

Like two decades later.



Mike Tyson punch out was still the best sporting game ever.

Sony games were so remedial. I would go over people house with Playstation.
To eventually own the entire hood. On NBA live as the best in rhe hood easy.

When I hate NBA live BTW.
I hate most wa games. That is another topic tho. Yet Nintendo do ports are the quality wa games. Regardless of Playstation .
or even Genesis fanboy's misguided adulation.
.
I was rich off gambling on live 04 to live 06 with no Playstation. Beating nikkaz who own the console and game. It was not till like 2007. Did I get a game cube. Then found out the gamecube port was superior.
in every possible way to the Playstation joint.


If I want to gangbang on grand theft.

I can play that shyt on my windows lumia right now.
Where every phone.
that just came out is a windows lumia.

That is how I know to choose superior shyt from Nintendo.

This is just like cellphones.
My windows phone was higher quality.
than any Sony or Apple phone. Same as Nintendo.
Why would I switch to sony for only one game. That I own on an old ass lumia phone in grand theft.
Or if I wanna pop somebody online. I can just go play six guns = red dead redemption

Again on an old ass lumia icon phone right now.

You got better graphics on those systems. Yet got Sega master system meets trash genesis port level low quality execution in games tho.
In 2025 tho.

this is the handheld yall told me was competition for Nintendo :francis:


It is a niche handheld for gaming enthusiasts that you need some advanced technical knowledge in order to unlock it's full potential. Most people ain't trying to do all that

It was never going to compete with Nintendo in sales

Doesn't mean it's not an amazing device
