Obscure Vidya History
Post obscure vidya history that only (You) seem to remember.
>Devil May Cry was originally going to be an Resident Evil spin-off, but Capcom decided to make it its own series instead.
>Nintendo unknowingly created one of its biggest rivals.
>In the mid-90s Nintendo partnered with Sony to create a CD add on for the SNES, similar to the Sega CD and Genesis. Before the official announcement, Nintendo said “just kidding, we’re partnering with Philips on a CD add on….”
>This enraged Sony and eventually used the technology to create the PlayStation and the rest is history.
>Nintendo’s partnership with Philips was a disaster and a CD add on was never created. Instead, Philips used the technology to create the CD-I console. Through this partnership, Philips got the license to create games based on Nintendo IP, including Mario and Link/Zelda. These CD-I titles are generally considered collector’s items, so snag them up if you see them.
