It's funny that they made this but then immediately went back to floppy disks (lmfao) next gen

sega did it better

>Yet another 16-bit CD console
Wasn't good the first four times around wouldn't have been good with Nintendo doing it either.

>>8926779
>>8926782
Wait, this article makes it sound like Nintendo first designed the playstation alongside Sony, dropped the project and went to Philips, and then back again to Sony? I've never heard about them going back before

>Wasn't good the first four times around
For you,

The PC Engine CD and 3DO were good

Who. Gives. A. Shit.

>>8926801

>>8926801
The PC Engine CD overtook it's original card-based console as the main system.

>>8926939
Certainly not your dad.

>>8926751
nobody would've bought it

If SNES CD came to market in a timely fashion, it would have succeeded and disrupted the rest of gaming history. Playstation wouldn't have been made and Saturn and N64 would be even competitors like the SNES and Mega Drive.

>>8926751
>The potential
Stop it, we already got this shit with the PS1 ports of SNES games

>>8926751
>>8928414
Do we have a masterlist of those? Or SNES to Saturn, for that matter?

>>8928414
except thats nto true you retard because those are just ports? Fuck me you're dumb

>>8928472
>T-t-those are just ports baka
and they can be played on SNES with MSU-1
any of those Squaresoft games are literally what we would have gotten, as well as some of those games on the Mega CD

>>8926751
Shut the fuck up, it would have been as bad as the sega CD.

>>8928565
So, the same shit with longer loading times. Woah.

>>8928587
correct
also higher quality audio and FMV's

>>8928592
And some garbage low bitrate fmvs like in Chrono Trigger.
now THIS.... is for the players..... all that potential lost like tears in the rain

>>8928598
They look fine when you play at 240p on a CRT but yes
However there is a Roadbuster MSU-1 romhack and it looks, sounds and plays way better than any of the mega CD laser disc games

>>8926801
>CD
That's a pretty big word for someone your age

I feel like any CD versions of classic Nintendo franchises would have been half-baked. Nintendo has generally been pretty weak on multimedia products

It's a good for Nintendo that they didn't. It would have flopped. These console drive attachments had low sales, few games, and pissed off the highest spending customers. It could have even killed Nintendo because they didn't have another successful console after the SNES until the Wii that wasn't a handheld.

>>8926923
>Wait, this article makes it sound like Nintendo first designed the playstation alongside Sony, dropped the project and went to Philips, and then back again to Sony?
Yes

>>8926779
>>8926782
It wouldn't have been so bad if the N64 had been a CD console. The CD add-on was a big success for the PC Engine because it was the first to do it and it was groundbreaking at the time. But it was a bit late for that in 1993 which is why the Sega CD was a flop.

>>8926751
None of the other CD add ons made anything super mind-blowing (Not saying there aren't good games on those platforms, just nothing that couldn't be done on cartridge with slightly worse music)

Nintendo should have gone CD for N64 tho

>>8932217
>None of the other CD add ons made anything super mind-blowing
PC engine would like a word with you

It's cool that we at least get a sort of "what if" for this thing by way of emulation, flash carts and MSU-1 hacks.

:(

>>8926801
It wouldn't be good but that's not the point. The point is PSX wouldn't happen.

Imagine being such an attention seeking child that you'd embarrass yourself posting such ignorance. inb4 the cartridge can be as big as the add on and cost as much.

>>8926932
>The PC Engine CD and 3DO were good

>>8932996
And?

>>8932996
PCECD definitely was. What's the problem?

Thank God the PSX happened... Otherwise we would still be playing primitive Nintendo games

>>8933351
PSX was never great system, mostly a mistake.

>>8928468
Mega Man X3 was the first to come to mind,
and yeah... that could have been better.

>>8928582
>bad
If only you knew, anon

>>8932217
Starblade couldn't be done on a cartridge, it's all FMV but gives the illusion of a really advanced 3D rail shooter. Closest thing is I guess Starfox which is actually 3D but maybe not quite as advanced. Same can be said for Silpheed which uses FMV's for the backgrounds to give the illusion of really huge 3D worlds.

Popful Mail on SEGA CD is also something they could never pull off on the Super Famicom version due to its limited storage space. I guess to be fair something like Terminator or Rondo could've easily been ported to SNES, but then the audio tracks and FMV cutscenes are half the fun of the CD consoles. Thankfully we do have MSU-1 patches now, so we can have or SNES CD, sort of.

>>8926751
I only wish they hadn't skipped the 32-bit console, even without Sony they could've made a really good one, but instead we got the N64. While the GBA is technically 32-bit it's still a far cry from PS1 and Saturn. And we didn't get cool stuff like Yoshi's Island 2 until the DS

>>8933301
so good it got like 10 games ever released before discontinuation

>>8932996
No Excuse

>>8936443
The PCE CD got over 350 games. What are you talking about?

>>8936443
Not him, but it does have a lot of solid titles. Maybe you're confusing it with SuperGrafx or whatever

>>8936443
>If I don't look, it doesn't exist
lol

>>8936550
>>8936618
>>8936630
>b-but it has 350 game- ACK!!
that is a fucking pitiful amount of games for a system, so yes its a HARD flop. Cope and seethe

>>8936443
it was a huge success with hundreds of games and many iconic ones, you are either smoking crack or thinking of the TurboGrafx

>>8936724
>He doesn’t even video games

The SNES CD's performance would have been irrelevant, the most significant thing about it would be Nintendo not coping with cartridges on their real next-gen console and getting cucked by important developers afterwards.
