So I'm sitting here, playing Elder Scrolls, and this God awful image comes across my Twitter. It's supposedly a prototype that Sony and Nintendo were working on back in the day when the SNES and SEGA Genesis were Kings of the Hill. If anyone remembers, Nintendo was king of the platformer games back when SNES was the shiznit, but SEGA was putting out some games that were putting a hurt on Nintendo, they were more into Blood and Gore, and arcade style beat em up games and titles that you just would not see on the SNES. Remember Sega does, what Nintendon't....that was the saying back then in the early 90's and it was working too. I'm not going to lie, I loved SEGA, it was ten times better than SNES to me, and I had all three of the Genesis models, loved them all to death. Who wasn't a SEGA and Sonic fan back in the retro days? So Nintendo was getting a bit antsy and decided to try to one up SEGA by going into a dark evil room with Sony and trying to develop the Next Big Thing for gaming. After the prototype was developed I guess Nintendo went cheap on Sony and decided to partner with Phillips instead and we all know what happened some time after that. Nintendo decided CD's were not the way gaming was going and Sony went back into the dark room and started working on their own prototype. In the meantime SEGA went on to create several CD based consoles and after their success that's when Sony put out the Playstation, and they swooped in and took all the credit and their console went straight to the top...and killed my poor Dreamcast, but that's history. We all know that Nintendo and Sony will never own up to this alleged partnership(if they do I would be shocked) but there is nothing wrong with the thought and wonder of what could have been. I do know that part of me thinks this was true and a possibility and art of me thinks that this is a load of crap. I mean if this was really going to happen, someone on Reddit would have come out with these pictures a lot sooner than this...if this was true. This is more than likely a crap console that someone made in their spare time and took pictures of and downloaded onto the Internet just for some fun and ot shots and Sony and Nintendo to stir their blood to a boil. Do I think Sony and Nintendo talked at one time about business, sure do, do I think they ever got far enough to make a prototype, no way. Nintendo was too big back in the day to take advice from anyone, especially a company who though CD's were going to be bigger in the gaming industry then cartridges. I have the pictures below, you decide what you think is real and what is fake. I honestly only rote about this because everyone else and their mother was blogging about it so I said the hell with it...why not lol.
