Squaresoft tried to convince Nintendo to use CDs for the N64
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
As many gamers know, back in the day, Nintendo went with cartridges for the N64 as its media format. In many ways, this ended up doing quite a bit of damage. That was especially so given that PlayStation ended up using CDs.
Why was this a big deal? For one thing, CDs had the ability to hold more data compared to the N64. They were also becoming the more popular medium at the time and were cheaper to produce. Nintendo’s decision also led to some struggles with third-parties including Squaresoft, which ended up moving Final Fantasy to the PlayStation.

Omega 6: The Triangle Stars is not too far away from its English launch on Nintendo Switch, but now we have some news about the manga as well.

Lovecraft’s The Colour Out of Space) is handling the translation.

Zelda: A Link to the Past dev got “PTSD or something” from debugging and testing phase
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past left an indelible memory on former Nintendo designer Takaya Imamura, but perhaps not in the way that he would have wanted.
Imamura was reflecting on his work in the latest issue of EDGE. Halfway through the project, Nintendo called him in to work on the game and make bosses. That wasn’t his only role though as he was extensively involved with the testing phase. This is a bit of a shame as he was hoping to experience the game as a player.
