Nintendo with discs huh? Well there is one thing that is probably worth pointing out then.
During the NX rumor mill, I heard quite frequently that a possible boost to the device either using cartridges, or being digital only during that brief period that rumor was about, is that disc reading eats up a sizeable part of the console's interior space.
Assuming a similar designed system size wise, that would mean that the 64 would have had less space inside of it to devote to other things, like power.
The 64 was considered the strongest system during the Gen 5 wars. Taking a disc could easily have left the thing weaker than it was in real life, which would have affected the quality of the 1st party titles.
Add in Sony being in general being more socially able, and the 64 would probably have sold more, but in the end games like Ocarina and Star Fox would probably be weaker than they were in our timeline.
The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
