Imagine the repercussions if this had indeed released for the SNES instead of the N64.
What would the N64's Mario game have been? How much longer would Nintendo have supported the SNES? Would the N64's launch have been delayed due to renewed SNES interest? Or would this have generated interest in the N64, considering the degree of complexity in this game and the obvious vast advantage the N64 had over the SNES? Would we have seen more advanced releases on the N64, or would Nintendo have turned out even cockier?
This single game, and the simple decision of which console to release it for has incredible influence over the entire rest of the gaming industry. Funny how that decision's mentioned practically in passing, in the end.
