| KungKras said: If Sega released a console that was reasonably priced and easy to program for and made true Sonic games for it, and if Nintendo had used optical media and realized how valuable squaresoft were to them, Sony would not have been able to moneyhat because the other two would have bigger install bases and third parties would have been forced to go where the customers were. Also, if Nintendo would have actually made a true Mario game as a launch title, it would have rocketed the N64 into first place in no time, and third parties would be forced to support the market leader. I still like cartridges better than optical meda though :< |
By a true Mario game, many would consider Mario 64 to be worthy for such a task, and it was a release title.
Are you referring to a true successor to Super Mario Bros/World? Keeping the 2D control and making it sidescrolling like NSMB/NSMB Wii has done recently?
Yes, think a Sonic game was what many people were waiting for before buying a Saturn, but that never came. I'm willing to bet that the majority who jumped the Sega ship went to the Playstation and not Nintendo (Sony and Sega had a similar strategy of appealing to the more mature audience).
