Soundwave said: 64DD was a huge mistake. They could've still salvaged that gen had they ditched that and went for a CD-ROM add-on. |
They got scarred twice in a row with CDs, I can understand why they didn't want to get burned a third time. Besides, time was running out, had they made a new deal for CDs it would have delayed the N64 even further. Releasing a CD update didn't work out well for the Megadrive/Genesis, but the Famicom DD did fine in Japan, so that was a natural choice for an upgrade for Nintendo back then. Too bad that one failed, too. Nintendo really had no luck with formats back then.
