| Miyamotoo said: Very interesting read, so just that unfinished hardware and cartridge limitations made big problems for Square Enix support, but Nintendo has terrible communication with SQ, it seems that back than Nintendo treated partners who made games for their platforms more like slaves than like partners. Yamauchi was really hard man, he sounded like he was Yakuza. :) Also, it's crazy how much Nintendo decision to stick to cartridges changed gaming industry, and made Nintendo from that time constantly have much weaker 3rd party support than competition. |
I think they had such a negative experience with trying to develop a CD based console with Sony and Philips, that they just kept with what they were familiar with. Also, of course there are other factors that made them choose that format.
