However playing devil's advocate for a second, how do we know Nintendo would've treated FF7 the same way Sony did? Sony had a HUGE marketing campaign behind the game, it was everywhere, still one of the most hyped games I can remember and the push paid huge dividends for Sony. I dont see Nintendo investing with that same passion as Sony. |
Rumor has it, Nintendo kept screwing With Squaresoft by limiting them to develop with limited cartridge capacity which strained their relationship while also preventing the release of the Famicon versions of FF II and III and the SuperFamicon version of FFV outside of Japan. They also had a general policy of allowing third party developers to only develop a limited number of titles per year. That's when companies like Konami developed sub city labels like Ultra. Nintendo wasn't a big supporter of competition back in the day.
