Nintendo banned Square from their offices for 10 years after FFVII went to PlayStation. EDIT: japanese business model is akin to Yakuza

I feel it’s being forgotten that it wasn’t just Square that abandoned Nintendo. Namco, Konami, and Capcom also notoriously heavily supported the PS1 either completely or overwhelmingly.

In the end, Nintendo’s stubbornness cost them more than just Square.
