I had a dream two nights ago that told me to make this. Anyways, I thought it would make for a decent topic. Ok, imagine, Nintendo and Sony are fresh in their relationship, and having released the PlayStation for the SNES a few years ago, it's time to jump into the next generation. And, their competitor, Sega, has just released that, after the 32X peripheral, they are planning to release a 64-bit CD-based console with the help of NEC. Now, it's Nintendo's and Sony's turn to get to action to make up for the 16-bit era. Aside from the obvious ones like FF7, what kind of games would this see, and how do you think this console would fare? Do you think OOT would sell as well as it did for real? Also, how would the GameStation 128 shape up to be? Write out a history for something that never was.
Keep in mind, this console has the same specs as the 64, but with just a way larger disc space. Also, the horrid Virtual Boy was never made nor conceived, and Gunpei Yokoi is hard at work on the Game Boy Colour's design, or something. Oh yes, and the CD-i was brutally murdered and the god-awful Zeldas ceased to exist. Or, for fun, we could say that Philips was shocked by the cut off, and went to work with Sega instead of NEC.
(BTW, yes, I made that image. :p)
