God, Shuhei Yoshida has brought us Robo Nintendo, huh? In the last episode From Maxx Maxx Podcast, former PlayStation CEO began to remind himself of the early days of his time in Sony, remembering the time when he had to play the first company for Fabled 'Snes PlayStation'-Ekk-ROM, which has never seen the light from the day.
We are sure you already know the story, but briefly, Nintendo agreed to work with Sony on the spread of SNES, but Big N secretly went behind a partner back and announced his intentions to work with Phillips just a few moments before Sony would discover the console . Talk about the drama, right?
Before the well -known double crossing could have happened, Sony worked at playing games. The first of them, he remembers Yoshida, was a space shooter similar to the vein as Sega CD Shmup Spik. According to the former PlayStation Exec, the game was “almost completed” and boasted “richer graphics than the standard of the time” thanks to the assets that were flowing with a CD.
Unfortunately, Yoshida cannot remember the title of a game or his development team (even if he is developed in the United States or Japan), although he said he “would not be surprised” if there is still a copy in the Sony archive. Come on, Sony, look at?
As he pointed out Gameranx,, Vgensets managed to provide even more specifications on Bluesky, stating that yoshida description matched “Strong [/Forteza]Shmup produced by Epic Sony and (Co-?) Developed in System Sacom “. It's a vague shout, we'll admit, but the descriptions are sure to match.
According to the Forum post divided by VGDensets's Tumblr In 2018, Forteses was set up as “exclusive to CD SNES and be a potential package”, praising “FMV background with covered graphics based on sprinkles.” The original poster on the forum claimed that he was following the video of the game, although the post has been deleted since then, so it is unclear if the tape has ever been detected.
Fortesssa or not, there is something pretty cool when you hear the former executor. Talk about finding “Snes Playstation” for Spin – How many people can claim they did?
For the 30th anniversary of PlayStation last year, former Sony CEO Shawn Layden talked Eurogamer About a collaboration that has never been, describing the double crossing while Nintendo leaves Sony's Ken Kutaragi, “proverbially standing on the altar with his optical disco drive in his hands.”
Prototype Snes Playstation was found in Wild 2015, which is assumed to be the last one. The hardware was repaired and continued to sell with a huge price of years later. If Sony could only check the archives, maybe the buyer would have something to play about that damn thing!
