The SNES CD Is Coming Back? Nintendo's Lost Console Returns

[@shinigamiauthor]

if theres one word Nintendo loves more than "Lawyer" its "Proprietary"

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

It’s a meee…a lawsuit!

[@LeftyPem]

Which is why they should have hooked up with Sony. They love proprietary tech too!

[@Norweeg]

@@LeftyPemI feel like proprietary tech started to swap with Sony and Microsoft around the 360 and PS3. Sony stuck with Bluetooth while Microsoft held onto proprietary wireless for 2 generations. With the current gen consoles, I was able to use an off the shelf NVMe drive for my PS5 while Microsoft is using their own proprietary storage.

[@SuperEarther]

the creators should call it something not related to nintendo but most of the time nintendo only goes for people who go for current gen

I reckon Alejandro should be taking notes and drawings on how to make an actual board for his supersega!

[@JonKildeus]

I have a very critical piece of game preservation relating to SNES CD-ROM that I would like to share. I have industry confirmation (Microprocessor Report, early 90’s) that the CPU of the 32-bit Super Nintendo CD-ROM was the NEC V810 processor- the same processor used in Virtual Boy, Nintendo Game Processor, and NEC PC-FX. This project relates to the Sony 16-bit CD-ROM which didn’t extend the SNES base capabilities in any way. The 32-bit Philips SNES CD used a Super DISC System Cartridge that had 32-bit coprocessor along w/ more RAM. The CPU was NEC V810 that can now be confirmed in fact by industry sources. Whats’s exciting is this 32-bit capability can be added to this project or in FPGA cartridge that can be used by anyone’ SNES to experience 32-bit SNES CD-ROM hacked games. Please respond w/ an email and I will gladly share the excellent detailed sources. I strongly encourage anyone to make a video about the re-discovery of NEC V810 as the long lost 32 SNES CD-ROM CPU for the sake of game preservation. Thank you.

Secret of Mana Director's Cut is kinda pointless now. That cut contents from that game was actually used to make another game. You're basically going to just play the same games twice if that happens.

[@rolux4853]

@@VOANwhich game is that?

[@uVSthem]

@@VOAN I didn't know that. What game was it used in?

[@2soulzkilluminati135]

Chrono trigger and also it's quite not accurate. Secret of mana never existed because it was supposed to be a whole new RPG made by Masato Kato with others helping including Toriyama. But because the Snes cd version was cancelled, this RPG had to be cancelled as well so they split the game into two games. One is secret of mana and the other is chrino trigger so basically before chrono trigger there was "chrono trigger CD" and chrono trigger was also almost cancelled so Hōri and Sakaguchi including Toriyama helped. So chrono trigger was saved from being an unreleased RPG game. Secret of mana was likely done by the mana creators.​@@uVSthem

[@simon41978]

The abandoned SFC CD-ROM was a huge blow. Game prices got crazy in the UK due to the price of ROM chips. They started around £40 and by the time Street Fighter II Turbo and Super Mario Collection arrived, import stores were charging £90 per game. CD's would have stopped that plus imagine a Castlevania CD game. Maybe a port of Chi No Rondo.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Yes I’m sure a lot of Nintendo’s reasoning back then was to get prices down for consumers as their cut was the same if not better on cheaper media to sell

[@sjake8308]

Part of that is grey importers getting greedy because they had consumers over a barrel: We didn't have anywhere else to go in those days, so they could charge whatever they liked.

[@emmettturner9452]

That CD-ROM looks really familiar… like a CDI-220. The CD-i 220 was also the first thing I thought of when I saw the board laid out in segments like that.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

It may very well exist in some Sony product out there. Odds are it was either borrowed from an existing product and slightly changed for SNES CD or they used the design IN something after SNES CD was cancelled

[@inceptional]

The thing I wish though, which is never gonna happen, is that it would also incorporate all the extra stuff from some of the later SNES CD versions that were at least talked and written about back in the day, such as having a 32-bit CPU running at 21.477 MHz, FX chip incorporated, 16.7 million colours, etc.

[@simon41978]

They could fix that slow CPU. I've debated with you many times but actually agree now that Mega Drive was better overall hardware. Also, the resolution of SNES and the stretch which ruins the artwork makes no sense.

[@inceptional]

@simon41978 I don't agree with you at all. It completely depends on what you're wanting to do with the system. And the stretch on SNES and squash on genesis only exists if you're ignorant about modern systems and emulators that let you play all these games in perfect pixel mode with zero stretch or squash in current times. So you might wanna read up on that.

[@Izquierda]

If this had optical audio output not just for CD audio but from the SNES as well it would be a really compelling original console replacement.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

I’m not sure what the final port config would be. Probably accurate to the prototype I’d assume

[@labnine3362]

Many aspects of the original design language were surprisingly featured on the OG Playstation: the Super NES controller button/d-pad layout plus the general design of the connector and the reset/power buttons. The Panasonic development kit looks like a Sun Sparc computer from that era. Really cool. Most people I know didn't even have a CD rom on their PC at that time.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

I remember getting my first cd-rom drive. Felt like magic

[@anthonybird546]

That is so cool. I remember being a kid and reading Nintendo Power where it was hyping up the upcoming SNES and they mentioned a CD-ROM peripheral coming. I had a friend that had a Turbografix CD and we thought that was cool as shit, so we were excited to see what they were going to come up with.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

It is interesting to think how close we got to an alt SNES history

[@Kadamose]

Nintendo probably cancelled their cd projects after coming to the realization that they would no longer be able to charge ridiculous licensing fees. They also did not want to pay royalties. (I remember reading somewhere that Sony wanted 30% of every game sold to use their tech - which is what Valve currently charges to use Steam).

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Yes it all came down to money and you know how Nintendo is

[@Cyrus_Nagisa]

funny about that, was not Nintendo, but Sony trying to be real greedy, Nintendo did not read the contract very well before the agreement, once they found out Sony would hold most of the rights to the deal, Nintendo backed out.

[@Kadamose]

@@Cyrus_Nagisa It wasn't a bad deal, really. Sony would have had to cough up the money and resources for the hardware, which they would be entirely on the hook for. Nintendo was just being the cheap dbags they've always been.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Well someone should have maybe read the agreement haha

[@simon41978]

It was all set-up beforehand. It's not real business. It's scripted theatre. Sony enter the market and dominate for a while. Sega shoot themselves in the foot deliberately. Sega couldn't compete with Sony anyway financially. Now, we have Nintendo back in front. There are no mistakes.

[@knghtbrd]

I would be more interested in FPGA so that chips didn't need to be harvested from old devices, but I guess you've gotta crawl before you can run, and this is one helluva learning to crawl moment if they can pull it off.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Haha yes it will take time. If this gets finished I bet you see it in FPGA too

[@knghtbrd]

@@VideoGameEsoterica Of a certainty, in time. It's just that I've seen so many e.g. VIC-20s gutted for the chip needed to make a modern VIC-20 from modern parts. Stuff like that hurts to see happening when those chips could be recreated today.

[@kwill691]

This "Nintendo PlayStation" was the combination hardware that Sony would've made/sold as a premium device along side the add-on hardware Nintendo would've made/sold for the Super Famicom. Think of like how the Sharp Twin Famicom was sold along side the Disk System for the Nintendo Family Computer (Famicom) in Japan.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

In the end the functionality was always planned to be the same so that makes projects like this easier thankfully

I never saw what an M2 looked like, but I did read just a blurb about how 3DO was considering the M2, however I think that was around early '96 and then it was later that same year, they discontinued the 3DO and just went full software.

How exactly will he able to source the proprietary chips? You can’t simply just recycle them when prototypes have long dried up within electronic landfills after being disposed of if not of course, in the hands of collectors.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

The chips are just transmitting data from the drive assembly into the SNES. You could use modern parts in their place and work around it. You are just dealing with controller chips really. Think of it like any disc drive for your pc…they all have diff chips depending on brand and yet they all do the same thing. Since SNES CD doesn’t increase the SNES performance there’s no customs that should present a problem

As much as I loved the Sega CD (in particular Lunar) I really feel like a large portion of the SNES charm comes from the sound profile. The same could be said for Sega Genesis, I'm sure-- but the fact that SNES was sample based made a huge difference in its ability to capture more 'cinematic' feeling soundtracks. I think what I'm trying to say is that SNES has slightly less to gain from a CD attachment than the Genesis. On the other hand, being able to do cutscenes would be something and the Super Mario CD project is a cool idea.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Yes had it happened many games would sound completely different than we know

[@rsmith02]

Feeding the SPC higher data rate audio would have been epic though.

[@johndough8115]

The Sample based music, is what made every Snes game some almost exactly the same... Bad, Flat, and Boring. The Sega's FM Synth, has music and sound effects, that Destroy anything that the Snes ever put out... and the Sega could produce all of them with a Fraction of the memory. FM Synths are Superior, to Samples... but... if you have plenty of Memory to work with (CDs) ... then you can simply take very high quality samples of FM Synth sounds. This is where a CD add on, would have potentially given the SNES a great addition to its games... rather than having those Generic PC Midi sounding trash. The biggest issue with FM Synths... is in the serious difficulty ramp, in learning how to Program them. This is why most of the non Japanese created games for the Genesis, sound awful. Yet, games like Thunderforce II... has the most EPIC sound track, and EPIC sound effects, ever to be put into a game. The Sega CD was pretty much useless... because Sega really didnt put out any decent, and "unique" games for it. Nothing worth buying the expensive CD for... which is why it quickly died out. I bought a used CDX much later in life... merely for trying out Lunar. None of the DEVs wanted to invest their time and energy, into something Epic... and most of the stuff that was released, was more like a Tech Demo, than being noteworthy / revolutionary. As far as Mario goes... it never needed Cut Scenes. Cut Scene's exponentially increase development costs, due to how much more work is required to make them... and in many cases, they dont add much to a game.. often being skipped by the player, due to how they annoyingly disrupt your gaming action. The only place where live video really shined, was in the old Arcade Laserdisc games... Like Dragons Lair, Space Ace, and something like Mach 3... which used real (and quite cool) Ariel Footage. But of course, the gameplay with laserdisc games, was quite poor / limited. Still, it was a total Revolution... to see something like Pacman, next to a machine that was playing Dragons Lair... with amazing hand drawn animations, and with full CD quality sounds. Also, comparing something like the background graphics of Raiden... to Mach 3, was also pretty insane... for that time period (Even though, Raiden was still the better playing game). So, all in all... one of the biggest improvements to games that CD drives COULD make... would typically be in the form of Higher Quality Music, more animation frames, and potentially in much Larger and more Complex levels. But because a lot of companies wanted to maintain backwards compatibility with Cartridge based games... a lot of times... it seemed like they often Knee-Capped their potentials. That said, developing more graphics, also meant higher costs, and longer development time... too.

[@desktorp]

@@johndough8115 bro I'm not here to argue with some chiphead fanboy about the pros and cons of FM vs PCM. That was not the point of my comment at all so please just drop it. I owned both systems and both sound synthesis methods have their good and bad points. A sample heavy soundtrack like Earthbound simply would not have had any of its character if it had been limited to FM. It's a totally different style. The topic is not as simple as "Muh FM better!" and it's obvious that if they had CD audio for say, Final Fantasy 6, it would've ended up with similar production methods as Lunar, which wouldn't sound bad per se, but wouldn't sound the same and likely would've been put produced mostly with some ROMpler workstation of that era, losing basically all of its character. I doubt that very many people who grew up playing FF6 or Chrono Trigger would prefer to listen to a real orchestra play that soundtrack, nor would they prefer a Genesis port of the game. It's the specific limitations of BOTH systems that gave these experiences their unique character. I didn't say Mario needed cutscenes. You're just having a separate conversation in your head. I said the SNES would have used the CD addon for cutscenes. You think Squaresoft wouldn'tve done cutscenes in their games? My reference to the Super Mario CD fan project that is being made had nothing to do with my comment about cutscenes. Please take a break from the internet and don't reply to me again.
