it is because of a chemical that is mixed in the plastic to be not flamable. if it reacts with sunlight it turns yellow. it's not an only nintendo phenomenon. all item made with this chemical turns yellow sooner or later. I think thats why the industry is producing most plastic in black now so the problem is solved.

+GeoNeilUK The mistake that Nintendo made was going with Philips and licensing the Zelda franchise for them to butcher. it's a good thing philips went away rather quietly with their CD-i. can you imagine zelda licensed to sony?!

[@GeoNeilUK]

Dudamara Dudama The Zelda licence was the sweetener for Nintendo's deal with Philips going sour. I don't know exactly what the Philips deal with Nintwndo was going to be, but if it went ahead, the CD-i wouldn't have existed as it did. With the proposed Sony PlayStation, Nintendo would still have made Mario 64 for the Sony add-on (probably called Mario CD) but Sony would have made all the money from it. As for the CD-i Zelda games? Well, they kind of summed up the CD-i didn't they?Though I guess Philips had more of a clue than Commodore, who released the CDTV (bascially an Amiga 2000 minus the hard drive but with an added CD ROM drive) and instructed every single dealer *NOT* to sell it as an Amiga. I can;t comment on the States as the Amiga wasn't very popular over there anyway, but it would have been easy money in Europe where the Amiga was challenging Sega and Nintendo.

[@DerPafferfish]

+GeoNeilUK I wouldn't really say that Sony got the last laugh. Nintendo is financially healthier by far and dominate the handheld market that Sony has only had mediocre success in at best.

[@stevekovoc3939]

Eric Wood Yeah, I kinda figured. I was just kinda curious about that.

[@timcrouch2415]

+Eric Wood Sadly, trying to create homebrew CD games for it with nothing but the hardware would be pretty much impossible. Existing systems that have a homebrew community were typically well-understood through the acquisition of official development kits (of which the Nintendo Playstation has none found), developers who did professional development for the console (again, none here) or outright support from the console manufacturer (not holding my breath). A developer unfortunately wouldn't even know where to begin with this thing. We don't even know what hardware is in there, and I doubt the owner is going to be breaking it open anytime soon. The only tiny glimmer of hope is that there is probably a 1 in a million chance a dev kit and SDK documentation could be found in someone's attic. So, sad as it may be, I guess we will have to be satisfied with the boot-up screen.

[@pearlmax]

+Eric Wood No, what's neat is the splash screen and messages, or anything else that is exclusive to THIS console. There's nothing "neat" about Super Nintendo games running. If you're that easily amused, go buy an SNES for $20 and be amazed until your heart's content.

Yes it is probably the only known one.

Physical value would be very low but I wouldn't be surprised to see this fetch in excess of $100,000 in auction. This ofc will only have that sort of value to the most hardcore of collectors. If a rare nes game can sell for $99K then a console that shouldn't really exist could fetch stupid money.

And after seeing people play old games, and have fun.. i can't help but think "What is the damn point of constantly making graphics more realistic?" I'm a retro gamer, i like old games.. i rarely play a new game and go "oh god, i'm having so much fun!" but every time i boot up my super Nintendo, or my Sega Saturn... or my NES.. i start playing a game and i always find myself going "oh god, i'm having such a blast!!".

[@pinmike8666]

Absolutely insane price they got it for; $75 for this historical treasure! If I were them, I'd give my asking price at $500,000 minimum; it's a prototype of an eventual gaming dynasty! I'm conflicted that Nintendo abandoned the project; on one hand, they would have been involved in the Sony dynasty, on the other, Nintendo is not credited for this console despite the SNES architecture remaining. I think Nintendo might have went with the right decision to just create their own consoles, despite Sony outselling their future consoles (sans Wii) as they still have their name on their consoles.

Just look up "Nintendo Prototype" and you'll find some of the coolest things. Sure that thing could be sold that much, if it wasn't so obscure. For example, NWC (Nintendo World Championship) is the 4th rarest video game in the world, and it sells at auctions for around $100,000 while the rarest game in the world, Campus Challenge, only sold for $21,000. Why? because EVERYBODY knows what NWC is, but I'm sure most of you who are reading this had to look up what Campus Challenge is. A price on collector's items is depended on 3 things: Rarity, Condition, and the market for it (A.K.A. how obscure is it). I'd say this thing at an auction would go for $7,000-$15,000. But hey, maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.

[@dracomenda2]

+Noah sixtyfour it is the ONLY piece in history that was made by 2 companies who have been trying to kill each other since their inception. Before there ever was an xbox vs sony it was nintendo vs sony. and i remember it well.

[@Noahsixtyfour]

Chris Shinsky and your point is? Someone could easily say, "They can sell that for million dollars!" But will it actually SELL for a million dollars? As stated before, there are TONS of cool collectible video game memorabilia, but nothing to date is even close to worth a million dollars. I'm not saying this isn't cool. I would love to own this thing and wouldn't mind paying a couple grand for it, but the thing is not in the best shape, the plastic has yellowed, there doesn't seem to be anything else special about it, no prototype games or anything, just the console and a controller. And the fact that it plays super famicom games doesn't really make it special at all. Gamecube prototypes (Nintendo dolphin system) has only a few selected found but MANY prototype controllers and prototype games, making it much more interesting than this in my opinion, feel free to look it up, it's worth your time, trust me, it's pretty cool. If the people who owned this thing were smart, they would let an expert open up the thing and look at the circuit board and how everything works. This would let us have a better understanding in how far this prototype actually went in production. Because without any disk based games, we can literally call this thing a modified Super Famicom. But, if we were to find that the disk drive were connected to the circuit board, or find the way that this was built (how much ram, if there is any form of wireless communication, etc.) it would add to the history and maybe even drive up the value. And people act like this is one of a kind. The story the guy gave made it seem like there were more of these prototypes (i estimate anywhere from 2-25) now these haven't been uncovered, but I'd be willing to bet my life they exist (some slightly different then others). Anybody saying that the thing is worth a million dollars probably only just heard of the story. I've known about this console years ago (before this console's existence, it was only rumored a console existed). But now that this one has been found, I am certain we will be able to find more. Sorry this is so long, but I imply you to read all of it. And lastly, don't think I think this thing isn't cool. I ever since i heard the rumor a few years back, i always wanted to have this console (i only imagined it looking different) I just don't like people thinking they're smart just because they read about it 5 minutes before commenting "THIS THING IS WORTH BILLIONS, IT'S SO RARE AND ONE OF A KIND!!!!"

Phillips was actually hesitant to partner with Nintendo for a CD add-on because they already had the CDi out and didn't want to compete with themselves. It wasn't until Nintendo offered them the rights to use their mascots in CDi games that they eventually went through with it. However, the Phillips add-on fell through because by 1994 Nintendo was done with the CD shit that caused them so much trouble with Sony. (Not to mention them seeing the failures of all the CD consoles of that time) I'm pretty sure this whole debacle was the reason the N64 used cartridges instead. Proving to be Nintendo's biggest mistake they've ever done.

If Sony never turned down the Nintendo Playstation, there would be no PS5.

I wonder if anyone has made an offer from the community to allow them to dump the bios and to get emulation started

[@joshb220]

Someone in Dubai offered him $1.6 million.

for the hell of it

[@SharifSourour]

If the CD player on there is functional it could potentially play roms off of CDs. Someone good enough in electronics and programming could probably do it so that we could play an SNES game with CD sound.

when the video is just about to good: "thats it, it works!" *video ends* me: bruh

[@matsv201]

Its intresting because Sony made some of the chips on the Super nintedo, and Nintendo was supose to make the PlayStation with sony... But broke the cooperation in the last minute. Nintendo made a deal with SGI/Mips in steed and Sony published the PlayStation anyway One thing that hit me now. Looking at the original playstation controller before the introduction of dualshock. Visualy its not that simular to the SNES controller. But looking at the layout, they are really simular. The D-pad is replaced with 4 arrow. The 4 collor buttons is virtually identical but just change color. The start en select is the same. The only layout difference is the shoulder buttons.. there are two more. Looking at the port, they are really simular to. SNES have 3 banks of 4 (D-pad, 4-botom, other). The PS1 port have two more conections, but they mostly work with a digital conection

[@mbed0123]

FloorManiac If it doesn't play any 32 bit CD Nintendo games, then I don't think it's real.

Dustin Hawkyard it should be able to play that homebrew game which was made for the SNESCD once the drive works. Ben Heck thinks the laser diode died but he's trying his hardest to keep it as original as possible and make it work

Karson Gameboy I did coke off it... 😐

[@DAGATHire]

i can understand why they have turned down so many offers for it. it's an appreciating asset. Now that it's known to exist and confirmed genuine there will always be someone out there willing to pay crazy money for it. so they can sit back and wait for that huge offer to come.

[@adankseasonads935]

omfg! The Holy Grail of consoles does exist. First the E.T. Atari Landfill story was real and now this too!? Nerdgasam..

[@Clara_Page]

+adankseason ADS I'm still waiting for more Sonic Xtreme prototypes to be leaked, but yea this is pretty amazing... someone must be sitting on some test disks (perhaps even games) for this thing somewhere

[@MrTripcore]

It was marketed as the SNES-CD in magazines in the 90's.

[@nirv]

Send it to the MAME guys to dump the roms and begin emulating it so it never dies and everyone can have one.

[@MazingerDestro]

Emulate what exactly? It's a snes with a disk system that doesn't have games. There is already a snes emulator and developing an emulator for a disk system that has no games....why? The console itself is important not the system inside which is probably incomplete. Also yeah....why would they do that? The point is that only one exists.

[@nirv]

MazingerDestroXtreme There's this thing called BIT ROT. Look it up. It's a good idea to PRESERVE this hardware using accurate software emulation. I just hate seeing rare things lost to time.

[@MazingerDestro]

nirvgorilla A hardware that does nothing?

[@nirv]

MazingerDestroXtreme MAME does it right now. Look up "MESS" - they emulate lots of hardware including calculators. They'd want this hardware to emulate. If you don't fucking get it, give me your goddamned skype information. Jesus I'm sick of typing out NOVELS to people who literally give me GLAZED OVER EYEBALLS when I type something--yet when I orally say it, they suddenly fucking get it RIGHT AWAY. TEXT FUCKING SUCKS

[@pbj10xx56]

+chris manning it would be cool if we could get reproductions of that especially if they added ps1 games support. of course it wouldnt be the same knowing it wasn't the original.

[@mankee2211]

thats pre Ben Heck, he fixed the sound and power glitches!

[@dooovde]

So basically it's a SNES with a Playstation skin?

[@furf433]

It's essentially a deal-gone-bad between Sony and Nintendo. This is the prototype for a SNES that could also play games run on CD-ROM disks. Currently, there's very little software for the CD side of things but it plays Super Famicom/SNES games already.

[@rcso2010]

In that era, nintendo was looking designers for his next console, they went to Sony for the CD but turned them down because of load times, everybody was expecting a new 32 bit console from nintendo, sega tried to win the race rushing his expansions for the megadrive (32X & CD Driver) and then the Sega Saturn (32 bit console). Sony decided to launch his own console after the failed deal with Nintendo. Nintendo scrapped out and announced a 64 bit console called Project Reality.

[@francovinciguerra7720]

dooovde no its a hybrid console. Snes by nintendo and PlayStation by sony.

this is cool as shit! Sony and Nintendo would be very different company's if partnered up for systems

[@LysolPionex]

Aaaaand XBOX would basically not be around at all, lol.

[@MazingerDestro]

Not really considering that Nintendo didn't want to share its properties with Sony. The whole point of not getting this console was that Nintendo thought that Sony would take all their properties and somehow find a way to steal them, which is retarded since Sony would only allow people to develop games on the cd and further boosting the sales of the console. The only way Sony could harm Nintendo is if they found a way to get the exclusive rights of the cd titles making the cartridge part useless since the technology was hard to develop and cartridges were expensive. Of course Nintendo could always use all of Sony's tec and develop a Playtendo 2 or Playtendo wii that would be cd based but what am I saying.....Nintendo thinking smart? These people thought that they had a monopoly in 2000 or something even if later ps1 was coming, then dreamcast and ps2. And let's be serious. If ps2 didn't exist Dreamcast would be the king

The SNES was 16-bit, while the PlayStaion was 32-bit, so it can't run PSX games

j jarry​​ why did the Mega Drive / Genesis had the Mega CD / SEGA CD ? Studio recorded music, video cutscenes and a lot bigger storage capacity, which is very useful for RPGs.

[@Ai-fj1dc]

j jarry it didn't have any games because it has nevet been released -_- And English please, I don't understand "They was going to make the game that are now PlayStation seen as this was made before. maybe you could make your our games"

[@LanCeeXD]

OSuKaRu TV it doesn't play PSX games... i dont think it was even conceptualised back then

You know what sucks about this? There may be no working game demos on disc from the incredibly short development phase this system had Those are generally stored on RW discs, and RWs have a shelf life of like 10-15 years (yes, your burned cds from high school are dead, now, sorry), and it’s not likely anyone downloaded the data off of one before ‘02-‘07 Might still be in some game companies game vault on a hard drive, maybe even Nintendo’s, but I doubt it and I definitely doubt that we’ll see them get released in any fashion (including a data leak) Oh what could’ve been~ 😞

[@StickFiguresMaster]

This was one of many pieces of equipment Nintendo wanted to keep quiet about, they didn’t want people to think they were working with Sony anymore as they took their other ways and declined working with Sony because they wanted realistic blood and violence type games, they didn’t want to be peaceful with cartoon based funny playing schemes, with cartoons that were Mario bros, pokemon, they’re goals although in real life now are to make Mario and pokemon fully 3 dimensional games with great frames per second rates animations, realistic movement, very realistic animations, the skyboxes, artwork, designs of worlds to be more brought with depth into life as nicely rounded furniture and objects with smoothly added textures is what Nintendo thinks it\s the right movement to use. Miamoto although knew that some people were aware that back then they did have relations to Sony employees and their ceo, big guys, they didn’t want to depart from them and didn’t like them, it was just to keep quiet although of what was there then to keep the PlayStation and Nintendo products in line with a reasonable skyrocket percentages graph of prices climbing the scales of exchange rates, the value of items according to analytics could make some games while not only rare, more expensive as well though to.

[@Tsvetok2004]

Considering the console prototype has service boot screens it is real. And Sony boss refused to answer the question whether it is real or not. If the console prototype was fake he would have said it.

[@PartyDude_19]

This story sounds like something that would happen in a movie. Who would've thought that a rare cancelled Nintendo/Sony console would be bought at auction for 75$ because no one seemed to realize how rare and valuable of a console they had.

[@duscarasheddinn8033]

I'm viewing this in retrospect, but was it supposed to be an add-on to the SNES and/or Super Famicom? Or was it always meant to be a SNES model with a built-in CD-ROM like this?
