  • It was turned down due to licensing issues with Nintendo property, and the fear that the little company would get those rights through a contract loophole. They then went to Phillips...

  • ...for the CD add-on, but after Sega failed something similar they scrapped the project, and let Phillips create a few games with Nintendo property as a consolation.

  • No, Square Enix went to Playstation with FF7 because the disc allowed for more cinematic scenes. This enraged a Nintendo executive, as it was gunna be on N64, and he made Nintendo boycott Square.

  • I may have mixed up this fact a bit, I also have to deal with this terrible word limit.

  • Additionally, Nintendo worked with Phillips to try and make a disc add-on for the SNES. When it didn't work out, Phillips was allowed to use a few Nintendo characters in games for their CD-i system.
