When Nintendo teamed with Philips, the shitty CD-I was born. When Nintendo teamed with Sony, the kickass Playstation was born.
Looking at the history of these 2 consoles, how one turned out great and the other turned out bad, I always wonder what the video game industry would be like now if Playstation had the shitty games and rights to Nintendo's franchises while CD-I got all the success. What other consoles would Philips make? How would the console wars be like? :O
I remember when the system came out and they had display units in the mall with a person hired by philips to demonstrate and sell the systems to people. You dont see that kind of aggressive marketing anymore.
It wasn't a bad system. The one he has is big because it was meant to also be the cd player in a stereo system, and back then all stereo equipment was that big.
It was released in 1991, and too far ahead of its time, developers had no idea that you could make much better games with 650 MB of data. In 1995 the playstation was launched and did more or less the same as this machine.
@pepperonipizzafan01 sony was working with nintendo for a CD device for the SNES. But Nintendo secretly worked also with Phillips on a device. After Sony found out about this, they stoped their partnership and worked on a own project: Playstation.
Just imagine if they had kept their partnership, the Wii could have HD graphics and a legit library of games instead of kiddie shit with a few good core franchise titles thrown in.
Well, technically I did mean that the CDi is larger, I had it backwards. I actually passed Math and the size of the Earth has more to do with science than mathematics.
How many of you guys want the nerd to review Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Battle 22 for the PS1? That is easily one of the worst games ever! And he can do PS1 games because he did Independence Day on the PS1! Who agrees with me?!
The back one is player 2 the front is player 1 so the front is broken but why would you put a controller input on the back I mean what where they thinking
I think I want the AVGN to review Sesame Street Numbers and Letters on the CD-I and Sesame Street Counting Cafe, I'd love to see his reactions to those if he'd even play it
Have you thought of reviewing half life on your gaming site? Its an excelent game i recommend. Half life 2 and beyond is where it especially hits home. :)
