Nintendo PlayStation...so, apparently someone has one.

I want a video of this in action. I guess with cartridges it's the same as a SNES -- it'd be awesome if the owner had a CD with a game on it.
 
Are we sure that's not just a PS1 prototype?

I would assume Sony used Nintendo controllers and cartridges in the prototyping stage as it was cheaper than using prototype controllers and such?

So if it is one of these (and it seems like it's possible) did someone just essentially mod/kitbash a Playstation prototype solely for the purpose of trying to pull a fast one on the rest of the internet?

What a waste.
 
If that's real then I can see why Nintendo didn't want to go through with the deal. It's covered in Sony logos but Nintendo's are out of sight.

Sorry for the confusion. I edited my post. Upon a closer look at the source my link points to, it does indeed appear to be the Sony made prototype SNES with CD rom drive
 
I mean (if real) this is cool and all, but without any software it's hard to gauge what could've been so to speak.
 
I never encountered this prototype before in my days of Nintendoage nerdage... otherwise I would of bought it off eBay or seen a sale of it. If real omggg!!!....added to the list of things to acquire.

If this is both verified real and goes up for auction, better be prepared to shell out the cost of a house for this thing. This is one of the most legendary prototype systems ever, mostly the subject of rumor for the past twenty years, and until now never really shown to "exist" outside of ancient, blurry photos.

If real, this is worth a small fortune. This could be one of the most valuable gaming objects out there. Possibly the only remaining artifact of the legendarily failed collaboration between Nintendo and Sony, the fallout of which basically changed the gaming landscape.

This is a pretty big find if it's real.
 
Doesn't seem photoshopped, hmm....


I'm guessing it was just a design mockup or something. No way this actually existed but didn't leak until now.

edit: an s-video port on a console from 1995? something doesn't compute here.

The 3DO had S-video in 1993, What's the issue?

My Launch Japanese PlayStation 1 has an S-Video port. It was removed from the western versions.
 
This is a bigger deal to me than buried ET cartridges, in terms of legendary elements in the gaming world.
All I have is questions...
Where did this come from, who posted the images, story behind how the user obtained it, does it work, whats on the prototype carts, ? etc....

Yeah I'm not saying its fake but definitely gonna need some backstory here.
 
Heh, I see some in here don't recognize the original SNES-Playstation.

Neat fake of the real thing if it isn't real.

If is fake is a damn good one. I mean even the color on the plastic of the console and controllers decolorate like the real thing would do after almost 30 years. I can't even think how much this could cost if real.

Doubt it's a mockup. Sony and Nintendo were good to go until the 11th hour, IIRC. It's why Sony then had to do the Playstation really quickly.

Dunno why the back connctors are in English, though. Don't the Japanese Playstations have their stuff in Japanese?
 
I wonder where the industry would be if Sony was able to combine their consumer electronics know how with Nintendo games. I realize that Yamauchi (rest in peace) backed out of a bad deal, but that basically created big N's ultimate nemesis. It's such a comic book plot. Lol.
 
"So my dad finally let me take a photo of this top secret Sony and Nintendo super system that uses a CD to play games and he has a demo game with it that noones ever played this is all so rare that nobody's ever confirmed its existence but I'm not allowed to talk about it really so yeah bye"


This story reads like schoolyard braggart circa 1993.
