You would know these two big names in the gaming industry, but did you know that Sony and Nintendo partnered 28 years ago to develop a gaming console together? Now, Super NES CD-ROM—or Nintendo Play Station as it's been called—has been sold at an auction for a staggering US$360,000 (around CA$490,768).
This rare piece of gaming history was co-developed by Sony and Nintendo with the idea of bringing CD-based games with longer animations, improved soundtracks, and better sound effects with longer voice samples to the Super Nintendo through a format called Super Disc. The console was supposed to be an add-on peripheral for the SNES and Super Famicom consoles. It was also meant to be a standalone Sony-branded machine called the Play Station that was capable of playing Nintendo cartridges or games via the Super Disc format.
