Famitsu scan with snes CD and portable Famicom prototypes

Hey guys, somebody e-mailed this to me:



I can't read Japanese, anything interesting here?

What's the deal with that portable Famicom in the upper right hand corner?

Is that a proto wondermega?

Snes playstation?

 

Thats quite a nice scan. Basically it's a "What could have been" article. The colour TV thing is what the GameBoy could have been if the technology was there. The Wondermega is an early concept design and i guess you can figure out what the SFC-CD is

Yakumo

 

The Wondermega image looks like something out of Science Fiction. The SnesCD does, however, look pretty 90's and very stylish at that. I'd love to have a game system that looks like that.

 

Actually, that's probably the original stand-alone PlayStation unit that got Sony into hot water with Nintendo, as it doesn't seem to NEED an SNES...

 

Yep, it says so on the scan.

"Purei-Sute-shon-

Not today's Playstation, but the stand alone unreleased Super-Famicom based CD Rom"

Or something. I didn't get all of the damn Kanji, as usual.

 

The Snes CD looks damn stylish - would look better with Black carts though, as that would fit in with the colour style. And the portable famicom in the top right is very GBA SP-esque. Nice Find

 

Just think where we would of been if the Streetfighter the movie the fighting game based off the movie would of been a hit...

 

what the hell does pure sute shon mean? does it have other meaning in japanese?

 

It's a secret Japanese phrase, nearly untranslatable into any other worldly language, except as an obscure Taiwanese idiom that has a reasonably similar meaning. Basically, the general gist of it is "secret-beyond-secret, never to be seen in the light of day" but western languages just can't do the translation justice.

 

Err, dude, you need to write Left and Right on your shoes again.....

Steadster, if you want black carts then I'd suggest you just play Killer Instinct It was to be released at the end of the Super Nintendo's life - I doubt they're gonna re-release all those games just so the carts match

 

Incase you haven't got it after GSL so carefully explained it

"Purei-Sute-shon"

Soudns like? "Puray-sutashon" Any closer yet?

...........there I think he has it

Playstation.

 

this also cool

 

Yup, that's nice hi_ricky

 

Next xbox should be like a Mac Mini

 

Yeah that'd be funny. The first one is huge as a house, the second one is as small as a Mac Mini.

 

Hey Ricky, where did you get that scan?

Got any more like it?

 

first one big xbox is that :

 

Hehe, I remember the silver cross proto. Did it actually work, or was that stuff running on something else, like maybe an alpha?

You know i was wondering the same thing, cause there didnt seem to be any inputs on the thing.
