Anyone have any knowledge of a partnership between Nintendo and Samsung during the n64 days? Looking for any tidbits of information anyone might have about these two working together.
Looking at the waybackwhen machine, Samsung isn't even listed as a technology partner on Nintendo.com as of 22nd December 1996. The list of partners is as follows: Alias | Wavefront DigiPen Applied Computer Graphics School MIPS Technologies, Inc. MultiGen Inc. Nichimen Graphics Paradigm Simulations Rambus Online Silicon Graphics Inc. If there is a Samsung connection, it is probably through the manfacture of a few parts or via the technology partners. I'm sure if you snoop around there you'll find what you're looking for.

Interesting......thanks for taking the time to look that up. I have evidence their relationship went even further than what is posted. It's not something I'm ready to release yet but is hardware related...... I'm attempting to pull all information together before I release anything.
Very interesting stuff. Were they ever doing things together before and/or after the Nintendo 64 era??
Sounds really interesting, look forward to reading more about this in the future. I knew ninth had its fingers in many pies during the snes days but didn't know of anything after that!
