In Digital Pictures headquarters, the people of Zito's studio was working some time in a "future" Nintendo Cd Machine with CDi characteristics. But after the relase of Night Trap and controversy (in USA), nintendo refused to have a game maked by Digital Pictures.
After, Tom Zito refused to make game to Nintendo's partners (Philips is in the list).

In other hand, Nintendo was bought the 7th guest rights for making a version for his machine to Trilobyte studios. After ninendo sell his rights to Philips.

List: Sony (:lol:) at the end, Philips, Nec (?) and Nintendo.

I talked (or interviewed) a one devoloper of this terror factory. At the start, Nintendo was interested to doing a conversation of swever shark (hasbro was devoloped this game for the VHS console project named NEMO).

But the bad lucky (or good) was stared. Nintendo problems with SNES CD, and usa Senate problems (and nintendo publicity) broke the digital pictures and nintendo's (partners included) relation. Philips released CDi machine, zito search the afford of this machine. The first game to test the posibilities was "Night Trap", but was very slow (?) for controls the game. Zito refused at the end make CDi conversion because was a Nintendo friend machine.

This person, also talks about the start of playstation and unreleased game: Maximum Surge. He says: "Make one game for Sony PSX was the same to make game for CDi - at the start, sony play station will be a CDi Player (is it true?). After sony talks with Zito: PSX will not a fmv console.

But in google is as well possible to read the Zito's problems with nintendo Nintendo:

« En voulant sortir une version moins gore de Mortal Kombat sur leur console 16 bits, Nintendo fit une gaffe terrible. Sega vendit quatre fois plus de MK sur sa console. »

Because:

Digital Pictures was one of the very first software houses contacted by Sega of America to produce FMV titles for Sega CD. The company already had two on the shelf - Sewer Shark and Night Trap - which had originally been produced for Hasbro's Project NEMO and where then offered to Nintendo for its CD-ROM system. The latter deal fell through as the Sony/Nintendo partnership collapsed, so the only major player left on the console field was Sega. "The incredible irony of it was that the video we plugged in the Super Nintendo was just terrific because Super NES could display 256 colors at once," DP's Tom Zito would later recall. "Sega CD ... had this horrible grainy look to the images."

if you're spanish this looks like a nice story.

Lots of pics! Anyone care to translate? (perhaps just a babelfish!)

a very interesting topic is going on here

Apparently they 'found' a prototype of the SNES add-on system at the classic gaming expo, there are some pics which are (ofcourse?) very vague but the details are pretty sweet. Contradictions all over the place, this seems like a topic for endless discussion!

I think that was the year I attended the Expo from the look of those pictures!
