Although many consider the first participation sony It was the failed Nintendo PlayStation in the video game industry, the company was actually behind the release of three titles for the NES. Only one of these has reached the public, we note Super dodge ball. While many thought others were lost forever, copy Super Sushi Pinballwhich is already saved.
Recently the Video Game History Foundation revealed a copy of it Super Sushi Pinball came into his hands. This means that not only will a physical copy of the title be preserved, But a digital version has been sharedWhich is available to anyone who wants to know a little more about the history of this medium.
Now, the question is: How did Super Sushi Pinball end up in the hands of this company? Well, I had the chance to meet Frank Cifaldi, creator of The Video Game History Foundation, former editor of Electronic Gaming Monthly, who worked as a newspaper video game critic before joining the publication. During this work, Multiple companies sent him games on prototype cartridges. Some of these games never made it to production. Thus, Cefaldi found a gold mine and one of the titles found here is Super Sushi Pinball. The lesson is that we should never throw away whatever we get our hands on.
During 1989, Sony entered the video game industry as CSG Imagesoft, the companies that would later become known as Sony Imagesoft. The company aimed to launch three games for the NES in North America, all of which were originally produced in Japan. As we have already mentioned, only Super dodge ball reach common people.
The second of these was Super RescueA position of play flying Famicom Hero. The title was first shown at the winter 1989 CES before going to Nesoft, who announced it as the Blazebuster in 1991, but it was ultimately never released in North America.
For its part, it is noted that Super Sushi Pinballwhich did not feature sushi in its Japanese version, was canceled at the time, as Nintendo rejected the game, but this seems unlikely, Especially since it seems to have passed the company’s screening process. Along with this, Sony announced it multiple times in the late 80s and early 90s.
Due to which the title did not reach the market then, Today it is already saved, and it’s a pretty interesting piece of history that lets us see Sony’s first steps into the industry. Now, we’ll just have to wait and see if anyone finally has a copy of Super Rescue. In related matters, Sony loses multi-million dollar lawsuit over control of PS4 Similarly, Sony and other companies are committed to fighting artificial intelligence.
Editor’s note:
Without a doubt, a great moment for saving video games. The Video History Foundation has done a great job of finding classic games and making sure their history is not forgotten It’s hard work, but it’s something that’s needed in this industry.
