interesting to think how the 64DD might have actually gotten more traction (and carried the N64 through a longer market lifetime) if Nintendo had premiered it in the United States, where the N64 was popular early on and waned because of its insistence on cartridges, rather than in Japan where it was much more strongly overshadowed by the PS1

i wonder if we would have gotten a final fantasy vii 64dd port...

@typhlosion weren't vii+ on playstation because of a disagreement between square and nintendo, though?

@Felthry the way i recall it, ffvii ended up moving to the playstation at least in large part because the disc format allowed square to tell a far longer story with more detailed scenes than if they were limited to cartridges

@Felthry well, i could be wrong! i don't really have sources to cite on that
