To be fair, most CD-roms were shit

Unless they're referring to disk-based games in general (which they probably were)

Literally the next one, and then they used weird mini-DVDs because Nintendo compulsively needs to control its ecosphere.

I read somewhere that in marketing you can always tell who is winning by looking at who won't shut up about the competition. The winning side never even mentions the others. The other side never stops talking about what makes them different from the winning brand

Huh, that's interesting

Also confirms for me that NJM has the worst car insurance commercials

CD ROM wasn't an "issue" in the SNES era, until they the abandoned the idea.

To be fair the Sega CD had to be the target in the video and that made the worst case for CDs.

I rented a sega CD once around 93 or 94

I was all excited till I got it set up and played it. I was glad I didn't actually buy one after that experience

Something happened about a year into Playstation, where suddenly everyone all figured out how to reduce load times or got better at hiding it.
Before then, it was rough.

Nintendo also did this when the Genesis was set to release.
They would go on about how the average TV could display all the colors ect....

If Nintendo had their way they would still only be making games for The NES.

It kinda drives me nuts when people go on about how innovative they are....they are not.

Nintendo makes great games for cheap hardware. That's pretty much it.

I mean, they had a point when the Sega CD was around. But then the Playstation hit the market and stole all of Nintendo's lunch money.

New Playstation game: $40.
New N64 game: $60-70. Also damn near all the 3rd-parties ran away.

"CD Rom is slow"

That attitude caused the N64 to lose games quickly and were stuck in third place everywhere but the US because Stolar screwed up so badly that it even made Nintendo's worst decision in their history look like a decent decision.
