A lot of muh childhood market would have gone sonewhere else
>Smash wouldn’t probably exist
Now thats a timeline id like to see
Evan Sanchez
Much more niche
Just look at games pre Mario 64
Like it’s a day and night difference
Gaming would be no where as popular, fun nor easy to play without Shiggy

Nintendo probably would have never became a sucessful gaming company.
Sonic would likely never exist because Sega would not need to create a mascot to compete with Mario.
Jayden Williams
Nintendo could have still preformed well off IPs like Metroid or something else, but gaming as a whole would be different. Sega actually prob would have been king but not have created IPs like Sonic the Hedgehog or Nights. Other companies like Capcom or Namco would have really went into home consoles.
James Peterson
The western industry would be mostly the same and due to its success the Japanese market would likely emulate the western one. The exception to this would be that Dragon Quest would have still been a massive hit so JRPG would likely still have taken off as a genre. So basically the gaming market would be more early western style stuff but also JRPGs. Platformers may exist as a genre, but would be nowhere near as relevant or developed. It's possible there'd be another huge figure like Shiggy that made something else as big as Mario, but that's hard to put in scope.

Sony wouldn't have happened or if it still wanted to get into games it would have partnered with Sega. Microsoft its a complete mystery based on how events went. Honestly you can hate bing bing wahoo but gaming wouldn't be the same at all today.
