Minmax has conducted an interview with the charismatic former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida who revealed that when he first joined the Japanese company he had the opportunity to play a video game on the canceled Nintendo PlayStation console. Mr. Yoshida joined Ken Kutaragi's team back in February 1993. This was the time when the company was busy developing the original PlayStation console.
"Everybody who joined [Ken Kutaragi]'s team around that time, the first thing they showed us was that Nintendo Sony PlayStation, like a prototype already working," Yoshida revealed. "And also they had almost finished a game on it. And I got to play the game on the system, the day I joined."
What kind of game was it? Yoshida drew comparisons to a space shooter from around the same time, likely the Sega CD title Silpheed, streaming in assets from the CD. Yoshida said he couldn't remember who developed it or even whether it was in the U.S. or Japan. But when it comes to whether the game still exists in the archives, though, there's a glimmer of hope.
"I wouldn't be surprised," Yoshida said. "You know, it was like a CD, so… yeah."
