Dude, they had different pinouts. It would have required an add-on device to emulate it (the Sega solution) or some sort of double-pack system. Neither would have been financially viable. Discs were the big leap that helped make BC an expectation instead of a surprise.
Apparently Nintendo was seriously considering it, the Super Famicom even debuted with the "Famicom Adapter", so financial viability may be up for debate but I think it's reasonable to assume it would have been.
Source? I have never heard of this before and googling gives me nothing. I am well aware of the story about them wanting it but not being able to pull it off due to time/money/tech constraints though.
Here's what I found, the info seems legit. I can see why they dropped this adapter idea, the implementation seems odd.
That "adapter" sure looks like a standalone to me. Probably became the "NES 2"/"New Famicom".
You have reminded me even though my sister lent me her Game Boy Color for years, never completed that copy of SMB even though I got very close. I need to fix that on the switch lol.
SMB Deluxe? I like that version but the screen crunch really hurts the game's playability imo.
That was all I had of SMB growing up lol. It forced you to git gud, screen be dammned
*laughs in Sonic The Hedgehog Game Gear games*
*chuckles in Master System versions*
That's my point. Game Gear versions of (almost) all the games were nothing more than the master system versions shrunken to a handheld with a smaller resolution with the zoom in like 150-200 percent. Your reflexes and optical senses had to be more tighter and stronger if you wanted to actually beat the game.
Yeah, thing is I don't believe Deluxe was ever ported to anything else so unfortunately that version of SMB is trapped with its screen crunch.
True enough, and it's my main complaint too.
I can't wait for some soyboy Nintentards to overreact for a couple days until the next Nintendo Direct stream where they just forget about the whole thing
I mean, it goes without saying to take any leak with a grain of salt, though apparently the leaker in this case has been right about his leaks before.
This honestly hurts but I fully expect the fandom to make their own damn servers just like they did for the DS. Also, I find it funny that even though the 3DS/Wii U Apocalypse comes April 2024 the only game to survive it is fucking Pokemon Bank.

Way ahead of you, though it’s not done yet.
Can’t you import from Pokemon Bank to Home?"Hey, we know we axed the nationaldex, and some past gen moves as well, but we'll still keeping the service that only works on those past gen games that are obsolite now because...
