If the Nintendo 64 uses CDs or any other disc format for its games, can there be some FMV cutscenes in Super Mario 64, this time pre-rendered in 3D?

Knowing all the high res/def renders Nintendo did with SGI would be possible, as 3D was all rage post toy story
Okay. And would SGI still provide the chipset for the Nintendo 64 if Nintendo and Sony are teamed up?
Which name progression is the most logical for a ATL Nintendo 64?
A. Nintendo Entertainment System (3rd gen) > Super Nintendo Entertainment System (4th gen) > Ultra Nintendo Entertainment System (5th gen)
B. Nintendo Entertainment System (3rd gen) > Super Nintendo Entertainment System (4th gen) > Hyper Nintendo Entertainment System (5th gen)
A. Nintendo Entertainment System (3rd gen) > Super Nintendo Entertainment System (4th gen) > Ultra Nintendo Entertainment System (5th gen)
B. Nintendo Entertainment System (3rd gen) > Super Nintendo Entertainment System (4th gen) > Hyper Nintendo Entertainment System (5th gen)
The first one.
I'd do it like this:
NES>>SNES>>UNES>>GNES(Giga NES)>>RNES(Revolutionary NES)/Nintendo Revolution/Wii>>HNES(Hyper NES)>>Nintendo Switch.
And how much do you know about gaming @TripleToad333?
Great!!

A different one, as already did Sony,a different one always is more unique
Do you think Sonic the Hedgehog could've fared better in Japan if they kept the more "Japanese-ish" elements of the game, such as a human love interest for Sonic, Sonic being in a band and the more organic-looking enemies seen in the concept art?
I don't know if a human love interest or organic-looking enemies would have helped, but Sonic being in a band could have somehow made him too American to be Japanese.
I think sonic got struck by megadrive own unpopularity in japan, but that could help,short of butterflying away the pc engine is hard
Sonic's lack of popularity in Japan (a situation that only began to change very recently) has always perplexed me. He does have a feel of a Western cartoon character (being inspired by Felix the Cat and other old cartoons, especially with white gloves being included in the design), but then again, Sega of America felt the need to westernize him further.
Especially as Sony propaganda machine was able to make Crash Bandicoot Popular BUT once the exclusivity deal fell off that character is nowhere remembered in japan..or was crash bundled in japan? that gives me an example Sonic's bad luck was being stuck on the Megadrive and later on Sega's own incompetence to give a proper Sonic game to the Saturn.

Oh yeah, I've seen that bit. That was surprising, for the reason I brought up already.
If Saturn were to have a proper all-new Sonic game, maybe it could have turned the tide a bit. I do wonder which Sega IP was their biggest in Japan at the time. That whole "Sonic being more popular in the West" deal might have contributed to the infamous clashes between JP and US branches of Sega.
Virtua Fighter , that game was a cultural phenomenon in the mid 90's.
Second would be Sakura Taisen,of course a game about idealized Japan would be popular in home alongside being an almost playable Anime
Might have make the friction worse but the fact that SEGA consoles were unable to take off in Japan till Saturn was a big pressure in Sega. Regardless the friction and mismanagement between branch was a massive time bomb helped to destroy Sega.
Regardless seems marketing is everything, that and your console having a userbase matter
Could've a game console that's basically a proto-PS2 in terms of power been possible in 1997?
Dreamcast was only a year later but it's probably to early and would be even more expensive than the PS2 was at launch
