Almost 30 years after it was canned, an unreleased games console built together by industry giants Sony and Nintendo has gone up for auction.
The Nintendo PlayStation was the result of a secret collaboration between the Japanese tech firms in the early 90s, however the project never entered production and Sony would go on to release their own system in 1994.
Nintendo, famous for hit franchises such as Super Mario and The Legend Of Zelda, was the market leader at the time and the introduction of the PlayStation changed the face of the gaming industry.
All but one of the 200 or so Nintendo PlayStation prototypes were reportedly destroyed after the companies ended their short-lived partnership - and the last remaining box emerged at an estate sale back in 2015.
I have to admit, I'd never heard of such a thing: it all sounds like some kind of elaborate joke, to be honest . But apparently, this was a serious plan at one point.
I wonder how much it'll sell for?
