Nintendo worked in the early 90s on a CD based add-on for the Super Nintendo, together with Sony. This device never came to be as the company decided to work with Phillips instead. This move ended with Sony pushing forward and making their own console, known now as the PlayStation.

200 of these SNES CD prototype units were ever made and barely anyone has seen one in the flesh, but that changed today. In the r/gaming subreddit, someone posted images of the unit. You can view them in the gallery above!
