Want to defect to the enemy? President Fu qianjia once wanted VR Warrior 3 to port N64

For many game fans, the console wars between Sega and Nintendo have long been heard of at the end of the last century. The war led Sega to announce its exit from the console market after the last generation of console Dreamcasts sold dismal. Recently, James Mielke, producer of Limited Run Games and former game journalist, revealed that Bernie Stolar, the president of the former Jia Us region, once wanted to port "VR Warrior 3" and "Crazy Taxi" to the opponent at that time, Nintendo N64 console.

At the time of the release of the two games, Sega and Nintendo were engaged in a battle between consoles. At that time, Sega was still actively supporting its own Dreamcast, but there were also some situations, and although the DC console performed quite actively in the European and American markets, Sega eventually fell into a serious financial crisis. Stolar had already reached an agreement with Acclaim CEO Greg Fischbach at the time to bring a select Sega game to the platform of Nintendo, the "nemesis" of the time.

James Mielke said Bernie Stolar and Greg Fiscbach wanted to port VR Warrior 3 and Crazy Taxi to the N64 because the platform couldn't produce anything similar to the Model 3 quality level. They had signed a contract and negotiated everything, but Sega Japan did not approve it. When Sega Japan got this out, it was clear that "we must not do this."

Of course, shortly after that, Sega officially announced its withdrawal from the hardware business in January 2001, and Crazy Taxi landed on the PS2 platform in May of the same year.
