I don't see why the SNES is being mentioned in this thread. The SNES was exactly what the N64 was not - the primary choice for 3rd party developers. Nintendo lost nearly all of their 3rd party developers after the SNES era, supposedly because they had treated them poorly. What i don't understand is why the Japanese support left (the N64 was a barren wasteland in terms of 3rd party Japanese titles); I only know of nintendo's mistreatment of it's western 3rd party devs. Anyways, the PS1 became THE console for Japanese support and thats why it had such a stellar library. Best JRPG library to date, mostly thanks to Square.
