Cabbage (video game)
open-in-new
<p><i>Cabbage</i> was a canceled <a href="/facts/Life_simulation_game/zLYm2xJe">breeding simulator</a> video game that was planned for release in the late 1990s on the <a href="/facts/64DD/QUKLBEBu">64DD</a>, an expansion peripheral for the <a href="/facts/Nintendo_64/p1rI4VQ2">Nintendo 64</a> console. The prototype was developed by a team of <a href="/facts/Nintendo/dMrLpaHu">Nintendo</a>'s "biggest talents", led by <a href="/facts/Shigesato_Itoi/KkTeE7sx">Shigesato Itoi</a> (<a href="/facts/Mother_(video_game_series)/3wD93nx7"><i>Mother</i> series</a>), <a href="/facts/Tsunekazu_Ishihara/h59795Vf">Tsunekazu Ishihara</a> (<a href="/facts/Pok%25C3%25A9mon_(video_game_series)/KhmeM2bj"><i>Pokémon</i> series</a>), <a href="/facts/Shigeru_Miyamoto/xYoBgNnb">Shigeru Miyamoto</a> (<i><a href="/facts/Mario/r7to5SPn">Mario</a></i>, <i><a href="/facts/The_Legend_of_Zelda/nSRDtJaI">Zelda</a></i>, and more), and eventually <a href="/facts/Satoru_Iwata/6bF5DsGa">Satoru Iwata</a>. Miyamoto spoke eagerly about the innovative development of <i>Cabbage</i> across the years until early 2000. Years later, he reflected that it had drifted silently into cancellation but that it deeply influenced other Nintendo games such as <i><a href="/facts/Animal_Crossing_(video_game)/3RR2Suzn">Animal Crossing</a></i> and <i><a href="/facts/Nintendogs/ghR35NQc">Nintendogs</a></i>. </p>
