Cabbage[a] was a canceled breeding simulator video game that was planned for release in the late 1990s on the 64DD, an expansion peripheral for the Nintendo 64 console.Years later, he reflected that it had drifted silently into cancellation but that it deeply influenced other Nintendo games such as Animal Crossing and Nintendogs.Finally, there were plans to release expansion content on cheap 64DD floppy disks, which would alter the game and the Cabbage's development by giving it toys, "swings, slides, ponds, and so on".Itoi was working on Mother 3, which was being developed for the 64DD at the time, and Ishihara oversaw projects at The Pokémon Company, which he started in 1998.[1][5] IGN speculated that Sega's experimental creature raising game Seaman, released in 1999 for Dreamcast, may have influenced Nintendo's plans for Cabbage.
