Nintendo of America Co has reportedly quietly dropped its plans to work with Fidelity Investments in the creation of an on-line financial services package to be available through the planned Nintendo Entertainment System Network: Interactivity Report quotes Nintendo vice-president Jerry Ruttenbur as saying the Fidelity deal has moved slowly, with the investment company not having put a lot of time into the cartridge user interface needed in the venture, but says that Nintendo will continue to explore other broker and financial services deals – but Nintendo now says it plans to launch its on-line network in 1991, later than the original target of mid-1990; there’s no word about the status of Nintendo’s planned network deal with AT&T Co.
