Sorta? I never really thought of it, I was like six at the time.

My understanding of the story was that they were built locally and licensed from Nintendo of America (versus Nintendo of Japan), which I assume kept the cost down. The same goes with the game. But my family was sort of well off, so there really wasn't much complaint from my Dad when I discovered that Nintendos existed. We only had a few games though...

Nowadays though, you can find all kinds of old games in places like Yongsan for super cheap.

Looking back, it was a weird time. I'm just glad Korean kids are finally getting authentic systems released by Nintendo proper, which seems like it's still more than Russia and Central/South America is getting anyways.
