can anyone explain why nintendo did this? were they retarded? did they think more games was bad or something?

>>7395696
I'm waiting for someone to defend Nintendo's practices.

>>7395707
shovelware glut caused the 83 crash

>>7395707
They thought this would control output and result in better quality games instead of the Atari free for all.

>>7395707
That wanted to avoid another Atari style crash of too many bad games.
5 was too strict, 15 is a better number.
Plus this way Tengen would of not went rouge.

>>7395717
fair enough, but couldnt they just find a better way? they had "seal of quality" for example.

>>7395717
that's the kind of answer I wanted.

>>7395696
The NES had enough low-quality crap as it is. You want more?

>>7395735
This is to aid Capcom and Konami, not LJN and Hi-Tech Expressions.

>>7395696
>>7395707
I can't figure out what to google, what is OP talking about? Could third-party publishers only publish a certain number of games per year? Or was it by developer?

>>7395753
It was a publisher cap, Konami founded Ultra and Palcom to get around the 5 game cap.
At 45 (15 per publisher) Konami would of been able to release TwinBee and Goemon back in 1986 in North America.

Also a US release of NES Kid Dracula.

>>7395741
All it would do is aid those assholes.

>>7395797
It won't, it would aid Sunsoft and Natsume however.

Imagine the Tetris fad on NES without this protection. 70 versions of NOTetris and retailers have no idea which ones to stock and which are fad shovelware.

This rule was more to boost confidence for retailers than to help end users. They kept the sales catalog under control.

>>7395872
But 5 games were too strict, 15 is a better number (45 in Konami's case).

>>7395890
You would not magically get 45 awesome Konami games. You would just end up with a bunch of slop from other Publishers. Konami would not increase their output.

>>7395872
Why do I still visit this site

Imagine dozen of extra games that wouldn't even meet the standards to be included on the action52.

>>7395917
>You would not magically get 45 awesome Konami games.
Because it will be 15 games per each branch of Konami.
15 from Konami.
15 from Ultra.
And 15 from Palcom.
The world badly needs a NES port of Space Manbow.

>>7395890
This is why Action 52 and other multicarts exist-- to circumvent the limitation

>>7395940
Nintendo would of still rejected that.

Would of helped Tengen alot however.

>>7395945
Nintendo still had quality standers, Action 52 would of still be rejected.

>>7395943
You're fantasizing about something that would never have happened.

>>7395957
Let's be real, Nintendo wouldn't reject it for quality, they'd reject it for giving power to the players

>>7395986
It would if Nintendo's game cap per year was higher.

>>7395994
They have rejected Color Dream's games for their low quality, they did have quality standers.

>>7395719
>>7395768
>>7395953
>>7395957
>would of
*would've or would have

>>7396091
Basic typo.

>>7395953
most of those games were shit, but damn i had a soft spot for those cartridge designs.

>>7396371
They were not shit, they were just not as good as what came out of Capcom is all.
Also Sunsoft had their own versions of Fantasy Zone, Alien Syndrome and After Burner.

>>7396365
No, it's an embarrassingly common grammatical error. A typo is when you mean to write something but make a mistake when trying to hit one or more of the letters. Repeatedly typing "would of" means that you actually thought it was correct.

>>7396457
Let's point out a few other mistakes.


>>7395719
>would of not went rouge.
*would not have gone rogue.
This one is an impressive quadruple error.

>>7395953
>alot
*a lot

>>7395957
>would of still be
*would still have been

>>7395957
>>7396002
>quality standers
*quality standards


I'm not trying to pick on you, but I'm genuinely curious about whether or not English is your first language. May I ask what your native tongue is?

>>7396501
English.

Based grammar Nazi putting the shitskins on notice.

>>7395723
They'd give those out to anyone, unless you wanted to make a Bible game

>>7396574
No, they blocked Color Dreams, and that was before the Bible games.

>>7396501
>>7396551
>standers
I would expect a native English speaker to know the word standards, no matter what their level of education is.

>>7397253
Millions of people make that mistake.

>>7397302
That's news to me. It makes the poster look like a child or a foreigner.

>>7397347
I have noticed that only native speakers make the "would of" mistake

oh yes things are changing and such mistakes mostly people do I have seen in Oasis as well near dubaimachines

>>7395696
Nintendo being strict came back to bite them in the ass with the release of the PSX.
>>7397347
Guaranteed you wouldn't correct peoples pronunciation in real life.

>>7395696
Ufouria and Mr.Gimmick would have gotten North American releases.

>>7397405
It would have help them alot.

>>7397413
Also help you get your brains bashed in.

>>7397417
Now you're just being off topic.

>>7397386
Yeah, that one is definitely much more common with native speakers. In fact, I've seen fluent ESL people become perplexed at why native speakers make that mistake.

>>7397405
>Guaranteed you wouldn't correct peoples pronunciation in real life.
It's much easier to notice and correct errors in written text than in spoken words.

>>7397609
You should be consistent Anon and not come up with excuses.

>>7397621
There are several people discussing this in this thread. You may not be talking to who you think you are.

>>7396551
>Zoomies actually think zoomerlish is English

>>7397302
No. Millions of zoomies might, but zoomies aren't people.

>>7397347
>"would of"
>instead of "would have"
Let me guess, you don't speak multiple languages yourself?
That's a classic native speaker mistake. It's very unlikely that someone who learned English later in life would make it. Why?
Because it's a mistake that mixes up two homonyms with wildly different meanings. As a native speaker who learns to read/write much later in life it's much easier to never really think about it since you were speaking before you even could think too deeply about it.
If you learn a language later in life you usually learn by reading/writing the language from the start and study grammatical the properties systematically and as such it's unlikely that such a confusion would ever develop.

>Kids these days, amiright?
Congrats, you've become your father.

>>7399169
We understand that. See >>7397603
The post to which you're replying was specifically talking about "standers" instead of standards. While it's a similar situation, it's a mistake that a lot of us older folks haven't encountered.

>>7399191
Nah. But you've become your sister.

>>7397621
Guarantee I'd snap that ape's jaw.

>>7399359
Whatta big mayun UwU

>>7399291
Fixed.

>>7400395
You're only fooling yourself, if even that

>>7399169
Go back to redddit. You're off-topic posting. No one fucking cares about your blogposts concerning your personal grammatical expertise. It has nothing to with video games.

Make less, better games. I don't disagree with it. Most of the NES library is shit anyway.

>>7400423
No, it's to show "Oh boy! Hot babes!".
>>7400429
This.

>>7400429
Go back to Gaia, newfag.

>>7400429
Why are you trying to deport me to somewhere I've never been? You seem to know a lot about what goes on there, though.

>>7396365

Dude did it four times in a row. It's not a typo at that point. It's a lifestyle.

Man all they had to do was raise the limit for companies that did excellent work. If you've got a Konami then you treat your Konami as well as you possibly can. You don't take your Konami for granted and make it create new facades to sneak past your stupid safeguards! Even turning a blind eye when they do sneak past isn't good enough. You get Gradius II to America and if they aren't interested in paying for the awkward conversion to standard chips or whatever then you subsidize that. It's just a moral duty.

>>7400678
This.
Sunsoft was able to get it's FME7 chip to the west with Return of the Joker.
