Yeah and absolutely nobody called them that. They just called them "games" and some nerds called them "carts" if they wanted to sound technical, nobody said "game pak" despite them trying to push the term which is the point. If you say anybody ever used the term, you are in fact a zoomer LARPer.

Hey, I was there, and no child, parent, or journalist ever once referred to them as anything other than "Nintendo Entertainment System® Game Paks." It's an indivisible phrase that was said in full every time.

If you see a purported magazine scan that talks about "Nintendo games," it's obviously been manipulated using Adobe® Photoshop® software.

It always amazes me how people can't grasp this idea that anime wasn't hugely popular with kids or seen as massively profitable in the US until like the late 90s. Before that you had an odd thing become notable here or there sure and it was out there, but it was somewhat niche compared to other things, had the rep of being "cheap garbage", and probably the most successful market anime had in the US before Pokemon and Toonami was edgy OVA shit targeting adults, not kids.

The box art is still garbage by any standard, but still.

Such as? Robotech and Voltron did not end up having the popularity of Transformers and basically died with the 80s. Astro Boy and Speed Racer were relics. Then there is Sailor Moon, really the only thing that made a dent in the 90s pre Pokemon and Toonami.

we're talking mega man, the de-animefied box art covers were being done in the 80s when robotech/voltron/transformers were relevant.

kids knew what anime shit was in the early 90s as well, they weren't going to go "EW BIG EYED CHINESE CARTOONS GET THIS SHIT AWAY FROM ME THIS IS TOO FOREIGN FOR ME AIEEEEE" when being exposed to samurai pizza cats or that dragon quest cartoon or whatever the fuck aired on saturday mornings. sure they weren't big but they certainly weren't esoteric and obscure enough to justify scaring off pencil pushers calling the shots.

Transformers is not considered anime, outsourced labor in the animation department from Japan doesn't make it so. Neither is Jem or G.I. Joe or Wuzzles or any other cartoon that was doing that to save money JS.

I certainly wouldn't call Samurai Pizza Cats "wildly popular" dude lmao, certainly on the more obscure side of nostalgia. My point was simply that there wasn't a ton of kids anime before the explosion in the late 90s, I named the five biggest ones from the span of like the 1960s to the 90s, and that is five out of hundreds of more popular Western kids series. Anime was around, but it wasn't the gigantic money maker you'd hedge any bets on until Pokemon.

And there is another thing to consider too when it comes to Mega Man, it's cute chibi shit, and "cute and for boys" was not exactly the biggest thing in the 80s and 90s. Boy branded things tended to ooze "cool and tough" if not "edgy and badass", so what they did to Mega Man makes sense, they were probably trying to sell this to kids who liked Robocop

I realize they were trying to avoid a whole Kleenex situation where they basically lose their tradmark but outside the UK who fucking had anything other then a NES or an Atari? I don't know anybody generalized NIntendo to mean Atari and once 89 hit and the Genesis hit the market Sega made it clear its was called Genesis. There was no confusion.

This is certainly the reason. Literally everything Nintendo did back then was part of their general effort to maximize their chances of finally landing a licensing agreement with Larry Niven. This is also why the company's direction changed so strongly in 1996 (when The Ringworld Throne came out and Minoru Arakawa made the mistake of reading it).
