I don't know about platform but the scratch and sniff ad for Earthbound soured me from playing it for a decade and I went in expecting to absolutely loathe it.

Made in the USA is a sign of quality compared to made in Thaiwan (or China as it would be today).

It's also supporting local industry so it's supporting you and people like you. Try going to a town which has no industry any more, it's utterly devoid of a soul. Instead of people walking around happy to get stuff done and feeling like they're achieving something it's just depression and alcohol. It's dystopian in how morbid the place becomes.

As such being made in your home nation is a sign of supporting that nation and a quality tool. They picked something local which is more expensive over going to whatever Asian shit hole is mass producing things (these days it's china).

>They picked something local which is more expensive over going to whatever Asian shit hole is mass producing things
Japan is notorious for producing quality goods, especially when it comes to electronics. But they don't mass produce said goods to export to other nations like China does.

Items manufactured here in America generally are mass produced and very much shit quality.

>As such being made in your home nation is a sign of supporting that nation and a quality tool
I'm pretty sure American manufactures are largely guilty of sweatshop practices and hiring illegals, so you might want to rethink whether or not supporting them is a truly patriotic gesture.

In their defense Americans were still a bit uneasy over Japan (not because of WW2 actually but because Japan was emerging as a serious economic threat), in fact a lot of people thought the next Cold War would've been fought with Japan. Then Japan's economy went into a painful deflationary period of which it still hasn't completely recovered from.

That being said "made in America" would've been more effective in the 80s where Nintendo and Sega still bothered to hide that they were Japanese.
