>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 8 04:53:56 2019 No.5488668 >>5488662 I hear the idea was to make a point of not being misleading about how the games actually looked (because the aftermath of the industry crash). Still, the effort invested was pretty remarkable

>>5488796
Comical seething aside, It's not impossible that the developers also worked on the manual, or at least chimed in. Development teams were pretty small and informal back then and they would likely be in close contact with the graphic design crew (Miyamoto did the original/euro cover himself)

Got to give you that one. All I know is what happened. I can't possibly keep up with every crazy theory someone comes up with years later.

The devs knew TVs couldn't actually display the games with sharp pixels but they also knew gamers understood that's what they were. It's why the calendars looked the way they did, showing a magical idealized form of the games where the pixels weren't all blury.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 8 12:31:03 2019 No.5489112 The USA box art was made as a direct response to criticism of Atari box art, in which the (retarded) consumers complained the box art looked nothing like the actual in-game graphics.
