You know, when I watched the review for Chicken Shoot, I thought, well, at least there are some kind of fun old-school-style hand-drawn animations for the chickens, even if they're reused, cheap, and don't make sense. Good thing they got rid of that, I guess!

[@waltercomunello121]

The sentence "Licensed by Nintendo" made me think. The 1983 game crash didn't really do much to improve games quality, all in all, if the very same company that introduced the "Seal of Quality" to avoid disasters such as that accepts stuff like this.

[@robbiewalker2831]

How ironic.

[@retrogamesmadeeasy8058]

In reality the "seal of 'quality' " wasn't meant to prevent bad games from getting released. That just meant that games that were put on Nintendo consoles had Nintendo's permission to do so. Back in the day Atari didn't do anything like this so anyone and everyone could make however many games they wanted and Atari never had a lockout chip that disabled certain games from being played. Nintendo fixed this by creating such a chip on their consoles and if games didn't have that chip then the games wouldn't play. Nintendo said that to keep up with quality control, companies could only release a certain number of games per year on their consoles. Which led companies like Atari to create numerous sub divisions so they could release more games. Of course, after a while certain companies got around the chip with crappy companies such as Wisdom Tree and they fools that made the "adult" NES games. All in all, that Seal of Quality is nothing more than a really convincing marketing ploy for people who don't know the companies history and who don't know any better.

[@LonelySpaceDetective]

I assume the Seal of Quality was more to assuage retailer fears than consumer fears. Essentially the same reason why the NES was redesigned to look and feel more like a VCR than a game console and R.O.B. was a thing.

[@retrogamesmadeeasy8058]

@@LonelySpaceDetective Well, more or less. Back during and right after the crash of '83, headlines all across the US claimed that gaming was dead and to never return. Nintendo had to package their console as a toy instead of a video game console, hence R.O.B. He made the NES look like just a toy and not part of the video game industry which was pretty much dead. Even then, it wasn't until around 1983 (JP) and 1985 (US) that everything changed. Those are the respective years that the original Super Mario Bros. released and the rest is history. The same thing happened to a point in Japan. Instead of calling it a video game console they chose "Family Computer" Famicom instead.
