I'd believe it. Back in the day Howard Lincoln had lots of influence in Nintendo of America. He worked hard and got sports licensing deals with N64. Its how we got Ken Griffey Baseball. I'd also have to believe that was why the NES got its name and it was called the Famicon in Japan. They were far more independent back in the day.

I think that had more to do with software rather than hardware, no? I don't think the NoA had any say in the creation of the NES-GameCube.

Makes me wonder though, who made the decision to re-design the SNES for the US market
