Nintendo's Seal of Quality only meant the publisher paid the licensing fee and the game actually functioned. That was about it.

 

Apparently you were not around in the NES and SNES days. Not an insult, but back then Ninty used the seal to do all kinds of things. Mortal Kombat is a great example.

Oh sure the Seal of Quality had a confidence effect on consumers but basically, that's was all a publisher had to do to get the Seal of Quality. The requirements are pretty the same now as it was back then.

Edit-There were no bad games on the NES then?

 

Come on, clearly my point wasn't that all SNES or NES games were good. But Nintendo did seem to be paying really careful attention, enough to notice what content was deemed inappropriate. While I didn't like the censorship aspect, bugs like the recent Tomb Raider game killer would not have passed by the old Nintendo, nor would endless shovelware been given licensing.
