Ah... now I remember. I was kind of mad about that one too. Nintendo was big on no violence in games. But they really did believe in it and I think their heart was in the right place. This was during a time when there was no ESRB. At least they have learned from their mistakes. It's not like they are Jack Thompson who doesn't seem to get it.

Maybe that's why Sega did the smear campaign.

Possibly. I'm not sure when Sega started their smear campaign but I do remember it. There was no love lost between those two companies in the SNES/Genesis era, in fact, they were downright nasty to each other.
