Of course not.
A) The Nintendo seal of quality was never about quality. It was about making sure you paid Nintendo licensing fee otherwise you wouldn't get it.
B) The internet. This isn't like the old days where we had nothing but box art an if you were lucky 1 game magazine to make help make your choice. With an overabundance of ways to talk about and find info about games a "Crash" like the Atari faced isn't likely to happen.
If you buy a bad game this generation, honestly it's your own fault for not doing a little bit of research before you threw down 50 bucks.

It was also about quality, or at least it was to give the consumer confidence in what they bought.

The Seal is already on everything. But they should reinstate the 2 games a year per developer rule they had back in the day. Helped to control the shovelware issue they're having now. |
It was 5 games per publisher per year. Some had gotten around this limit by publishing under a different name. |
Actually it was more about breeding nonconfidence in unliscend products. The 5 game per publisher rule was the quality control law. I don't believe a game was ever denied the seal of quality.
