Anyway: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_Entertainment_System_games List by year, almost everything released prior to 1987 was from Japan. Only in that year did Western support arise and that was mostly start ups like Acclaim. |
You do realize that could be in part because 90% of the software development market were Japanese develoeprs?
The crash of 1983 put most western develoeprs off from console support and geared their efforts toward PC and PC game consoles like the Commodore. In Europe back in the 80's PC and PC game consoles were the big item. Regular game consoles didn't catch on for a while.
But as the popularity (and more importantly the commercial viability) of the NES proved itself, the western developer support followed.
