As a younger gamer I haven't experienced those things. Could you explain a bit?

Well they didnt allow publishers to release games on other systems if they wanted to keep putting their games on Nintendo systems. Thats why Sega themselves had to publish those games on the Genesis.

They only allowed 5 games per year on their system from any publisher. Konami got around this by creating a new company called Ultra.lol

They overpriced their games. They got sued and had to pay a large fee in the end though.

They just had total market dominance. Not a good thing for anyone except Nintendo.

 

Thanks! I love history, whether it be videogame history or ancient history, so I appreciate stuff like this, now I might have to do some googling about this subject.
