I miss the seal of Quality so much. (i mean its original meaning)  You (well or your mom) could go and buy a random NES game and it was good. I dont have a single crappy NES game.

Also not having 200000 releases a month  made the games keep value.   I buy third party games on steam now because I get them 1 year after release for 5 bucks. Buying games on consoles for 60 bucks even tho they get heavily discounted seems stupid to me.

Please. Almost all LJN games were crap and all of them included the seal of quality. Just watching Angry Video Game Nerd on YouTube shows that NES had a pretty fair share of broken titles.

The seal basically just means that the game works on the system.

They stamped their "seal of quality" on the VirtualBoy and all its games. That says enough about the rigid rules they have. They also stamped it proudly on this:

One of the worst games ever made has their "seal of quality" on it. Bottom right, above the rating. From someone who played this, I can say that there aren't much games worser than this one.

What does N64 have to do with the original seal of quality?  Third parties sued Nintendo so they could release as many games as they want etc.  N64 was at least 1 generation AFTER the seal had no meaning anymore.
