90% of NES owners in the West came after August 1987 (look at their own shipment data). I got my NES in the summer of 1989 for instance. For most people Nintendo replaced the NES in North America after only about 3 years. No one back then cried about the Super NES launching in August 1991 other than a few grumpy parents. I remember every kid was over the moon about the idea of a SUPER FUCKING NINTENDO. We were excited. I remember seeing just the freaking title screen in Nintendo Power and saying "I must own this". Today gamers on message boards have apparently become the grumpy parents. Go figure. |
Your point? That was over 20 years ago...... COMPLETELY different world. Just because it launched late in the U.S. does not mean Nintendo did not support it properly.
