How To Get A Nintendo Seal Of Quality

Submitted by aDub on October 20, 2008 – 2:11 am – 4,097 viewsNo Comment

SomethingAwful published a chart depicting the famous Nintendo stamp of approval requirements over the years.   While the chart below is obviously not the actual requirements it’s amusing how accurately it depicts its evolution.

When the Official Nintendo Seal of Quality was used, the meaning of the seal was explained as follows:

“This official seal is your assurance that Nintendo has approved the quality of this product. Always look for this seal when buying games and accessories to ensure complete compatibility with your [name of Nintendo system].”

It’s also interesting to note that Nintendo has recently dropped the words “of Quality” from their seal.

The current Official Nintendo Seal is explained as follows:

“The official seal is your assurance that this product is licensed or manufactured by Nintendo. Always look for this seal when buying video game systems, accessories, games, and related products.”
