With the whole 8-Bit days of Nintendo, they did what they needed to do. Why hold a grudge for that? Nintendo started off as a card playing company. Since Space Invaders came out in the arcade (Which ultimitly made a Coin Shortage in Japan becuase it was such a big hit and needed to make triple the amount of coins) and then came Pac Man and did the same thing. What did Nintendo do, they created a charactered for the arcade. They took the old concept of what I can't remember the name right now, but it was the creation of early Mario before he was actually called Mario. They created a game called Monkey Kong, but becuase of a smudge in the papers and bad copying, it came out as Donkey Kong. Since all the arcades said Donkey Kong and would cost millions to change the name, they kept it. While this was going on, a lot of "Atari" type consoles were coming out, so then NES came out. NES started to create a shortage on Arcade games. Nintento was then sued for having a monopoly, and becuase they had soo much money in the bank. To solve this, if you filled out those survey forms with the NES games and sent them back, you would receive a Nitendo Buck, which was out of their bank and now you could only use this to buy Nintendo Related Products, so then you would be buying MORE Nintendo pruducts with their money. They created over 1,000 games for the system. At this time, this was a HUGE industry and that was totally fresh and creating money shortages in countries. NES created power for the Nintendo, and so did the arcade business. Why wouldn't you be soo strict with companies working for you? When Sega and SNES came out, that was such a huge rival that both companies needed to step it up and make sure they hold their business, and their partners. Could this have created a grudge for the future, possibly? You have to put yourself in their shoes, AT THAT TIME. We have to stop looking at company morales back in the early 90s (And late 80s), with the way companies hold themselves now. The business has changed. Look at N64 vs Sony. A lot of people would argue the fact that if you would look at PS games.. there would be like a ratio of 4 games for every N64 game. Thats a lot of games, but how many of those games were worth playing or even looking at? There were a lot of games that flopped for the PS. Now look at N64 and they had quality in a lot of their games. Its not the amount of games that come out for a system, but how well they were built. You also have to remember around the NES-N64 days, the computer held a huge stronghold on videogames. This wasn't becuase of Microsoft, but in my opinion, I think Microsoft takes credit for the success of a lot of computer games and thought they would do good with a console. Its all propraganda. Media sucks now a days. Why is it soo easy to brainwash people now, then it was back then? I don't think people are looking at what really matters, but what "The Commercial Vision" is. Example : Online Play. Everyone wants it, but it's not a strong industry that consoles hold. You want to play online, you get a computer and a videogame. Another example : Nintendo is for Kids. Is that true, Not really. Do other people see that, no becuase of what the media brainwashes us... especially in America. My point really is, I don't think it's grudges. I think it's just the industry has changed and now businesses are using low blows and currupt ways to take out other companies, but it's not even for the love of games anymore, its about the money.
