Picture: Nintendo’s Quality Control Revealed

Author: Rees | Date: October 19, 2008

Ever wonder just how difficult it is for game devs to get the “Official Nintendo Seal of Quality” stamped on their games’ boxes? Well, as it happens, this top secret document leaked from Nintendo reveals these requirements, and how they’ve changed over the years…

So, so cruel… Yet so true. Of course, this was actually created by forum members over at SomethingAwful. No, really – it’s not real!

I could be wrong and often am but didn’t the original gameboy only have a monochrome screen hence the black and gray games. It was only the Gamebody Color that did what the Gamegear did years before and have a colour screen.

Indeed, but the Gameboy Color didn’t eat batteries. I think the 16 colour thing was supposed to be a joke… Anyway, they weren’t black and grey – they were black and greeny-yellow!
