maxdrive Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Do you think if Atari did produce the NES in America like what was initially being worked out it would have been as big as a phenomenon. Also how would this have effected the 7800 would some NES exclusive games like super Mario bros saw a 7800 port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DracIsBack Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Atari was considered synonymous with the video game crash and 'poison' for some retailers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlepaddle Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Atari did marketing in a completely different way than Nintendo, who have generally been very creative and extremely customer focused. Unless the same individuals were somehow involved, their campaign would have led (if it led at all) in a different direction, with probably more promotion of Atari-owned IP instead. SMB? Maybe, but I bet it wouldn't have been the pack in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 There is no way the 7800 would have been released if Atari had a distribution deal with Nintendo on the NES. Im 99.999% positive the contract between the two companies would have forbid Atari from manufacturing a competing system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
