If you wanted to publish a game for the NES, you had to go through Hiroshi Yamauchi, the president of Nintendo. He had the final veto power at the moment of publishing a game.
If he didn't like the game, the game would not get published no matter what.
This process ensured that the NES had only quality games.
Yamauchi was 7th dan in Go, and at one point was the richest man in Japan.
