If that's what Nintendo were trying to do they did a piss-poor job at it. I beat Super Mario World over a single weekend's rental.

Ahhh, those were the days. You knew you had 72 hours from the moment you left the store and goddamnit you would spend that time effectively :-)

It didn't happen to every game, but compare, for instance, the US and Japan releases for Contra 3 or Contra: Hard Corps.
