That was only during a period of high rate counterfeit games being sold around for cheap. This isnt happening anymore because, well, digital piracy.

The Nintendo Seal of Quality is still put on Nintendo games.

My physical copy of Doki Doki Literature Club Plus on Nintendo Switch has one on the back of the box next to the barcode.

I thought they dropped "quality" years ago.

The word perhaps, but the seal is identical in design, color, and function. I believe now it just says "Official Nintendo Seal" which doesnt much change the function except they can't be sued for licensing bad quality games I guess? Fits in with their anti-consumer theme though.
