Super Mario 64, Star Fox programmer says devs weren't historically given free copies of their games, so they had to "wait until supply caught up with demand" if their work sold out
Former Nintendo developers Takaya Imamura and Giles Goddard revealed that they were not historically given free copies of the games they worked on, such as Super Mario 64 and Star Fox. They would have to wait for retail supply to catch up with demand if the games sold out. This practice was common among Japanese companies, even for employees who were still with the company.
