In [[NTSC]] regions, this seal is an elliptical starburst named the "Official Nintendo Seal". Originally, for NTSC countries, the seal was a large, black and gold circular starburst. The seal read as follows: "This seal is your assurance that NINTENDO has approved and guaranteed the quality of this product." This seal was later altered in 1988: "approved and guaranteed" was changed to "evaluated and approved". In 1989, the seal became gold and white, as it currently appears, with a shortened phrase, "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality". It was changed in 2003 to read "Official Nintendo Seal".<ref name="Nintendo, Seal" />

The seal currently reads:<ref>{{cite book |title=Nintendo 3DS XL Operations Manual |url=https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/SPR_EN_NA.pdf |publisher=Nintendo |access-date=2 September 2012 |archive-date=8 November 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121108141835/http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/SPR_EN_NA.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
