Omschrijving

Nintendo is one of the most recognizable names in global entertainment, yet it began in 1889 as a small Kyoto company making playing cards. The History of Nintendo traces the company's remarkable journey from handmade hanafuda cards through the arcade boom of the late 1970s, the console revolution of the 1980s, and the ongoing innovation that has kept it at the forefront of the games industry for decades. It is an engaging account of a company that has shaped popular culture around the world.

The book covers the key milestones of Nintendo's history: the hiring of Gunpei Yokoi, the creation of Donkey Kong and Mario, the launch of the NES and Game Boy, the console wars of the 1990s, the troubled GameCube era, the Wii's breakthrough success, and the release of the Switch. It also examines the company's distinctive culture of creative risk-taking and its philosophy of putting gameplay above technology. Readers with an interest in business history, gaming, or Japanese culture will find this a rewarding read.
