Mario, Switch and Zelda: The Nintendo Story

Nintendo is a household name, but how is that possible for a video game company that's over 100 years old? This week, Joshua and Jordan discuss the enduring legacy of Nintendo, a video game company that has found appeal across all levels of gamers, from casual to the most die-hard. Nintendo was started in 1889 as a playing card company, but they're mostly known for Mario's birthplace and consistently creating innovative games and gameplay. Listen as Jordan and Joshua explore their personal connections with their favorite Nintendo consoles and handheld devices, how this Japanese company infiltrated the American market, how they created a multitude of iconic characters, and how they recently created a phenomenon with Switch and Animal Crossing (and developed a digital black market). So whether you're a Nintendo fan or wondering why we're still talking about them, you'll want to check this one out! Follow Wild Wild Tech Love Wild Wild Tech, but hate the ads?
