00:00so Nintendo started back in the 1880s as a trading card company so they were in
00:09the gaming business way before we probably ever even called it the gaming
00:14business
00:19it may be the most addictive toy in history Nintendo video game my mind was
00:24blown my mind was just blew my mind changed my life I was blown away
00:29the NES was so magical a quantum leap watching and yelling at the screen oh
00:33it's right there oh don't miss it Christmas when I was eight years old
00:36ripping open the packaging
00:42I love Mario and all of his buddies
00:47this is gonna be controversial and I'll get hate mail for this but you want the truth I'll give you the truth
01:00to fans they represent a challenge but to critics they are a menace
01:06Nintendo was embroiled in a lot of lawsuits like things were kind of bad Nintendo controlled the market and they had a monopoly and it's plain and simple
01:14in six years the price hasn't gone down at all there's no competition for them
01:18they were a little bit drunk on their own success
01:27couple missteps can really create financial turmoil for a company
01:31I didn't think they understood how much money they were going to lose
01:34once the PlayStation came out it was a different level of competition
01:38Nintendo they were in solid third place
01:44I would always say that I sell joy for a living and we were Nintendo
01:49it did not matter to us what it would take
01:51I think the health of Nintendo is something that we should cherish as an industry
