History of Nintendo Part 1 – Leaving Luck to the Heavens

I’m surprised that this wasn’t already done, but whatever, awesome. With the Wii U fast approaching, what better time to learn the history of one of the most successful gaming company in the world. It is always cool to see how one great force of creativity and brilliance (Walt Disney and Disneyland) inspire another. I guess there is a reason why Nintendo and Disney are two of my all-time favorite things to exist. Also, it must be cool to kind of finally realize the dream of the person who set Nintendo on the path to what it is today with Nintendoland.

Also, I felt so smart knowing not just Miyamoto but also Gunpei Yokoi and the stuff that he did beyond Metroid.
