I dont know this cat, and Im not trying to sell his book or anything but I have to say it is an interesting read about the history of Nintendo and Mario. I dont want to sound like a persnickety ass but there are some mistakes related to video games that kind of get me, but it is simple to over look them. The book is really structured around the US market so it might not be nearly as fun to read for our non north American friends. It is just a great trip where you feel the incredible negative pressure of nostalgia, Im going to be 29 soon and I can remember pretty well all the events he talks about except for Donkey Kong in the arcades.
Im not finished with the book yet and I dont want to give any spoilers away but, turns out our princess is in another castle...
If anyone checks it out, I would like to know what they think or if they have other books about video game history they would recommend, because nothing says nerd like reading a Mario book by the pool while checking right into the hotel Mario. :lol:
