fentech's review against another edition
5.0
I really loved the story and narration of this book. Wish Jeff Ryan had more books on Audible. If you are a nerd or just interested in video games/tech this book is full of an amazing story and history of Nintendo from their first big hit to modern consoles. I highly recommend it.

Loved it!
5 stars for Ray Porter reading it.
I think part of why I loved is because I'm Gen X and remember all of it. I had an NES and an SNES and I played Mario over and over again. I remember the flash and burn of Genesis and the arrival of the Playstation and then the Xbox. So it was really interesting reading the behind the scenes strategizing of it all (at least, behind Nintendo's scenes).
I was rather sorry it was written over 10 years ago - it would have been interesting to read about the Switch as well.
