I’m really curious about this one. I don’t know much about Mario, and my family didn’t have any video game systems when I was a kid, but I do like to play sometimes now. The part about not having a lot of original interviews concerns me a bit, but maybe that’s just a problem for people already really familiar with Nintendo.

I don’t really remember the SNES console although my Dad did have one. By the time I was interested in such things Nintendo had moved onto the N64. And since then I have been pretty addicted to Mario Karts!!

This sounds interesting. I never really was a gamer, but my family was growing up and I have a Wii… Which I sometimes use…

Why was it a bad time to release video games?

I remember when I got a Nintendo for Christmas. It was very exciting.

I remember one summer when I played Mario from sunup to sundown for weeks. My friends also played and we had huge competitions to see how far we could go with it. This would probably be a great book for me, and I am glad that you ended up liking it! I must add this one to my wish list!

I plan to read this and pass it on to Vance – it’s right up his alley. I think Nintendo will become stronger after the PlayStation debacle earlier this year.

This sounds fascinating! I also grew up with Nintendo and Mario, so I bet I’d enjoy this as much as you did.
