Forums - Nintendo Discussion - The lie that helped build Nintendo

As a Nintendo fan from Denmark through many many years, this certainly fills in a lot of blanks for me!

Been quite a while since I could say this in earnest but: Thanks, IGN!

I watched this yesterday. It's probably the best piece of journalism IGN has ever done.







7.8/10 Too much water.

Their worst one was back when they were N64.com/PSM era, scoring Tactics Ogre on PSX like 6.1 because it was a ripoff of Final Fantasy Tactics...

Note, the print magazine later corrected the error of its online self and scores Tactics Ogre on PSP a 90%.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

This video article by IGN was a very interesting tidbit on the history of Nintendo which I was completely unaware of.

For those of you who love Nintendo history, take a look at the story of a Swedish man called Owe Bergsten who brought Nintendo to Scandinavia, after having played Game & Watch non stop as he was flying home from Japan.

As an entrepreneur, and as a person, it can pay off to be patient, and wait for the wings of a butterfly to produce something great over time.

Here's a story of a man who defies odds and wins fortune to his favor by the skill of charm.

I just watched this at work last week.... I was... on.. a break! I swear! Lol. It's a very interesting video. I never knew about it until this.
