After reading Super Nintendo by Keza MacDonald, I appreciated Nintendo in a completely new way. This isn’t just a company that made popular games — it’s a company built on creativity, risk, innovation, and giving joy at heart.

In this episode, we’re diving into the surprising stories behind:

🍄 Mario — from accidental to global icon
🗡️ The Legend of Zelda — the philosophy of exploration and why it feels so timeless
⚡ Pokémon — how connection turned into a worldwide phenomenon
🎨 Splatoon — Nintendo’s boldest multigenerational modern creative brain child

From playing cards in 1889 to shaping millions of childhoods, Nintendo didn’t just follow trends — they create meaningful games that stay with us.

If you grew up with Nintendo — or you’re raising kids who are — this one’s for you.
