This week on All Things Nintendo, Brian is joined by the best-selling author of Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle That Defined a Generation, Blake J. Harris. The two discuss the history of the Sega Genesis, which just turned 35 years old this week, and how it impacted Nintendo not just in the '90s, but in every era after.
