Published in 1986 during the Famicom and Super Mario Bros. boom, this book is a journalist’s objective look at how Nintendo won kids’ hearts—and the market. Built on direct interviews with key figures like president Hiroshi Yamauchi, it argues Nintendo’s success wasn’t a secret “method” but relentless problem-solving and bold leadership. By the end, it reads as much like a portrait of Yamauchi as it does a company story—made even more striking knowing it was written before the Game Boy era.
