Having clearly identified which games I will focus on, let me expound for a moment on the creative genius that is responsible for these games. Nintendo is responsible for this suite of Mario games and all its derivatives. A century-old Japanese establishment that started out as a card-making business, Nintendo has evolved over the past hundred years from a tiny card manufacturer to a massive video game powerhouse. The story of how Nintendo evolved from cards to Mario—and from Japan to the United States—is a fascinating story furthered by technological, cultural, and business factors.
