A video documentary showing Nintendo's history through the Nintendo Museum |
Ó
The documentary shows toys that were already unusual in its time: an Electronic Love Tester, an extending arm used to play pranks on other people, a lion's head for shooting practice, a "Light Telephone" (how it works is still beyond us), and some normal looking items such as playing cards.
Nintendo Company Ltd.'s video game history was also brought into attention. It turned out that it had the Nintendo Disk System (NDS) exclusively for the Japanese NES, Nintendo's 8-bit console. Basically, the NDS is a NES peripheral that plays NES games stored in floppy disks. Once a person cleared or finished the game, all he had to do was to bring the floppy disk to a toy store equipped with an NDS disk writer so he could get a new game for only 500 yen.
The NDS rocked the most, not because it let people use and reuse floppy disks for different games, nor because it let people purchase games for a mere pittance; but because the NDS game writer played a tune whenever it wrote games into a floppy. We would love to own a singing DVD writer, ourselves.
There are lots of things to discover about Nintendo in this video, so watch the whole clip and find yourselves walking down Memory Lane.
