Podcast Episode 014 - Nintendo: Playing With Power

 

We discuss the state

of the industry after the crash before Nintendo came onto the scene, and thedifficulties in relating with the modern viewpoint to the situation at thetime. We cover how Nintendo entered the US market and set up policies thatwould be ridiculous today, but were necessary for the industry to recover andgrow. We cover how as Nintendo grew they were eventually sued for anti-trust,and price fixing, but were exonerated. Still this led to them easing up ontheir control in the early 90's.
