ONE FAN’S LOVE LETTER TO NINTENDO
Retro '84: One Fan's Love Letter to Nintendo® Book Release Video
In 1983, the video game industry crashed. What if it stayed that way and never recovered? Ario has the most important job interview of his life (and our lives, too). The resurrection of an entire video game industry depends on it . . . but he must get there first. Come run, jump, hit, swing, slash, kick, smash, grab, and shoot to uncover, search, discover, find, and explore—in a first-of-its-kind book—one Nintendo® fan’s love letter to an industry deeply impactful to him and to billions of others over nearly a half-century. Blow into the cartridge, pop it in, and power on. . . .
Can you find all the Easter eggs?
