I'm doing a project on Nintendo and I came across this article, it's the history of Nintendo.

It's quite interesting read it and find out

It's a good read. I would have liked a little bit more current stuff but still pretty cool.

I've seen a few articles like this. They are very common in game mags which are just starting up. This article is quite good.

Please.

I used that site last year for a Power Point presentation I did on Nintendo, that was the only source I had, besides myself :D

I don't think that I could get the articles from the mags themselves. It would be illegal for me to post them over the internet.

Also Big Bro, Powerpoint. I am used Flash for my last assignment and got 99%. The teacher was so impressed that she kept my project and she told all of my other teachers.

Hey you guys who did projects or essays for school, what kind of topics did you have? lol I'm curious about why you used Nintendo for your topic. I wrote about Nintendo like 2 years ago and I don't remember why.....I think it was a persuasive essay about why Nintendo is better than other game companies....

I did it to show all those PS2 and Xbox fans that Nintendo is better.

If you want another good Nintendo-based read, get Game Over: Press Start to Continue by David Sheff. It clocks in at a fairly healthy 500+ pages, but every page is Nintendo gold. I swear, some stuff you read in there is like.....wow, the NES could have been Atari's? I've heard some people say it's the Bible of the gaming industry, and it's required reading in some university/college game design courses. Honestly, pick it up Nightmare.

That's a good article on Nintendoland, but I'm working on some things that are a little more detailed.

Game Over is a book. I picked mine up at a local EB preety cheap ($4.99), so if your interested, pick one up there. You could aslo try local bookstores, or a library. It's a bit of an older book, so it might be hard to find.
