Blurb: In 1991, a company formerly devoted to manufacturing playing-cards outstripped the earnings of the massive Sony Corporation by $400 million. In 1992, this same company made more profit than any American film studio - $1.5 million per employee. Its name? Nintendo. David Sheff takes an insider's look at the history of this extraordinary company, tracing its development into a global empire. Through Japan's most famous export, Mario, he reveals the secrets of its scorched-earth policy towards its competitors, and predicts the future for Nintendo in the developing world of multimedia.
