About

The Gaming Historian is a documentary series all about the history of video games. The show is researched, written, edited, and created by Norman Caruso. I recently announced I'm no longer working on the channel full-time (check the community tab for my announcement). I'll still be making videos in my spare time. Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss a new episode! Sources for my videos are available on my website, gaminghistorian.com

Video Description

In 1984, Nintendo made plans to bring their Famicom console to North America. There was just one big problem: Stores wanted nothing to do with video games. Learn how a small robot helped save the video game industry and made Nintendo a household name. â–ļī¸ Subscribe | https://www.youtube.com/gaminghistorian?sub_confirmation=1 Follow Gaming Historian: đŸĻ Twitter | https://www.twitter.com/gaminghistorian đŸ’ģ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/gaminghistorian đŸ•šī¸ Twitch | https://www.twitch.tv/gaminghistorian 📷 Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/gaminghistorian For a list of sources, visit https://www.thegaminghistorian.com #Nintendo #NES #GamingHistorian
