Episode notes

The Tetris movie focuses on obviously Tetris, but also it's like the inception of the handheld console Which is weirdly like it broke the model because it introduces like a new form factor to put the game boy. And there's this amazing scene where he goes in and they're like showing the hardware and the guy that I think brought Tetris to market or as a has a huge role in making Tetris one of the biggest games ever. They basically talked about appeal like he's saying Mario has a niche appeal versus Tetris like anybody and everybody plays Tetris, right? which is like weirdly analogous to mobile games now. Like we are really the minorities you think about it about

The NIA boys discuss the Super Mario Bros Blockbuster, Nintendo IP, Europe vs. US Tech, and much more.
