- Tune in every Monday for a new episode of "The Saints That Serve Podcast" -
Before Mario, Nintendo was making cards for Yakuza gambling halls. Now, it’s a global gaming icon. In this episode, we explore the company’s 135-year transformation - from quirky side hustles (like taxis and vacuums) to the breakout hit Donkey Kong and the NES revival of gaming.
We share personal stories from every console era, from midnight launches to living room battles, and how Nintendo built a community as much as a brand.
Then, we break down the Switch 2 - launching June 5 for $450. With $80–$90 games and bold promises like 4K graphics and open-world Mario Kart, is the price hike really about tariffs?
Whether you're a longtime fan or just Nintendo-curious, this episode blends nostalgia with insight.
