I had my Game Boy SP, and it would go everywhere with me.
- It's almost like the symbol
of the video gaming revolution that happened
and entertainment revolution that happened in our time.
- Nintendo really, really opened up a new market with Mario
and really showed what you can do
with video games and what they can be.
It's really cool to see how creative these composers were
and what they were able to do with what they had.
