This is the story of how Nintendo lost its heart. 📚 Sources & References Leadership & Early Nintendo Reggie: “This isn’t the Nintendo I left” — https://youtu.be/6dY916HnHOA?t=31 Reggie & Iwata first meeting — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYcBq8TN0gg Reggie’s E3 Debut (1:36–1:44) — https://youtu.be/jkpY8Ev8c1I?t=95 Reggie Quote Clip (9:18–9:29) — https://youtu.be/jkpY8Ev8c1I Nintendo “Challenge Conventional Thinking” (12:01–12:31) — https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=shared&t=721&v=nsg3ZWaw3ns Nintendo DS Era Metroid Prime Hunters Trailer — https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=metroid+prime+hunters+trailer Nintendo DS Sales Data — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles Reggie & Iwata Blue Ocean Strategy — https:/
