Nintendo and Mario Bros.

Nintendo was the second game console that I've ever played after Atari. I played Mario Brothers for hours. Skipped my home work and all just to go to the next level. Even though my parents would give a limited amount of hours for me and my brother to play, we would like sneak, lie, manipulate or do what ever possible just to play another hour on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Well here's some stuff about Nintendo and Mario Bros. that are kind of interesting to read.

This is a picture I found with interesting current statistics about the company.
