Nintendo has been going through a rough time lately. This isn't the first time they've found themselves in this position, but this time, something feels different. I have been holding out on picking up an Xbox One or a PS4 until some better games come out, but I recently purchased a Wii U because it has some great games RIGHT NOW.
It's a good little system with some major issues (i'm looking at you gamepad battery life and overall uselessness) But the games... oh the games! They're fantastic! Nintendo has created some of the most memorable characters. I would say that Mario is as important to our culture as Mickey Mouse. I hope Nintendo can get out of this slump they're currently in because their characters and the worlds they have created deserve to succeed. In an industry overrun with space marines and brown post apocalyptic wastelands, Nintendo has injected a much needed sense of adventure, color, and joy into our world.
In honor of Nintendo, I created three new prints in my ongoing "Little Video Game Books" series. See Vol. 1 HERE and Vol. 2 HERE. Let's hope Zelda and Metroid get their turn on the Wii U before the sun sets on the embattled little console.

You can also buy all three prints together at a discounted price and save some money that you can use to put towards buying awesome video games! Because who doesn't need more video games in their life?

A word on Nintendo. Don't worry too much. Nintendo has plenty of room to experiment. Unlike other companies where a slow quarter has a major effect on ability-to-survive, the Big N has enough cash holdings to carry for another half century. And they've earned that stability, as you say, through years of creating memorable gaming experiences.
Unrelated: please make an Octodad Golden Book cover. That would just make my day.
So are these just the cover art as a print or is there actual text and a story behind it?
