Nintendo Powerline | Everything Nintendo

Before the internet pervaded every home and every cell phone, video gamers had few options when it came to getting caught up in the game. While many choose to buy a strategy guide or ask a friend for help, Nintendo gives players the option to seek professional help through the Nintendo Power Hotline.This week, Brian joined game informer Senior Associate Editor Blake Hester talks about his recent article exploring what it’s like to work at the Nintendo Power Hotline, and what it was like to be at Nintendo of America in the 1990s.
