bitfinity (matthew taranto) – the history of nintendo lyrics
v1:
just sit back and relax, my friend
today’s lesson won’t take too long
and to make it more interesting
it takes the form of this nerdy song
the year is 1889
before the accolades and awards
nintendo got its start
from making hanafuda cards
v2:
for a century, they grew and planned
to discover just what sells
making vacuums and ultra hand
and love testers and love hotels
but they soon zeroed in on games
like the game & watch and color tv
in ’81, they made donkey kong
and the rest is history
(refrain)
this is the history of nintendo
spanning the years, hanafuda to mario…
straight from kyoto, with a guy named miyamoto
this is the history of nintendo
v3:
1985: future stars like link and samus, and portly plumbers hit the scene
’89: all our mothers took our game boys to play tetris on that tiny screen
’91: super mario world taught us we could fly while riding dinosaurs
’94: virtual boy had us seeing red, returning systems to their stores
(bridge)
’96: let’s-a go with mario to new horizons…
’98: pokémania caught our hearts and dollars too
2001: the gba and gamecube lost some marketshare that day
but we still loved to play smash bros. melee…!
(refrain)
so goes the history of nintendo
from ana to kat, pikachu to lucario
a fierce crescendo peppered with strange innuendo
this is the history of nintendo
2004, the ds
2006, the wii
2011, the 3ds, a ds in 3d
2012, the wii u, out by this year’s end
and so my friend, well now you know the history of nintend…o
(coda)

to solve the mysteries of nintendo…
this was the history of nintendo!
