Published: Dec. 16, 2020, 8 a.m.

Much the way we all set our status to not show when we\u2019re in a game, the Game and Watch was originally created to allow Japanese sallarymen to play games at work while their boss was none the wiser. This week we\u2019re joined by Matt Alt as he discusses his article, \u201cHow Gunpei Yokoi Reinvented Nintendo,\u201d which is pulled from a chapter in his new book Pure Invention.
