He’s also Japanese. Did Japan have access to shit like Pong and Atari when they were new? It’s not like he could have just gone onto Amazon and imported them easily; internet was largely just something universities had, and again, maybe not even in Japan. Not to mention the WWW didn’t even exist until the early 90’s.
Oh shit. I knew Nintendo made toys and physical games before the NES (I mean, they’re well over a hundred years old and were making playing cards for Hanafuda when they started), but this is the first time hearing about any video games they had before the NES. :O

So, Japan had access to TONS of video games at the same time the US did, starting in the mid-70s, wayyy before the NES. Some were even from Nintendo.
