Every player has forged a unique connection with a beloved game, feeling that rush of awe and wonder as they immersed themselves in a virtual world in pursuit of that most human of impulses: the desire to have fun. Super Nintendo finds lifelong gamer Keza MacDonald exploring Nintendo''s legendary roster of games - as well as consoles such as the SNES, Gameboy, Wii and Switch, and a host of other quirky inventions from the Power Glove to Nintendo Labo - drawing from decades'' worth of exclusive interviews with their creators and the people whose lives have been changed by them.
