These guys from Japan are geniuses in making video games. With all the countries in the world, Japan really has a phenomenal record in the art of making video games with Nintendo, Sega, Sony they really been the best in the world as far as video game design and development. It is hard for any other video game companies in the world to compare to what they been able to do with Nintendo of Japan
