50 years of Nintendo consoles

A private collection and an exhibition project exploring video game history and Nintendo’s innovations.

A collection turned cultural project

Steve has built a European collection of Nintendo consoles and more than 500 games spanning several generations. The “50 years of Nintendo consoles” project aims to share this history with the public, from the first machines of 1977 to today’s consoles.

The proposed exhibition would bring together consoles, games and accessories to show how uses and innovations have evolved. The route is designed for a cultural venue, library or town hall, with accessible information for different generations.
