Going through some of my garage, I found some neat Nintendo history that I purchased quite a few years ago. I have no idea what era they are from since I can't read the Japanese on the back, but I do know Nintendo sold a lot of toy product prior to their video games. Thought some of you might enjoy

Are you clever enough to unravel the mystery of Clu Clu land?

Wait.....was their old logo a Kangaroo with a Joey? Wow. Or what's the text on the kangaroo? My next point being....are there any games with a kangaroo in it that I'm not immediately thinking of? It seems like (once again I'm not sure if that was their logo) if a kangaroo was at point their logo they would have held onto that idea to some degree? What am I missing? Great stuff though!

I wonder if these we're grab 'n gos for Japanese businessmen to pick up for their kids when they were leaving Nintendo's strip joints back then -- like toys in truck stops in the States. Probably not though since the strip joints were likely before that.

I never knew about the kangaroo logo. After a quick google, I came across this :

Same here thanks. I swear I've seen one or two of those before well in the past, but I had never heard of the Mini Series so it could have been legit or a copycat. The things you learn even after decades of Nintendo care.
