However, when it comes to its operations and how it usually works in terms of manufacturing the consoles, the publisher always tries to keep things mostly confidential. But it wasn’t the case several decades back when Nintendo not only shared deep insight into its console-making process but also showed glimpses of its manufacturing place itself.

However, apart from the console-making procedure, the magazine also featured rare pictures of the official Nintendo factory in Kyoto. It even had one image showing a desk that hit the dots.

This entire initiative was quite a rare exception in Nintendo’s working style. Simply because the company is mostly known to stay very secretive, especially when it comes to revealing a place like its main factory itself.

But it was nice to see how Nintendo tried to educate school children and made them interested in gaming, more than three decades ago.
