Echemos un vistazo a uno de los Paper Models de Nintendo, la House with a Veranda, que para los fines de esta publicación pasará a llamarse Casa de Bowser. Casa de Bowser salió al mercado en Japón en 1974 junto con varios otros Paper Models en 4 categorías. Esas categorías eran Animals, Buildings, Vehicles y Large sets. Each category is color coded and features many different paper craft items you can build. La dificultad de estos modelos de papel varía ampliamente de una categoría a otra y de kit a kit. Me llevó unas horas al día durante toda una semana para cortar, doblar y montar Casa de Bowser. Sin embargo, la casa terminada hace que todo el trabajo valga la pena. Ofrece capas de profundidad y dimensión en una estructura asimétrica y la veranda ofrece un gran lugar para relajarse para el viejo Bowser. A veces, necesita alejarse de su castillo y relajarse de todos sus secuestros. The Paper Model collection represents a step in Nintendo’s history in which it leaps into the toy market with a renewed look at their assets on hand. Having printing presses to produce playing cards, the Paper Models were relatively easy for Nintendo to turn out and enjoy large profits. Therefore, the Paper Models are one of the earliest forms of Gunpei Yokoi’s “Lateral thinking with withered technology.” Nintendo simply made new and innovative use of their existing technology. This philosophy is central to how Nintendo functions and remains successful. The Paper Models were not Nintendo’s first foray into paper goods, nor would it be their last, as their tried and true philosophy brought us their successor.
