Nixian Channel Description:
We’re lifelong video game enthusiasts with a passion for showing the world how our favorite hobby has grown with us, from individual series to industry-wide retrospectives.
We put significant time and creative effort into each one of our videos, including research, digging into archives, recording voiceovers, and editing. Every video takes as many as 10 hours to produce, because we strive to give our fans consistent, high-quality content.
Our popular “Evolution of...” series goes far beyond simply presenting gameplay footage. We take the time to show how a video game property - its gameplay, character designs, graphics, sound direction, etc. - have evolved over time. We include unique voiceover work on each video to enhance the viewing experience.
People have been playing video games for decades. In that time, we’ve gone from moving a white line up and down to block a moving pixel, to participating in full-fledged, painstakingly rendered real-time battles with people all over the world. We help older gamers look back on how these experiences have changed throughout their lives, and new gamers to understand the broader context of the series they’re playing for the first time today.
The video game medium never stops growing, and we’ll never stop chronicling its evolution.
Editing and voice-over were made by me.

I would agree when it comes to digitized graphics and figting games in the 90's like MK and SF. Although I would say the most revolutionary period was between 95 and 2005. When games started using 3D polygons instead of just pixels. I would say GTA 3 even took it further being the first Open world 3D polygonal game of it's kind. I don't think were surpass that period untill VR becomes the norm.

Nintendo is still the most profitable video game company when talking about the video game industry alone. Nintendo still owns the most shares in that industry as well. Nintendo also owns 2 of the top 5 most profitable media IP. #1 Pokemon. #5 Super Mario and related. Even in the Wii U slump they still was the most profitable video game company with the most shares due to 3DS/2DS carry them during that time. They still on top profit wise which is the only thing that counts cause well money talks.
