I had already known a lot of this from a couple papers I wrote in college, but a lot of the marketing and person-specific stuff was new. I had no idea that NoA was saved from the brink of collapse by Donkey Kong, for example, which is yet another reason to love Miyamoto-san.

Overall Nintendo has a fascinating history, and regardless of how people feel about it lately, every single gamer owes them far more respect and gratitude than most of us realize.
