Did you know Nintendo had an entire team dedicated to helping players beat their games over the phone? Known as "gameplay counselors," they answered questions on everything from hidden items to boss strategies. The service ran from the late 80s to the mid-2000s, before finally being replaced by the internet. Did you ever call the hotline? Tell us in the comments!
