I work at a hobby/toy manufacturer and found this in an old filing cabinet along with sales flyers, catalogs etc. from many other toy companies (nothing else video game related.) It was probably obtained at the New York Toy Fair or a similar trade show as part of our competition research.
This portfolio and the sales sheets would have been directed towards retailers Nintendo was trying to purchase Game & Watch systems, rather than consumer oriented. So while the information is somewhat dry, it does give some behind the scenes insight to how NoA did business in the pre-NES era, which I’m sure some will find interesting! The graphics and Game & Watch photos are pretty cool too.

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing. I’m jealous – I’d love to stumble upon something like this.
You should upload the scans to Internet Archive too!
Anyone else read that “Thrills! Chills!” page and immediately hear monokuma in their head?
That condition is mint! Wow! Thanks for sharing
Not sure if they already have something like this, but the Video Game History Foundation might be interested.
100% get this backed up on archive.org too. Amazing to see it’s still in such perfect condition
Stuff like this is why I still use reddit all these years later. Thanks very much for sharing with us!!
Hey, those are the designs from the Saturday Supercade Donkey Kong cartoon!
That grid on white design language is being used currently for the Nintendo Kyoto store. I find that fascinating.
I feel like this could be worth quite a bit of money
