He&#8217;s covered everything from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=G_6PO3N8fig\" target=\"_blank\">a TV with a Super Famicom built into it<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pbWkjAFgR5Q\" target=\"_blank\">the Sega Mega Modem<\/a>.

I definitely tried to make something else. I even announced it on social media. But my heart just wasn&#8217;t in it, and I knew that if I ever finished that video the quality would suffer. That&#8217;s when it finally clicked: I was ready to move on from The Gaming Historian.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, Caruso will focus on the history podcast he hosts alongside his wife Kristin. But even though he&#8217;s putting his YouTube channel behind him, he unveiled one last treat for fans: a shedload of court documents he scanned for a video he no longer plans to make. <\/p>\n<p>The documents cover <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Universal_City_Studios,_Inc._v._Nintendo_Co.,_Ltd.\" target=\"_blank\">a legal case from 1982<\/a> where Universal Studios alleged the game Donkey Kong was a trademark infringement of King Kong. Caruso discussed the case briefly in his video on <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/aTyxQfpOEbE\" target=\"_blank\">how various Mario characters got their names<\/a>, and in that he showed off a court document which lists several other names that were considered for Donkey Kong during development of the arcade game\u2014among them are Bill Kong, Kong Holiday, and Kong Chase. I tell you that because I think we&#8217;ll agree that Kong Holiday is a much better name.<\/p>\n<p>For more trivia nuggets like that, you can view the documents Caruso uploaded to <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/universal-v-nintendo-court-documents\" target=\"_blank\">the Internet Archive<\/a>. He said he also provided the files to the Video Game History Foundation in his video. &#8220;Making the Gaming Historian was truly a life-changing experience,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I will always cherish that chapter of my life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"75c0d478-046f-4d29-8848-922306228390\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/beloved-youtuber-the-gaming-historian-moves-on-from-making-videos-with-a-parting-gift-a-ton-of-ancient-nintendo-court-docs-you-can-browse-on-the-internet-archive.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"75c0d478-046f-4d29-8848-922306228390\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/beloved-youtuber-the-gaming-historian-moves-on-from-making-videos-with-a-parting-gift-a-ton-of-ancient-nintendo-court-docs-you-can-browse-on-the-internet-archive\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Norman Caruso, better known online as The Gaming Historian, has spent the last decade and a half making Ken Burns-style documentary videos for his YouTube audience; he currently has over 1 million subscribers.
