On September 23 1889 Nintendo was founded in Japan (its the 23rd in Japan)
From the Hanafuda cards to Love Hotels, from Ultra Hand to Ultra Machine,from the Radar Scope to the Donkey Kong, from the Color TV games to the Game and Watch to the Famicom/NES to the Gameboy to the Super NES/ Famicom to the Virtual Boy to the N64 to the Game Boy Color to the Game Boy Advance to the GameCube to the DS to the Wii to the 3ds to the Wii U
I know we have a Nintendo thread but still why not this thread?

Wow.
I did not realise Nintendo was so old. I imagined it being created in the 70s.
A quick Wiki indicates that I likely thought that because that was when they got in to the videogames market.
I love knowing they once operated 'love hotels' though. I now fully imagine Mario to be based on their regular customers, with Peach as the....love lady shall we say

It's weird how all these companies started out as card companies. Isn't Sega also super old?
