Something Most people do not know!

[MrAtari2600]

I love asking questions to people they for sure don't know the answer to its fun.

Here give this one a shot

 

When was nintendo founded. lol

 

Most people think its the 1970s or 1980s due to nintendo game system,

but actually!

 

 

read this

 

 

1889 - Fusajiro Yamauchi began manufacturing "Hanafuda," Japanese playing cards in Kyoto

1903 - established unlimited partnership, Yamauchi Nintendo & Co.

 

 

Bet SOME of you guys did not know that

Some of you do though but you guys know to much as it stands

Evil geniuses >.>

Another thing I like to add

 

If you look carefully while watching Casino Royale at the scene where Peter Sellers first appears in the film. He is standing right next to a SEGA Slot Machine

[MrAtari2600]

seriously?

o.o'

lol

I got that movie on my second psp memory stick,

wonder if I could locate it and check it out xD

[Lord Helmet]

I think he is referring to the 1967 original version of Casino Royale:

[MrAtari2600]

[Atari5200]

i'm proud to say that the nintendo thing I did know, not the exact dates, but I did know they were founded in the late 1800's as a playing card company.

So, Vintage, do you know where the names "Coleco" and "Sega" came from?

You left out that they owned love hotels too. Edited September 19, 2007 by Ghost Soldier

Ahh, but what kind of playing cards did Nintendo make?

 

That would be the traditional Japanese hanafuda cards. There's, like, a thousand hanafuda games for the older systems, too.

Due to nintendo's "white washing" of video game history, most people don't know that there even were video games

prior to the nes.

[MrAtari2600]

Such as Nintendo Racing 112

There was also pong systems

Me too, except for some reason I had early 1900's (specificly 1918 ) in mind.

 

(Only thing signifigant that happened in 1918 was the creation of The Matsushita Electric Housewares Manufacturing Works {Panasonic}).

Psh, yeah if you liked Pong. Nintendo invented platformers and rpgs, but who cares? Final Fantasy 1 sucked. It wasn't until Sony invented 3D games that they stopped being kids' toys.

 

I hate Nintendo playing card games anyways. Freaking Yu-Gi-Oh...if our parents had something else to play, nobody would have heard of Nintendo now.

Now you know. Glad to be of help.

A company emphasizes it's contributions and history on it's own website?!?!?!?! SHOCKING!

 

C'mon, does anybody expect ANY company to praise their competitors? Is there lots of discussion of Chevrolet on the Ford website and vice versa? Company websites are to spread company propaganda. That's just business.

That's not a history book. That's an dedicated magazine. Right up there with AtariAge, Sega Visions, Games for Windows, etc..

I knew about Nintendo's history, but I didn't know about Sega's. You learn something new every day. Today I learned about Sega!

Is a love hotel a fancy way of saying whorehouse?

I remember reading about Nintendo's 100th birthday in one of the first few issues of Nintendo Power back in 1989. Kinda took me by surprise. Talk about longevity. Now you're playing with power...Staying Power!
