Have you ever wondered when the gaming giant Nintendo first started? Let’s dive into the origins of this iconic brand.

When exactly did Nintendo turn into the company we know and love today? It’s a question that might pop up as you grab your Nintendo Switch for a gaming session.

The Birth of Nintendo

Nintendo became a company way back in 1889. Yes, you read that right – the 19th century!

Founded by Fusajiro Yamauchi, it didn’t start off in the video game industry. Originally, Nintendo was in the business of creating handmade playing cards. It was only much later that they ventured into the world of video games, changing the entertainment landscape forever.
