The Start of a Gaming Empire
Nintendo started its journey in 1889. That’s right, way back in the 19th century!
Founded by Fusajiro Yamauchi, Nintendo wasn’t always about video games. Originally, they produced handmade playing cards. It wasn’t until the latter half of the 20th century that they shifted gears towards video gaming, marking the start of what would become a global gaming empire.
