About Nintendo

Nintendo is one of the gaming industry's pioneers and has been a household name for all things gaming for many years. Nintendo was founded in 1889 and their first business was the production of homemade playing cards. As the company grew, Nintendo invested in many other different businesses such as love hotels. The slow down in these businesses lead Nintendo to rethink their strategy and return to the entertainment sector by producing toys, and then entering the video gaming industry, becoming one of its pioneers and leading companies.
