THE INSANE STORY OF NINTENDO - At first, Nintendo had nothing to do with video gaming. Its president Hiroshi Yamauchi didn’t even play video games. Instead, Nintendo made hanafuda playing cards which were used to gamble, and their biggest customer was the Yakuza (essentially the Japanese Mafia). So, how did a small family-run card business turn into one of the best-selling gaming companies of all time - responsible for some of the most iconic characters ever created like Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and so many more? As well as creating countless iconic consoles like the Gameboy, Wii, Switch and NES. It’s time to take a journey through Nintendo’s epic history. We'll not only cover Nintendo's strange origin story and the full Nintendo history, but also the birth of Mario, the Kirby vs King Kong lawsuit, the console wars with Sega, how Nintendo betrayed Sony, and so much more from Nintendo's crazy past. This is the insane story of Nintendo - a MagnatesMedia business documentary.

There is a reason many creators are now building communities on Skool instead. it’s a much better user experience, and much more fun to use. I’m part of a few Skool groups myself and I highly recommend testing it out yourself with the trial. Use my link to get started for FREE: magnates.media/skool

I hope their younger generation can plea a case to their elderly leaders and reference their superior innovative quality in the past.

Great video, well put together and a nice introduction for people that knew little to nothing about Nintendo's history. There were two inaccuracies I found on my first viewing of the video, Donkey Kong was NOT always called Donkey Kong, he was Monkey Kong and due to an error in translation the name Donkey Kong stuck. Second, though cited as one of many factors in Mario's development, the former landlord was NOT the definitive source for Mario's name. It's worth noting also that Shigeru has cited his childhood of cave exploration as his main inspiration for creating Zelda. I don't think there's much else if anything to point out other than the video would have benefitted from being a tad longer but it was a good video none the less. Thank you.

as some one from the UK it still funny to see how big nintendo was as here I only knew one person that had a Nintendo and that was my sisters I had a master system and we had a BBC Micro, most people in the UK owned either a Sega Master System or some kind of home computer for playing games, it was easier to convince parents to buy something like a ZX Spectrum or Commodore system as you could use it for "Education" and that was seen as a good reason to own one, I had a BBC Micro cus that the computers we had at school best part ose one of the school computers had dual disk drive so I would save pocket money buy floppy's and copy all the games we use to play in school, two of the ones I remember was a game called Pop & Grannies Garden, we also never had a video game colapse like the USA thanks to home computers being far more popular for gaming than consoles at the time.

I was confused that you said it was originally called Nintendo Koppai while on Wikipedia, it says that the company was Karuta. Then, I saw a footnote that '骨牌' can be read as both 'karuta' and 'koppai'. I could be wrong in the distinction here, but I think it's from how almost every Kanji has two readings, one based on the original Chinese pronunciation and one that's Japanese (like more nativized).

The original Nes did not sell for a little over 100 dollars upon release. It hit the market at $199 and it came with Gyromite and Duck Hunt in 1985. Super Mario Brothers was not included in the package until 1986. For reference- $199 was cheap for the time. The Sega Master System would also launch at $199 that same year (1986). I got both my Nes and Master System in 1986.

Well met, the card game was indeed intended as it is. It also goes onto a philosophy I take up when starting some fan groups. Rather than chase trends, find the things that are wanted and left largely untapped. Open the door to those things wanted back, gather people, others realize there's market potential and build into it as numbers grow. A grand underdog deserves a way out, and if others aren't doing it, it can be a significant maneuver to know where you can be the return or even an adapted new trend starter on a grand idea, rather than just another tail coat rider. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with joining in on something already started, but the bold can find reward in concentrating into the ones that deserve push that aren't there yet. The grandest heroes of a movement are the ones willing to push in when it wasn't an over saturated hodgepodge. Being bold and effort means you were there when you were needed. Not just trying to chase an already over saturated mountain already turned into a well settled hill or facility. Make available the desire on a fun and smart level where not a lot of others are.
