Redstreak 6,653 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Biography: Nintendo is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics company headquartered in Kyoto, Japan. Nintendo is the world's largest video game company by revenue. Founded on September 23, 1889 by Fusajiro Yamauchi, it originally produced handmade hanafuda playing cards. By 1963, the company had tried several small niche businesses, such as cab services and love hotels. Abandoning previous ventures in favor of toys in the 1960s, Nintendo then developed into a video game company in the 1970s, ultimately becoming one of the most influential in the industry and Japan's third most valuable listed company with a market value of over US$85 billion. Nintendo of America is also the majority owner of the Seattle Mariners Major League Baseball team. The name Nintendo can be roughly translated from Japanese to English as "leave luck to heaven." As of March 31, 2014, Nintendo reports historically cumulative sales of over 670.43 million hardware units and 4.23 billion software units Current Gen.

Haroon 49,685 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Omg what a beautiful thread! I'm a Little Nintendster I've been into Nintendo since my brother bought an N64 when I was like 4 years old and we used to play Golden Eye and Turok and Killer Instinct Gold and Wave Race and Super Mario 64 We didn't have Pokemon Stadium or Mario Kart 64, but we did borrow it sometimes, and then eventually he bought Mario Kart 64 and we'd play it ALL the time Then I got a Gameboy Colour (transparent purplish one) for one of my birthdays but my brother didn't get me Pokemon (which is what I wanted at the time) because I misbehaved So I had to pick any other game and the only one I recogised was a Dexter's Lab one so I just got that and my sister already had Wario Land 3 so we'd play those :yes: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
