Oh…Nintendo has QUITE the colorful past. Heh.
Wait until you read about the 60s…
Is that around the time they were supposedly managing love hotels?
Shhhhhh, I specifically didn’t say that so he’d actually research it, and be like “They did WHAT???”
Don’t spoil it!

The variety of western playing cards they offered were massive, and included decks of various sizes, from poker size to bridge size to whist size, and even really tiny decks.
They also sold Kyoto Souvenir playing cards, a deck meant for foreign tourists in Japan which featured images of various landmarks around Kyoto, as well as Nude Cards, a deck marketed towards adult males which feature scantilly-clad and sometimes nude female models on the faces of the cards.
Huh.
Is there anybody out there really thinking Nintendo was making video games in the 1800’s?
No one started making video games til the 70s
Surely by now this is one of Nintendo’s most well known facts?
I don’t know and don’t call me Shirley.
Edit: For those who don’t know the history:
What a terrible day to stop sniffing glue!
Wait, they weren’t making video games in 1889? Huh
They also have a history with gambling that they really want you to forget.
