Nintendo Origins
While local rivals Sony and Sega can trace their origins back to the 1940s, Nintendo was founded by Fusajiro Yamauchi way back on September 23, 1889, in Kyoto, Japan.
Nintendo started as a manufacturer of a card game called Hanafuda, which means 'flower cards'. The company was originally called Nintendo Koppai, the second part meaning 'cards' or 'playing cards' when read as Karuta.
