History of Nintendo

mario-bros

History of Nintendo goes all the way back to 1889. Nintendo was generally thought and translated as "leave luck to heaven."  Nintendo partnered with Disney in 1959 to print Disney characters on the Nintendo cards. Later in 1970 Nintendo was struggling with sales but Hiroshi requested an "Ultra Hand" after seeing Gunpeo Yokoi playing with one. This was very significant because they were one of the only companies developing toys at the time. After the toy industry Nintendo switched focus to Video games releasing their first game in 1975 called EVR Race and then followed Donkey Kong. Nintendo then decided to create their own video game console called Nintendo Entertainment System. Releasing Super Mario Bros was a huge success and throughout the last 3 decades they have been releasing an abundance of games and hand held consoles that are still huge in today's market.
