Today, September 23, 2021, a new Nintendo direct. However, this is not all, as this date also marks the 132nd anniversary of the founding of this beloved company. That’s how it is, It was in 1889 that Fusajirō Yamauchi founded Nintendo Koppai in Kyoto, Japan.
Although today we know the company for Mario, The Legend of Zelda and the giant footprint it has left in the video game industry, it all started with the Hanafuda cards, a series of cards that eventually had a collaboration with Disney in the early decades of the 20th century.
Before fully entering the video game industry during the 1970s, Nintendo experimented with a number of businesses in Japan. From toys for children, through Hotels of Love, to a taxi service. Nevertheless, It wasn’t until 1977 that they entered the market for which they are known today, this thanks to the distribution of the Color TV Game 15, an old console.
From then on, the company experimented with various arcades, but It was not until 1981’s Donkey Kong that Nintendo decided to give greater weight to this market. As they say, the rest is history. With more than 40 years in this industry, billions of games sold, and multiple generations of home and portable platforms, this company’s legacy is almost unmatched.
We remind you that today’s Nintendo Direct will take place at 5:00 PM (Mexico City time). On related topics, the company has launched a new collection of Skyward Sword HD. Similarly, the Big N has shared great illustrations of Metroid.
