Nintendo Celebrates 125th Birthday on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Nintendo have reached a milestone, celebrating its birthday today.

The company, which was founded by Fusajiro Yamauchi on 23rd September 1889, originally started off by producing handmade hanafuda playing cards. Fast forward to the mid '60s and Nintendo had worked on various other business, including cabs and even love hotels.

It was the 1970s where Nintendo started to shape its future, working on arcade games, the portable Game & Watch and, in 1983, the company's first home console - the Famicom (NES).

Decades later and Nintendo are one of the biggest publishers and distributors of video games around the globe, having broken into new markets and created many standards within the industry.
