Did you know that Nintendo was founded in 1889 as a traditional Japanese playing cards company, as this is how the renowned video game brand was created by Fusajiro Yamauchi in Kyoto, Japan to produce and market decks and that is how Nintendo Koppai was born.

The words Koppai refer to cards, decks, however the word Nintendo is not so defined, it is believed that it could be a compound word that would mean something like "leave fortune in the hands of fate" or "leave luck to heaven."

By 1929 Nintendo Koppai became the largest card production company in Japan.

Over the years the company had several presidents and changed its name in 1933 to Yamauchi Nintendo Co Ltd, in 1951 it changed its name to Nintendo Playing Card Co. Ltd.

In 1959 Nintendo reached an agreement with Walt Disney to incorporate its animated characters into the cards, which was a great success.

The 1970s marked a watershed moment in Nintendo's history when it released its first electronic toy - the optoelectronic Nintendo Beam Gun - and achieved a sales boom.

By the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 80s, Nintendo had different headquarters in Japan and began its expansion in North America, in 1981 it released Donkey Khong.

The evolution of Nintendo in video games has been impressive in the creation of consoles and video games, as well as that of characters that have become very popular internationally even for those who are not so fond of video games.
