“No gaming company has a legacy as rich and diverse as Nintendo’s.  Originally founded in 1889, the Japanese company sold everything from Hanafuda playing cards to mechanical toys before moving into videogames during the mid Seventies, eventually finding huge success in the arcades with the 1981 hit, Donkey Kong.  Nintendo found further fame with the launch of Famicom in 1983, which is better known in the west as the NES.  Supported by great games, including Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Metroid and Duck Hunt, the NES transformed Nintendo into one of the most powerful players in the industry and as companies like Atari and Sega fell by the wayside, Nintendo continued to gather momentum releasing the Game Boy, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64 and countless other consoles and handhelds.  It’s now finding phenomenal success with the Switch and continues to deliver great games for its flagship franchises.”
