Founded on 23 September 1889, by Fusajiro Yamauchi, it originally produced handmade hanafuda playing cards. Abandoning previous ventures in favor of toys in the 1960s, Nintendo then developed into a video game company in the 1970s, ultimately becoming one of the most influential in the industry and Japan's third most-valuable company with a market value of over $85 billion. The company has created and released some of the best-known and top-selling video game franchises, such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon. ⭑ Subscribe to Business Casual → http://gobc.tv/sub ⭑ Enjoyed the vid?
