Nintendo was founded in 1889 in Kyoto, Japan, as a playing card company. It produced handmade hanafuda (flower cards) for decades before branching into toys and eventually video games in the 1970s.
Nintendo has released seven major home consoles (NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, Wii U, and Switch) plus several handheld systems including the Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, DS, and 3DS families.
