In moderation briefly about the history of Nintendo [part 1]

YO Gamers, today I wanted to talk about the controversial company as Nintendo, it is Big N, the history of these companies is huge and has more than 130 years, which is a very impressive time, and the path through which it went even stronger. From a small workshop where playing cards were made to huge corporations with multi -billion dollar income. Initially, I wanted to make a blog with a more negative context, but after getting acquainted with the history of companies and how it developed by focusing on some details, I realized that everything was not black or white and decided to figure it out with everything. Our story is Raching from a person by name by name Fusadziro Yamauti, which founded Nintendo Koppai in 1889. And I was engaged in Nintendo then the distribution of the playing cards “Hanafuda”.

For a historical context – then in Japan, the authorities tried to restrain the spread of illegal gambling, including classic maps, but Fusajiro convinced the government that his cards were normal and their “chip” called that there were no numbers there at all, and instead of them were drawings in the Japanese style. Surprisingly, this was enough and he began the production of these Hanafud cards in this workshop.

The same workshop, part-time first headquarters of Nintendo (1889-1950s) in Simogo-Ko, Kyoto. The right side was restored, but alas, alas was demolished in 2004.

But it was something to produce, for Casino-joy-uk.org these cards were grabbed like hot pies. Time passed and in 1930 at the age of 70, Fusadziro could no longer deal and it was necessary to transfer the board to other hands by the company, but there was one problem, and it was called Japanese traditions. Fusadziro did not have a son, but it was impossible to transfer the company’s company to the company, because of which he transferred the company to his son-in-law Sekireo Kaneda and because of the same traditions he had to change the name to Sekireo Yamatui. He founded the Marufuku company in 1947 in order to distribute the Hanafuda cards and several other cards of cards that were introduced by the Nintendo then, but by 1949, Sakyreo got sick and he also had no son, so he also had to transfer his son -in -law’s reign, but then he had not very good relations with his family and left it, eventually become the head Nintendo already had his son by name Hiroshi. He took this post at the age of 22 years and so Hiroshi worked in Nintendo for 53 years (until 2002) and it was with him that Nintendo was transformed from small companies for the production of playing cards in what we know today.

The first big progress appeared in 1963 when it changed the name of companies with Nintendo Playing Card Company Limited at Nintendo Company, Limited. And in the 70s, the companies had a full -fledged plant for the production of toys that was the merit of his engineer Gunpay Yokoy, it was he who made a toy that became a hit. I advise you to keep the name of Gunpei Sana in my head, because later it will become one of the producers of such cult games as Metroid, Super Mario Land Super Mario World 2 and not only. But in the 70th he made more than one toy that became a mega hit at least in his homeland.But not everything was so rosy, there was already an oil crisis in the yard, which was noticeably so influenced by the price of toy production not for the better, because of which Nintento began to watch around and saw the video game market that only turned into something meaningful. They took their feet in their hands and created a unit that was responsible for everything related to video games, and in 1977 they released Nintendo Color TV Game, which was a game console with the adaptation of the game Breakout, however, it was not produced for long, only 3 years, and then only in his native Japan, which does not cancel its success because it was sold in the amount of 1.6 million copies, which in the scale of one country in those years is very decent. There were several versions of this prefix, but in the end the production of all these prefixes was removed in favor of the production of Nintendo Entertainment System, she is also Family Computer, then I will simply call it carried.

Color TV -game 6 – first 2 versions

This point after which the Nintendo’s affairs, and the entire gaming industries sharply flew up, it was she who showed the whole world what video games are and about 62 million copies of this console were officially sold, this is not the same as different pirate versions, such as the “dandy” that was distributed throughout the Soviet Union. The release of itself carried out back in the 83rd year in Japan and only two years later the console reached Europe and the USA. It is worth noting what exactly is considered the first third generation console and one of the reasons why the game industry finally did not die due to the crisis of 83 years. What was the reason for success you ask? Games I will answer you. It was on the carried by such a series of games Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania Punch Out and not only. The console generally gave out a picture very pleasant to the eye, and many games developed by the big n person out of the series that still exist and are sold by multimillion-dollar circulations, and the original games of the distant 80s are still popular in a certain circle of gamers-enthusiasts, which can be traced in a huge number of different emulators or mini consoles with the possibility of playing in those sary cults. Since we started talking about these games, it will be sinful not to tell about the person who stood behind many of them,

And for this we return a little back to the time of Nintendo Color TV, during its production, one young man named was joined by Nintendo’s companies Sigar Miyamoto. Miyamoto of the early years loved to draw and paint pictures, was very curious, which was indicated by different stories about how he investigated different caves, lakes and other picturesque places that later affected his works, and in the elementary grades of the school he dreamed of entering the troupe of the puppet theater, in short in the fantasies of the man there were definitely no problems. Well, in 1977, he managed to meet with his father’s friend, who worked in Nintendo Japan and was able to knock out his place. He made his debut as an artist in 1977 and even was responsible for the appearance of one of the versions of Color TV, everything went calmly, but at the beginning of the 80th nintedo ordered a bunch of slot machines with the game Radar Scope … and crashed. The losses were huge, but they did not despair and decided to follow the philosophy of companies that had not failed before, namely, to take risks and experiment. And so they decided to develop the game Donkey Kong and the existence of companies depended on the success of this game. And as we know now, she became a huge hit, and his characters for which Miyamoto personally was responsible, or rather, Donky Kong and Maria became religious. Although initially Mario was the name of Jump Men, and the princess in trouble with the name of the lady turned into Paulina and for that matter, I will end everything connected with the bottom of the Conga because Siger wrote for him the Saundtrek, and then became the producer of almost all the existing official games about a mustachioed plumber and must say that he does his job at five with a plus, a plus, a plus. for games about Maria are still hits on the consoles of Nintendo.

At this moment, I would like to take a break, since I told everything that I wanted about the foundation of Nintendo and its path to the point that we know about now, and in the next part we will talk about what the company did in the interval from Nintendo 64 to WII and at the same time I would like to hear the feedback and criticism, which I can work on the time I work on the next part.
