Nintendo was founded in 1889 as Nintendo
Koppai[c] by craftsman Fusajiro Yamauchi and
originally produced handmade hanafuda playing
cards. After venturing into various lines of
business during the 1960s and acquiring a legal
status as a public company, Nintendo distributed
its first console, the Color TV-Game, in 1977. It
gained international recognition with the release
of Donkey Kong in 1981 and the Nintendo
Entertainment System and Super Mario Bros. in
1985.
Since then, Nintendo has produced some of the
most successful consoles in the video game
industry, such as the Game Boy, the Super
Nintendo Entertainment System, the Nintendo
DS, the Wii, and the Switch. It has created
numerous major franchises, including Mario,
Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Fire
Emblem, Kirby, Star Fox, Pokémon, Super Smash
Bros., Animal Crossing, Xenoblade Chronicles,
and Splatoon, and Nintendo's mascot, Mario, is
internationally recognized. The company has
sold more than 5.592 billion video games and
over 836 million hardware units globally, as of
March 2023.
Nintendo has multiple subsidiaries in Japan and
abroad, in addition to business partners such as
HAL Laboratory, Intelligent Systems, Game
Freak, and The Pokémon Company. Nintendo
and its staff have received awards including
Emmy Awards for Technology & Engineering,
Game Awards, Game Developers Choice Awards,
and British Academy Games Awards. It is one of
the wealthiest and most valuable companies in
the Japanese market.
