    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.
