    THE INSANE STORY OF NINTENDO - At first, Nintendo had nothing to do with video gaming. Its president Hiroshi Yamauchi didn’t even play video games. Instead, Nintendo made hanafuda playing cards which were used to gamble, and their biggest customer was the Yakuza (essentially the Japanese Mafia). So, how did a small family-run card business turn into one of the best-selling gaming companies of all time - responsible for some of the most iconic characters ever created like Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and so many more? As well as creating countless iconic consoles like the Gameboy, Wii, Switch and NES. It’s time to take a journey through Nintendo’s epic history. We'll not only cover Nintendo's strange origin story and the full Nintendo history, but also the birth of Mario, the Kirby vs King Kong lawsuit, the console wars with Sega, how Nintendo betrayed Sony, and so much more from Nintendo's crazy past. This is the insane story of Nintendo - a MagnatesMedia business documentary.

    Sorry for the long wait for this video - it turned into a bigger project than I expected. Hope you enjoy! :)
    Also… let’s be honest, Facebook groups kinda suck. There is a reason many creators are now building communities on Skool instead. it’s a much better user experience, and much more fun to use. I’m part of a few Skool groups myself and I highly recommend testing it out yourself with the trial. Use my link to get started for FREE: magnates.media/skool

    I find it a little disappointing that you didn't mention the Nintendo DS at all. At one point it was Nintendo's most important portable console as it had one of the first touch screen technologies, and also started the normalization of wireless technology in multi-player gaming. But I guess most people don't think much of it anymore now that everything has both touch and wireless.

    I worked for a Japanesse company before the pandemic and witness first hand how they can be overly protected with their IP's. However, in my experience their "decline" is due to their lack of adaptability and resist to change. It's fascinating how the Japanesse people were so creative, out of the box and innovative back in the days. I hope their younger generation can plea a case to their elderly leaders and reference their superior innovative quality in the past.

      Not even close being influential. Mario 64 was a glorified tech demo, it's not a good game. Zelda was recycled content with worse mechanics than the lttp. Golden eye ran at 15 fps, it's a shit show of a game. Those are just facts.

      It was important as Mario 64 showed that 3D was here to stay and how to do it right. I wouldn't say "the most influential" ever. For its time in early 3D it was absolutely setting a standard. Some would argue that the original Mario Brothers on NES was the most influential. Regardless of ones opinion, Nintendo, in general, has set many milestones and industry firsts that have affected all of gaming.

    Great video, well put together and a nice introduction for people that knew little to nothing about Nintendo's history. There were two inaccuracies I found on my first viewing of the video, Donkey Kong was NOT always called Donkey Kong, he was Monkey Kong and due to an error in translation the name Donkey Kong stuck. Second, though cited as one of many factors in Mario's development, the former landlord was NOT the definitive source for Mario's name. It's worth noting also that Shigeru has cited his childhood of cave exploration as his main inspiration for creating Zelda. I don't think there's much else if anything to point out other than the video would have benefitted from being a tad longer but it was a good video none the less. Thank you.

    Convenient, you left out one key fact about Sony in chapter 9 in the betrayal is what that betrayal was discovered only now in recent years. They setup a licensing agreement in the contract to mimic what Nintendo did on the cartridges. Any game made on a CD Sony would get 100% of the profits, but as Nintendo was adamant on producing their own media, basically Nintendo would burn, print, pack, seal, and ship all these disc games out for Sony at their costs and Sony would get all the cash. Nintendo would have been wrecked as it's assumed largely most carts would stop being made due to the cheap media of the disc compared to chips. Nintendo had no course to take other than run to another CD maker or just bail entirely, after philips blew it with their design, they ran. Sony in the end even if it was a few years later still crippled them to take the lead.

      Are you really the script writer?

      @@joyalpatel6000 no, a while ago they made a community post about new scriptwriter position and to apply, you needed to write a script about Nintendo. I wrote one but mine was rejected as it wasn’t what they were looking for.
