Today in 1889, the Nintendo company is founded in Kyoto to produce Hanafuda cards (also known as Flower Cards). Along the way to becoming one of the largest video game companies in the world featuring Mario, Zelda and Pokémon on Game Boys and NES and Wii, the company dabbled in love hotels, taxi services, an instant rice company, and various other endeavors.
