The History of Nintendo (1889-1980) - From Playing Cards to Game & Watch
Florent Gorges, Isao Yamazaki
Tracing Nintendo’s remarkable journey from its 1889 beginnings as a playing-card manufacturer to its emergence as an innovator in electronic entertainment, this richly illustrated history reveals how the company continually reinvented itself. The narrative follows Nintendo’s expansion into toys, puzzles, board games, electronic products, and early video games, placing each development within the broader story of Japanese popular culture and technological change. Featuring rare archival photographs, historic advertisements, and visual documentation, the book offers an engaging look at the ideas, products, and turning points that shaped Nintendo before its global video-game dominance. It concludes with the company’s early Game & Watch experiments, setting the stage for the next chapter in its evolution.
