The REALLY Weird 130 Year History of Nintendo - How History Works
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ส.ค. 2022
- Nintendo predates video games by a good hundred years, having started learning about game design as a humble card company in 1889.
Even when the fledging company was learning about game design in the playing card business it would be some time before the company settled on video games as its main source of profit.
So what was the journey from Hanafuda cards to Pokémon cards? how did they grow the video game company off the backs of a taxi firm and when did Mario change the game forever? Well it's time to learn How History Works.

Same.
Same ²
What they said
Me too
Double banger
Have you really not ever heard someone say "Kyoto" before?
This guy is pretty uninformed. He called the Famicom the Famicon and said it debuted in 1985 when it was 1983, 1985 is when the NES debuted in the states.
I learned more about modern global economics in 11 minutes than i did in a semester of college, lol.
Nice vid. please keep it up!!
Why thank you! Glad you liked it
@@HowHistoryWorks Although I've seen, read, and heard much about the history of this company. It's always nice to get that extra little tidbit that learning new things provides.
I can dig it, for now....
Pin intended.
🍾👍🥂✌
Love to see you producing more content!
Thanks! It's a lot of fun, especially when I see ya'll like it!
@@HowHistoryWorks Wishing you further success with this channel! Gotta support creators! You keep the dream alive for all of us!
@@HowHistoryWorks great work on the videos! Very well researched and presented with no fluff.
@@HowHistoryWorks Maybe Nintendo should venture to other hardware and other industries. 10:24
Maybe Nintendo Pictures should compete with Sega, just like back in the 80s, 90s and early 00s with the FC/NES vs the SG-1000, the SC-3000, and the Mark III/SMS, the OG GameBoy vs the Game Gear, the SFC/SNES vs the Mega Drive/Genesis, the N64 vs the Saturn, and the GameCube vs the Dreamcast.
This channel seems great so far, been subbed to how money works for some time now, and I'm looking forward to learning more about history on this channel.
Nintendo has a fascinating history as a business. If you're looking for more I highly recommend LowSpec Gamer's video on the development of the Game & Watch
Or watch LowSpec Gamer videos in general really.
@@ricardowilliams3765 Trying to offer a gateway drug ;)
E.T. game cartridges were buried in Alamogordo, New Mexico landfill, not Nevada
I love how cold and direct you are in telling certain truths, it's good that you expand into history.
Glad to see you posting about History too. Look forward to learning from you
It's a bit distracting to hear Miyamoto, Yamauchi, and Kyoto mispronounced like this when it's easy to find their proper pronunciations.
he even got miyamoto's (sur)name right at first, then switched it up to "my-a-moto"
amazing
He's the peak American. Monolingual par excellence
Gunpei Yokoi died in 1997 not 1987. He left Nintendo after the failure of the virtual boy, but formed his own company inventing Tamagotchi and led the design for the wonder swan.
Yeah this guy isn’t qualified to make this video.
Love history of big businesses, love the info and the style
Omg how is it only 600 views in two weeks? Brilliant and very underscored.
Let's keep this series going!
Will be doing a history of businesses series
Just found out about the channel from your stop investing video and now I'm writing this comment to boost engagement as I've subbed to this one
Thanks aL!
Definitely plug this channel in hmw once n a while. Solid stuff.
XBOX, PLAYSTAION, STEAM, VALVE. Thank you soo much for this one!
WOW, the new channel is great
Thanks you :)
In today's corporate climate, where basically every corner of every niche is already covered by some multi million dollar conglomerate, pulling off this feat is nigh impossible.
*It's a shame really.*
Yamauchi is the family name so of course they are all the same name😂. Their given names would be : Fusajiro, Sekiryo and Hiroshi
Actually, Sekiryo wasn't Fusajiro's son but his son-in-law. Indeed Fusajiro only had daughters. So the husband of his elder daughter, Sekiryo Kaneda, took the name of his wife to lead the family business. Sekiryo will also have 2 daughters, and the husband of the one inheriting the playing cards business will eventually leave his family. Their kid, Hiroshi will eventually take his mother's name, Yamauchi.
@@Clery75019 in Japan it's not uncommon for men to take on their father-in-law family name as a way of kind-of adoption. Usually because of big inheritance, the name has more prestige, because the father-in-law has no male heir or a combination of those. My understanding is that Hiroshi was born with the family name Yamauchi.
@@AlexTamayo. Probably. From what you tell, it would make sense that his father, Shikanojo Inaba, renamed himself Yamauchi when he married Kimi Yamauchi, Sekiryo's daughter. As such, Hiroshi would be named Yamauchi from birth. Hiroshi was 6 years old when his father abandonned his family.
@@Clery75019 My understanding is that most of the patriarchs of the Yamauchi family weren't born with the Yamauchi family name including Fusajiro, who founded the company. I think Hiorshi was the only man in that family born with the Yamauchi surname. 🤷♂
oh the irony that Disney let Nintendo put Mickey's face on their playing cards, and now Mario's face is more recognizably than Mickey's
I'm also aware of the weird history of Nintendo from the show High Score on Netflix I never expected Nintendo to make an entire theme park called Super Nintendo Land or make the Super Mario Bros. Movie and yet here we are. I also want to point out that some of Nintendo's past is incorporated in the video games that they made just to show how everything is incorporated on Nintendo's part. On the bright side, since I saw the Nintendo Direct I can't wait to play Super Mario RPG and Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
Please keep doing video like this cause I'm going to launch a Game Studio
You pronounce Kyoto --- Kayouto...?
I like your content in general and Liked this one too to show support. But this one was difficult to follow for me. Maybe there are too many foreign names to keep track of or too much information packed in. Your investment videos are more structured and lean. Anyway, good luck with the new channel..
Yeah, I find the Romanized Japanese names hard to follow too. Maybe it would be easier to print their names in it's original writing.
I appreciate the feedback. I'll figure out how to recalibrate
Where did you do all this research from ?
Really interesting. However, compared to your how money works there is room for improvement. I felt like there was a lot of information and had a hard time following through everything. Keep up the good work though!
Fascinated
Kaioto?!?!?! 😂
You tryna make a company of this like Linus Media Group ?
Indeed we are :)
So which other Works is in works for works media?
respect to the og entrepreneur
You have a new channel? 1 month ago? I didn't made a splash in my feeds.
According to MatPat if you start a new channel, upload a lot of videos on the first day.
He launched his new channel with 6.
But I digress, he has a team behind me (bit equally busy with other projects)
I started this months ago and wanted to add enough videos so that if you wanted to binge watch you had others to watch too. Good for the algorithm as well
I’m sorry, but there’s a lot of inaccuracies in this video. The most glaring is that Yokoi died in 1997 in a car crash. 8 years after the game boy was released
Commenting here for historical purposes
A minor correction, but the copies of ET being buried in the desert was the more famous crash of 1983, not the 70s one
I highly suggest that you find a good source to learn how to pronounce names that are in languages you aren't a native speaker of.
here for it from how money works
Always remember to fact check
oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
oh ttttttttttttttttt
Ah, I See You're a Man of Culture As Well
Great video! However, some of your information in this is incorrect.
Gunpei Yokoi died in 1997, not 1 year after the release of the game boy in 1989. He actually left Nintendo in 1996 after the failure of the Virtual Boy.
Segali?!
Am i the only who hears 2 narrating voices?
Wow it's not like the nes and game boy came out in 2022
The pikachu love hotels would be weirdly popular with furries here in America. I kinda wish you hadn't put the idea out there, haha. hah.. Oh no.
If someone starts opening these I'll know who to blame 🤣
As a matter of fact, the love hotels story isn't documented. Historians couldn't find any evidence of it in Nintendo's historical accountings. So, if the story is real, then the business was directly founded by Hiroshi Yamauchi independently from Nintendo.
And unlike Nintendo, which success was largely based on their luck, this channel is destined to succeed
Dude, the horrendous pronunciations of names, and places, in this was painful. Jesus Christ. Lol
You missed the part that Nintendo used to be a brothel back in 1800s. 😅
True Story!
Change the name to how Gaming works or do another channel about it
I am enjoying the history but I am only 3 and half minutes in and I feel physically assaulted by these pronunciations.
All of the butchered Japanese names made watching this very painful. You didn't even get "Kyoto" right.
This video has so many basic mistakes. Here's a new word for you - research!
Can you make a channel called how girls work and how you can get them?
Pretty good video, but your Japanese pronunciations need some work.
The brothels completely glossed over here?
It wasn't brothels, it was love a hotel (VERY different things) and it was briefly mentioned in the video. 4:20
Just love nintendo. They constantly make such damn amazing games to buy and even at the end of the switch's life span it's still getting more games to play. Another thing I love about them and hope stays the same for all time is they don't make their system worthless like shit box and more and more with PS by moving all their games to other and better platforms. Literally do not need a shit box for anything since everything is multi platform with games on better platforms than that garbage. Sony is copying the idea of making the system pointless by making their games only timed exclusive. Thankfully nintendo keeps their games where they should only be, on their system. Want the damn game so much? Buy the system or emulate, simple.

Be more explicit with the links from HNW to HHW… i had to search TH-cam to find it, should have been able to reach it straight from Stop Investing
Sorry about that, Miguel. I'll edit the description to make it easier
@@HowHistoryWorks thanks! This channel is poised for explosive growth. I’ll definitely be watching
