Nintendo...116 Years old!?

No, you're not hallucinating, my fellow gamers. According to Wikipedia, Nintendo was founded on November 6, 1889, and its original focus was as a playing card company! :o

Shocking, yes? :o

[KorkiKid]

wow, It  must have lots of winkles! (JK) ;D

[Nabooru]

Sweet I want some cards by nintendo!

[Hi no Seijin]

I heard somewhere that Nintendo started out as a playing card company.  I think that they should resume making cards, but add themes to them, such as a Legend of Zelda theme.  I would buy a deck. :D

I already knew this, i wouldn't mind a metroid or fire emblem themed deck though!

At one point, though, Nintendo asked Disney if they could put some Disney characters on their cards.

Nevertheless, Zelda playing cards would be very cool! I think I would also buy a deck! :)

[MasterKeyX]

yea, they should sel them. Link would be the most powerful, and kirby the weakest (cause i hate kirby)

i googled nintendo playing cards and it mostly showed regular cards, they were just really yellowed and old, proving nintendo is an old company.
