Very far from the various attractions in Kyoto, but It was worth reaching It by foot. I owned the N64 and the game Cube (EURO version) and they were great! Continue on your way NINTENDO: do whatever you like dont mind what the other brands think. Davide from italy

This is where the people work who are silently killing Nintendo by only re- releasing old games, and being to lazy to even make a real new Mario kart game for many, many years. They couldn't even be bothered to create a new Mario kart game for the switch, you guessed it, the rereleased the old one...

About 2Km from Kyoto Station. It takes about 7 minutes by taxi and about 30 minutes on foot.

Kyoto is very hot in summer, so you should take a taxi if possible. Look up the picture of the exterior. The new white building and the blue sky go very well together. Compared to ours, Japan has relatively low particulate matter pollution and almost no yellow dust.

Anyway, I hope the relationship between the two countries will recover quickly.

Nintendo Co., Ltd., not at all a story of a garage and computers.

The company Nintendo, world-famous nowadays in the market of the videojuegos, has a curious beginning and we are going to place the coordinates (almost) in its origins, its initial seat in Kyoto.

On September 23, 1889, Nintendo was founded by the young Japanese artisan, Fusajiro Yamauchi, as a small manufacturing store of the popular card game, at that time, Hanafuda.

Over the years and the different difficulties, Yamauchi was making wise decisions as to focus his business in the gambling halls that grew strongly in Kyoto and Osaka, since these, had the need for a constant renewal of their decks.

Subsequently, faced with the new difficulties during and after the war between Japan and Russia, the company was saved by signing an agreement with Japan Tobacco for the joint sale of tobacco and letters (vice for all Japanese).

The next big problem for Yamauchi was his successor, having no son, he arranged the marriage of his daughter with Sekiryo Kaneda, a trusted employee of the company, who served as Managing Director of Nintendo from 1929 to 1949.

It's funny, because Sekiryo did not have any sons either, and he used the same strategy again, marrying his daughter with Shikanojo Inaba, who definitely had a son to continue with the family succession, however, Inaba, left the company and his family and disappeared. With the son of Inaba very young, Kaneda remained in command of the company and after the Second World War, the great new conflict that Nintendo survived, Hiroshi Yamauchi, happened to be the General Director of Nintendo in March 1949.

The great Hiroshi hit came in 1961, year that closed with a market share of 80% and 1.5 million letters sold after the agreements signed with Disney, a company that emerged with strength after the post-war in the United States.

After this, the company began to quote on the stock exchange and improve its results year after year to beat record in 1964.

However, soon the market was running out, they had no new agreements and Yamauchi started looking for new lines of business. He tried to sell instant rice as a food company (Sano Shokunin), then he had another failed attempt of "hotels of love" for the Japanese, unfortunate for the image of the company, and even a transport company that, apparently, was fruitful , but problems with the unions, forced him to sell his shares in this business.

Finally, Nintendo, happened to have economic losses until its rebirth with the toy sector of the hands of the Gunpei Yokoi talent, thanks to him, Nintendo recovered his business and finally managed to sell more than letters.

Later in the year 1977, Nintendo started its life in the video game industry, after the success of Magnavox 5 years earlier in the United States with the Odyssey video game console, with which we all know what it has entailed in these 41 years since then. .

On May 31, 2002, Hiroshi Yamauchi resigned as Managing Director of Nintendo after 53 years in office. It was the first time that the Yamauchi family handed over the management of the company to someone unrelated to the family.

I bought a new NintendoSwitch at 12:30 pm today. Since it was something that children wanted for a long time, I thought that I would be glad if I gave it.
The screen moves freely. I think this is strange, so I call the service center.
The right stick was crazy when operated as instructed by the operator. I could n t make any corrections and asked what I should do. ! It's about 3 hours after purchase! ?
I was told that it would take a week to 10 days to send the goods back. Only that is possible! They said. You can't get a refund!
What if this is a birthday present? I don't think you'll buy anything like this!
If you receive a purchase price, it will not respond to refunds even for defective products.
Nintendo's products have been playing since childhood. Game Boy, NES, Super Nintendo, 3DS, and so on, but I can only say that this is the worst.
Do not check the operation, just sell defective products and send them if they break down! Why do I have to go out and send me? I want to come to pick it up! ! !
Although it is only one user, it will be a big failure in the long run if it does not respond.

I'm just grateful to Nintendo for meeting Super Nintendo, Super Mario World, and The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Triforce on my third birthday, and imprinting a powerful current experience on my body to change my life. There are many ideas for each work, such as "I have such an idea", and I am impressed by the details and the world view through the works. This year is the year when USJ will be able to make SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, and I am really looking forward to providing a different level of experience where you can see the world familiar with the game in the real world. I'm a Nintendo fan until I die.
