Amazon Quiz (16th September 2021): The company that designed this video game console, was originally founded under what name?

a) Nintendo Yamaha  

b) Nintendo Yoshida

c) Nintendo Karuta

d) Nintendo Asahi

Answer: (c) Nintendo Karuta

Nintendo Co., Ltd. is a global consumer electronics and
video game corporation based in Kyoto, Japan.

On September 23, 1889, craftsman Fusajiro Yamauchi
originally founded Nintendo as Nintendo Karutain
in  Shimogy-ku, Kyoto, Japan, to make and market hanafuda (flower
cards), a sort of traditional Japanese playing card.

The word “Nintendo”
is generally misunderstood to mean “leave luck to heaven,” however
the assumption lacks historical validation.  It can also be referred to as
“the temple of free hanafuda.”

Nintendo released its first video game system, the Color
TV-Game, in 1977, after expanding into different areas of industry during the
1960s and obtaining legal standing as a public corporation under the present
corporate name. With the debut of Donkey Kong in 1981 and the Nintendo
Entertainment System and Super Mario Bros. in 1985, it acquired international
fame.

Nintendo is responsible for
some of the most popular video game systems, including the Game Boy, Super
Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo DS, Wii, and Nintendo Switch. It is
responsible for a number of well-known properties, including Mario, Donkey
King, and others.

In addition to commercial
partners like The Pokémon Company and HAL Laboratory, Nintendo has many
subsidiaries in Japan and overseas. Emmy Awards for Technology and Engineering,
Game Awards, Game Developers Choice Awards, and British Academy Games Awards
have all been given to Nintendo and its employees.
