Here's an incredible look at Nintendo's first HQ back in 1889
Nintendo boasts perhaps the richest history among video game companies, having been founded back at the tail-end of the 19th century. Now we have a fascinating look back at those early days thanks to a recently-unearthed photograph.
The image purports to show Nintendo's first headquarters in Kyoto from the company's year of inception in 1889, and comes via a blog post on French publisher Omake Books' site exploring the genealogy of founder Fusajiro Yamauchi.
Nintendo was first founded as a card manufacturer, the business built around the popular game of Hanafuda. You can learn more about all that in Chris Bratt's wonderful video posted below.
