The [[history of Nintendo]] began when craftsman [[Fusajiro Yamauchi]] founded the company to produce handmade ''[[hanafuda]]'' playing cards.

Nintendo developed its first [[Arcade game|arcade games]] in the 1970s, and distributed its first system, the [[Color TV-Game]] in 1977. The company became internationally dominant in the 1980s after the arcade release of ''[[Donkey Kong (1981 video game)|Donkey Kong]]'' (1981) and the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], which launched outside of Japan alongside ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in 1985. 

Since then, Nintendo has produced some of the most successful consoles in the [[video game industry]], including the [[Game Boy]] (1989), the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] (1991), the [[Nintendo DS]] (2004), the [[Wii]] (2006), and the [[Nintendo Switch]] (2017). It has created or published [[List of Nintendo franchises|numerous major franchises]], including ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', ''[[Animal Crossing]]'', and ''[[Pokémon]]''.
