Ever wondered what Nintendo’s first headquarters looked like way back in 1889? Well, a recent photo has surfaced online showing just that. It’s Nintendo’s first headquarters in Kyoto from the company’s year of inception in 1889. It just goes to show how far the company has come.

You’re right, Commander. This is where it all begins…
This is the origin of Nintendo.
Aww! You must have been such a cute little playing card, Your Grace! :P
😯
AMAZING!
The start of something beautiful. : )
Back then, I bet they never imaged just how much of a Behemoth the company would become. Nintendo may not be perfect but they will always have a special place in my heart.
Ya. It’s also sad Satoru Iwata couldn’t see the Switch. He had to die on the bad taste of the Wii U
I’m pretty sure Satoru Iwata would have seen and experienced the Nintendo Switch. Keep in mind it was known as the “Nintendo NX” for a long time and Iwata was alive for a good chunk of that time.
They where perfect in the 80’s and 90’s , things started going downhill with the n64. (still a great console but no Nes,Snes)
I always wonder what would have happend if they payed sony for the disc based system. (if I remember correct they wanted a small % for every disc/game sold)
This mistake later created the PS1 that is probally the best console ever created after the Snes with a great library like the Snes that could all have been on the n64 if it used there disc system.
Technically, the N64 was a more powerful system. So imagine the death of the Sonyans at birth.
But this is back when they were making playing cards right?
If their initiative has always been new ways to play, they nailed that one on the head.
Oh, duh, I see Nintendo playing card co. on the sign.
Me too.
Well the company was not that big back then c:
Wow and too think, this was over 128 years ago.
I always wanted to see it, but would get nothing but a green sign.
I wonder if that’s Satoru Iwatas dads push bike. Lol
Keep in mind Iwata was the first non related to the Yamauchi family. So that’s not likely.
Maybe his dads friends push bike then!
It is incredible to see a photo of the beginnings of Nintendo.
Thats Miyamoto’s bike, back then when he used to go to work riding a bike 🙄 I love you Miyamoto 💗💗💗
Wonder if there are any original hadafuda cards intact. Imagine how much they would go for !
What kind of things were they producing back then? Board games maybe, or cards?
