I begin with the most famous video game company in the world that is Nintendo, this company has had a major impact on the market for video games, because this has enhanced and mass consumption of video games globally, who has not played a Super Mario, or played an exciting Street Fighter in his console video games, but we should appoint the first company to create video games for use public is the company ATARI, who developed the first commercial video game designed to engage the public playing in the Arcade Centers.
The meaning of the word Nintendo is composed of three kanji with whom: NIN = Responsibility, TEN = The sky and DO = Temple. This means “that the sky as they send”.
But let us begin with Nintendo Company Limited (Nintendo Kabushiki-gaisha) was founded in 1889 by Fusajiro Yamauchi year, but its principles were engaged in the manufacture of card games, especially one called Hanafuda (Flowers Games) which consisted to create pairs.

The particularity of this letter is that were developed by hand, each representing figures from Matsu (pine), Ume (plum), Sakura (cherry blossom), and others. The game got so much popularity that Yamauchi was forced to hire more people to help him create huge amounts of letters.
These letters were created with colored drawings, mostly primary colors that together with a white background and applications in black had a great visual impact, which in turn was magic and relaxing. The Japanese culture since the beginning has been devoted to the preparation of pictures and plane effects arts, which have become fashionable lately in advertising, but with touches of modern and abstract by the designers of this century. (Effects that are used in advertising)

The cards were sold throughout Japan, but especially in illegal casinos, it is said that the origin of the word “Yakuza” either this card game, as it already (8), Ku (9), Za (3 ) Is the worst combination of this card game, curious .. je je je je.
But the high income of the company resulted from the president of Nintendo, made a deal with Disney to create Hanafuda cards with characters from Disney world, thanks to this sold millions of letters. This helps that Nintendo take this money and began to enter into new businesses such as taxi companies, hotels love, a television channel, etc., but all these attempts were unsuccessful and money was disappearing.
In 1975, he decided to enter the market for video games because they had a big boom, market dominated by ATARI and his game Pong. The first video game was created by Nintendo in 1978, called “Computer Othello”, then wine and other “Donkey Kong” games for the Arcade game machines, their games were carried several consoles like Atari 2600, Intellvision, etc.

Then he decided to experiment in the area of portable consoles with its online Nintendo Game & Watch, Gunpei Yokoi.
This helped create in 1980 Nintendo of America, in 1985 and then begin its golden age with the Nintendo Entertainment System console or more known as NES and the incorporation of the evolution of the Nintendo Game & Watch, the Game Boy. This development has not stopped until today in gift we can enjoy the gameplay and entertainment that modern consoles such as the Nintendo Wii and the DS; every day that we welcome the daily life and disregard for brief moments of tension everyday life.
