Nintendo Co., Ltd. (任天堂株式会社, Nintendō Kabushiki gaisha?) is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics company located in Kyoto, Japan. Founded on September 23, 1889 by Fusajiro Yamauchi, it produced handmade hanafuda cards. By 1963, the company had tried several small niche businesses, such as a cab company and a love hotel.
Nintendo developed into a video game company, becoming the most influential in the industry[citation needed], and Japan's third most valuable listed company, with a market value of over US$ 85 billion. Nintendo of America is also the majority owner of the Seattle Mariners Major League Baseball team.
The name Nintendo can be roughly translated from Japanese to English as "leave luck to heaven". As of October 18, 2010, Nintendo has sold over 565 million hardware units and 3.4 billion software units.
Nintendo was founded as a card company in late 1889, originally named Nintendo Koppai. Based in Kyoto, Japan, the business produced and marketed a playing card game called Hanafuda. The handmade cards soon became popular, and Yamauchi hired assistants to mass produce cards to satisfy demand. Nintendo continues to manufacture playing cards in Japan and organizes its own contract bridge tournament called the "Nintendo Cup".
we'll come back down
you can find where we are
life slips by on an absent mind
you still smile and it picks me up
i've been staring at the window thinking
where are you?
i've been staring at the window thinking
where...
come back down
do you know where you are?
life slips by on an absent mind
we have time to let goodness grow
i've been staring at the window thinking
where are you?
i've been staring at the window thinking
where...
i've been staring at the window thinking
where are you?
i've been staring at the window thinking
