Nintendo in 1889

[thanonyx]

If you could go back to September 23, 1889 and show Nintendo founder Fusajiro Yamauchi what his company would become 135 years later and the legacy it eventually builds would you do so and how do you think he would react?

If you don't speak Japanese you can bring an interpreter who does with you.

I was alive in 1889. Waiting 96 years for super Mario bros to come out was a long wait. :/

I think telling him that his company would be better known for an italian plumber and a yellow rat over mahjong and playing cards would probably blow his mind.

"show Nintendo founder Fusajiro Yamauchi what his company would become"

You mean show the poor sod how evil they become suing every one and every thing to the ground for silly shit. Take down any and all videos on youtube because frack fans. Or their pure hate for fan games that ends up being better than they could make it. Or how they decided frack having consoles that can run games. Or how they Abandon disc games in fear of piracy that they lost so many third party developers that moved to Playstation instead like Square.

And yet they are so loved they make EA envious that their fans can´t love them as much even being so damn crap.

I use to love Nintendo but no anymore.

I don't think that part would bother him that much considering the Yakuza connections to old school Japanese businessmen. If they couldn't bully with lawyers, they would find other ways to accomplish that.

he would probably struggle to comprehend what a video game console is but he would still be impressed by how crazy this piece of tech is and the fact he started one of the biggest ones

Like a proud dad of course, or like finding out a magic

Somehow, I suspect he'd be more surprised over the time travel than anything his company ends up doing.

But it was worth it.

From gambling cards to gaming consoles this is crazy to say the least.
