Nintendo comes from the idiom "Man proposes, God disposes". In 1980s, President Yamauchi changed his main business from playing cards to computer game machines. In 1970s, American Atari started a high-tech computer game industry. Coincidentally, Nintendo, a Japanese company specializing in computer games, caused an uproar when it put its home computer game console (FC) on the market in the early 1980s. This small Japanese company with less than 1000 employees has fallen far behind the internationally renowned big companies such as Panasonic, Hitachi, Toshiba and Sony. -1993 per capita profit of $800,000; 1994, the company's pre-tax profit ranks second among all Japanese listed companies, second only to Toyota, the overlord of the automobile industry. Nintendo has been manufacturing and selling poker and other gambling equipment for a long time, and has been wandering for more than 100 years in a difficult course. It was only in the hands of Pu Yamauchi that he took the risk of huge sums of money and positioned his main business as a computer game machine. Yamauchi's "betting" game industry faced the harsh reality: at that time, Japan was facing an oil crisis and its economy continued to slump for three years; American gamers are also beginning to get tired of old-fashioned programs, and the sales of game consoles have fallen to an all-time low. However, from the temporary recession of the market, Yamauchi Pu, who has a unique eye, saw the development prospect of cheap home game machines. In order to attract customers, other manufacturers announced that their game consoles can not only play games, but also have learning functions, which can help children learn, calculate and type; Yamauchi Pu did the opposite, publicly claiming that the only function of Nintendo FC game console is to play games. Removing multiple functions is the secret weapon for Nintendo FC game consoles to win at a low price. However, it is two young gamers who really bring development opportunities to Nintendo. One is a native Japanese, and the other is far from the former Soviet Union. Shigeru Miyamoto, a young Japanese painter, loves comics and movies, but he only knows a little about computer technology. He stayed in Nintendo for three years and achieved nothing. He was sent by Pu Yamauchi to the engineering department to help design the game. The first fairy tale game designed by Shigeru Miyamoto was called "donkey kong", and the hero was a stupid carpenter with a big nose. The second game made Shigeru Miyamoto's life shine. When he finished writing the game script, he never thought that the protagonist "Mario" would later become famous in the world and break into thousands of households. Mario took Super Mario Bros. as the official name of the software, followed FC game console to the United States, and immediately became the most popular computer game in history. From 1985 to 199 1 year, a * * * launched eight generations and sold 70 million sets. Mario later became the center of many American movies, TV series and comics, which made American children spend more time on Nintendo than watching TV. "Super Mario" and the accompanying 100 Nintendo computer game program cards simply turned the American entertainment circle upside down, and some people repeatedly exclaimed that Nintendo had brought "cultural aggression" to Japan. When Nintendo set fire to Super Mario all over the world, a young man in the former Soviet Union, Pa Chinov, was also addicted to computer games. Pa Chinov came across an intelligence test book written by an American mathematician. There is a jigsaw puzzle, which requires readers to select some irregular squares and piece them together into squares to test the geometric thinking ability of the subjects. There are thousands of arrangements of geometric figures, and PaChinov thinks it is best to use computers to help realize them. After repeated thinking, he designed a computer-based jigsaw puzzle: four tiles with different shapes fell randomly from the top of the screen in turn, and the player had to fill the gap with them before they fell to the bottom. The game seems very simple, there is no innovation in technology, but it is very attractive. Pa Chinov named his "invention" Tetris, which stands for "four" in Greek-this is the embryonic form of Tetris which will be popular all over the world in the future. Before the disintegration, the Soviets didn't have much sense of goods. Inadvertently, Pa Chinov's "box" quietly spread all over the country and crossed national boundaries. At this time, Nintendo has just launched the handheld GB computer game machine-"Game Boy", and Tetris is naturally the best partner of GB computer game machine. Yamauchi did not hesitate to send the strongest negotiator to Moscow to buy the patent right from PaChinov's research institute. Tetris accompanied Nintendo on another expedition, and it was not only the United States and Japan, but also the computer game machine market in China. Since then, Nintendo has dominated the global computer game industry for more than 10 years. Nintendo was founded on1September 23rd, 889. At first, it was a small company founded by Fukujiro Yamauchi, specializing in making a Japanese handmade card called Hanako. 1963 officially changed its name to Nintendo Co., Ltd., and Nintendo once developed various businesses such as hotels and video game companies. In addition, Nintendo owns the Seattle Mariners of Major League Baseball. Business gradually turned to electronic products, and then developed the influential Famicom Nintendo game console, which soon became the largest video game company in the world. Later, the advent of Super Famicom, N64, GameCube, Wii and other consoles consolidated Nintendo's position in the video game industry until today. Nintendo is the longest-lived video game platform company in history, the most influential and well-known game platform manufacturer and the leader of portable game platform. They 1983 developed in Japan, and later developed in different regions, such as North America 1985 and the European Development Department 1986. Nintendo is headquartered in Kyoto, Japan.
