        It’s been a bit so I may botch some of the details, but back when they were just a playing card company, the youngish CEO went to the US and toured the offices of whoever the biggest playing card manufacturer was at that time. He noticed their offices weren’t that impressive and thought, “If we remain as a playing card company, this is our ceiling.” So he started branching out into a ton of weird unrelated businesses and video games happened to stick.

        So basically thank Hoyle or whoever for having a shitty headquarters or we wouldn’t have Tears of the Kingdom.

        You know the sexy gamer girl cosplay thing that’s going on now? That was Nintendo’s idea.
