akaDRooPY:
if you say nobody knows them... then how can you call them "basic" questions?

BL7:
I think the word Nintendo means nostalgia, or some shit.

Because we're asking questions about a business, that are basic questions.  When was it founded? What does the name mean?  That's basic.  If I asked you the middle name of the guy who worked payroll, that'd be pretty complicated.  

Trauma-san:
E. Rizo had the right idea.  Nintendo started in 1889 making a japanese card-game.  At the time they were all made on seashells, and this guy Yamushi who started it got the bright idea to make them more standardized and made out of high-quality materials.  They became the biggest playing card company in japan, and through successors, trickled down to the man who just retired as president.  

Nintendo means (roughly)  "Leave Luck to God"; or "At the end of the day, it is in God's hands".  (It's hard to translate into english, basically the idea is that you should work as hard as you can, but you'll need god's assistance to be successful).
