Nintendo Company, Limited (Japanese: 任天堂, ニンテンドー Nintendō; , ) is a multinational corporation founded on November 6, 1889 in Kyoto, Japan by Fusajiro Yamauchi to produce handmade hanafuda cards, for use in a Japanese playing card game of the same name. In the mid-twentieth century, the company tried several small niche businesses, such as a love hotel and a taxi company. Over the years, it became a video game company, growing into one of the most powerful in the industry. Aside from video games, Nintendo is also the majority owner of the Seattle Mariners, a Major League Baseball team in Seattle, Washington. Nintendo also purchased a sizeable portion of Gyration Inc, a company specializing in gyros and motion sensors, in 2001. Currently, Nintendo's main competitors on the gaming front are Sony and Microsoft.

Nintendo has the reputation of historically being both the oldest intact company in the video game console market and one of the most influential and well-known console manufacturers, as well as being the most dominant entity in the handheld console market. They first started making home video game machines in the Japanese market in 1977, and progressed to the North American market in 1985, finally arriving in the European market in 1986. Over time Nintendo has manufactured five "Color TV Brand" dedicated consoles, as well as five other home video game consoles — Famicom/NES, the Super Famicom/Super NES, the Nintendo 64, the present GameCube and the upcoming Wii. This is in addition to a plethora of different handheld portables, as well as seven versions of their popular Game Boy, the Game & Watch, the Pokémon Mini, the Nintendo DS and the ill-fated Virtual Boy. They have published over 250 games for their own consoles (and produced two games for the Atari 2600), directly developing at least 180 of them. Nintendo have sold over two billion games worldwide.

Nintendo's mascot is Mario, who was created by Shigeru Miyamoto.
