oh the irony that Disney let Nintendo put Mickey's face on their playing cards, and now Mario's face is more recognizably than Mickey's

[@caynebyron]

Have you really not ever heard someone say "Kyoto" before?

[@jacoblipkestudios7621]

This guy is pretty uninformed. He called the Famicom the Famicon and said it debuted in 1985 when it was 1983, 1985 is when the NES debuted in the states.

[@cachalotreal]

ffs get a life instead of persistently calling out some random guy in youtube

[@jessepinkeye2339]

"Mayamoto", "Yamuchi" b for effort though

Why thank you! Glad you liked it

@@HowHistoryWorks Although I've seen, read, and heard much about the history of this company. It's always nice to get that extra little tidbit that learning new things provides. I can dig it, for now.... Pin intended. 🍾👍🥂✌

[@mage1over137]

Gunpei Yokoi died in 1997 not 1987. He left Nintendo after the failure of the virtual boy, but formed his own company inventing Tamagotchi and led the design for the wonder swan.

Yeah this guy isn’t qualified to make this video.

I love how cold and direct you are in telling certain truths, it's good that you expand into history.

[@happycoolhayden8767]

@@HowHistoryWorks Maybe Nintendo should venture to other hardware and other industries. 10:24 Maybe Nintendo Pictures should compete with Sega, just like back in the 80s, 90s and early 00s with the FC/NES vs the SG-1000, the SC-3000, and the Mark III/SMS, the OG GameBoy vs the Game Gear, the SFC/SNES vs the Mega Drive/Genesis, the N64 vs the Saturn, and the GameCube vs the Dreamcast.

[@Twisted_Logic]

Nintendo has a fascinating history as a business. If you're looking for more I highly recommend LowSpec Gamer's video on the development of the Game & Watch

[@ricardowilliams3765]

Or watch LowSpec Gamer videos in general really.

Just found out about the channel from your stop investing video and now I'm writing this comment to boost engagement as I've subbed to this one

[@HowHistoryWorks]

Thanks aL!

[@realname2566]

Definitely plug this channel in hmw once n a while. Solid stuff.

[@Zeverinsen]

In today's corporate climate, where basically every corner of every niche is already covered by some multi million dollar conglomerate, pulling off this feat is nigh impossible. *It's a shame really.*

[@phunweng962]

You pronounce Kyoto --- Kayouto...?

[@KingPoe1987]

I’m sorry, but there’s a lot of inaccuracies in this video. The most glaring is that Yokoi died in 1997 in a car crash. 8 years after the game boy was released

[@wsg94]

WOW, the new channel is great

Thanks you :)

Always remember to fact check

[@Udson82]

Kaioto?!?!?! 😂

[@HellDestroyer77]

Dude, the horrendous pronunciations of names, and places, in this was painful. Jesus Christ. Lol

[@alpmarangoz]

I like your content in general and Liked this one too to show support. But this one was difficult to follow for me. Maybe there are too many foreign names to keep track of or too much information packed in. Your investment videos are more structured and lean. Anyway, good luck with the new channel..

[@GhostZodick]

Yeah, I find the Romanized Japanese names hard to follow too. Maybe it would be easier to print their names in it's original writing.

[@HowHistoryWorks]

I appreciate the feedback. I'll figure out how to recalibrate

[@blackhaulmike]

So which other Works is in works for works media?

[@vid6819]

Yamauchi is the family name so of course they are all the same name😂. Their given names would be : Fusajiro, Sekiryo and Hiroshi

[@Clery75019]

Actually, Sekiryo wasn't Fusajiro's son but his son-in-law. Indeed Fusajiro only had daughters. So the husband of his elder daughter, Sekiryo Kaneda, took the name of his wife to lead the family business. Sekiryo will also have 2 daughters, and the husband of the one inheriting the playing cards business will eventually leave his family. Their kid, Hiroshi will eventually take his mother's name, Yamauchi.

[@AlexTamayo.]

@@Clery75019 in Japan it's not uncommon for men to take on their father-in-law family name as a way of kind-of adoption. Usually because of big inheritance, the name has more prestige, because the father-in-law has no male heir or a combination of those. My understanding is that Hiroshi was born with the family name Yamauchi.

[@Clery75019]

@@AlexTamayo. Probably. From what you tell, it would make sense that his father, Shikanojo Inaba, renamed himself Yamauchi when he married Kimi Yamauchi, Sekiryo's daughter. As such, Hiroshi would be named Yamauchi from birth. Hiroshi was 6 years old when his father abandonned his family.

[@AlexTamayo.]

@@Clery75019 My understanding is that most of the patriarchs of the Yamauchi family weren't born with the Yamauchi family name including Fusajiro, who founded the company. I think Hiorshi was the only man in that family born with the Yamauchi surname. 🤷‍♂

Commenting here for historical purposes

[@wanderingrandomer]

A minor correction, but the copies of ET being buried in the desert was the more famous crash of 1983, not the 70s one

[@adiicism]

Where did you do all this research from ?

[@maximilianfrancisfrattura2369]

Really interesting. However, compared to your how money works there is room for improvement. I felt like there was a lot of information and had a hard time following through everything. Keep up the good work though!

[@kenapsay7976]

You have a new channel? 1 month ago? I didn't made a splash in my feeds. According to MatPat if you start a new channel, upload a lot of videos on the first day. He launched his new channel with 6. But I digress, he has a team behind me (bit equally busy with other projects)

I started this months ago and wanted to add enough videos so that if you wanted to binge watch you had others to watch too. Good for the algorithm as well

[@Dhadaya1016]

Wow it's not like the nes and game boy came out in 2022

[@danielhale1]

The pikachu love hotels would be weirdly popular with furries here in America. I kinda wish you hadn't put the idea out there, haha. hah.. Oh no.

[@HowHistoryWorks]

If someone starts opening these I'll know who to blame 🤣

[@Clery75019]

As a matter of fact, the love hotels story isn't documented. Historians couldn't find any evidence of it in Nintendo's historical accountings. So, if the story is real, then the business was directly founded by Hiroshi Yamauchi independently from Nintendo.

[@jkell018]

Segali?!

kai oto 💀

Change the name to how Gaming works or do another channel about it

[@MasterTSayge]

You missed the part that Nintendo used to be a brothel back in 1800s. 😅 True Story!

[@wr41thx29]

Great video! However, some of your information in this is incorrect. Gunpei Yokoi died in 1997, not 1 year after the release of the game boy in 1989. He actually left Nintendo in 1996 after the failure of the Virtual Boy.

[@bfrost7]

is this made using an AI voice, saying kyoto, miyamoto, and yamuichi incorrectly? down vote just on that

[@chibiusa]

All of the butchered Japanese names made watching this very painful. You didn't even get "Kyoto" right.

[@gabomur]

A lot of misinformation but well hahahaha

[@RetroJack]

This video has so many basic mistakes. Here's a new word for you - research!

[@GuillerMak37]

Pretty good video, but your Japanese pronunciations need some work.

[@jordandavis9723]

Bro i know you're not doing it on purpose but the mispronunciations are so bad, i cant continue the video. You're skipping whole ass letters and pronouncing some as if they are hispanic names.

[@saibadam]

Can you make a channel called how girls work and how you can get them?

[@kolz4ever1980]

Just love nintendo. They constantly make such damn amazing games to buy and even at the end of the switch's life span it's still getting more games to play. Another thing I love about them and hope stays the same for all time is they don't make their system worthless like shit box and more and more with PS by moving all their games to other and better platforms. Literally do not need a shit box for anything since everything is multi platform with games on better platforms than that garbage. Sony is copying the idea of making the system pointless by making their games only timed exclusive. Thankfully nintendo keeps their games where they should only be, on their system. Want the damn game so much? Buy the system or emulate, simple.
