N is for Nintendo

Here are some fun facts I found about Nintendo:

-Nintendo is more than 100 years old. It began as a playing card company in 1889.

-Before Mario had a name, he was known as Jumpman in Donkey Kong. Before that, within Nintendo he was just known as Ossan, which means "middle-aged guy." The name Mario came from Nintendo's Brooklyn factory landlord.

-In real life, Mario's jump would be over 25 feet high.

-The Konami code (up up down down left right left right B A start) was originally used to help programmers skip through the game. Now it's a huge part of pop culture.

-The Legend of Zelda was the first console game that allowed you to save your game.

-The NES held the record for most console sales in history all the way through 2006, when Nintendo released the Wii.⠀

-My family's first Nintendo was not until the Nintendo64. Before that I was a Sega kid and mostly playing Duck Hunt at friends' houses.
