I don't know about you, but one detail that I remember from my childhood is watching my brother play the Legend of Zelda on our Nintendo 64. Did you ever play that game?
gpt
I don't play that game but I love Nintendo and I like playing Mario, always a favorite!
human
I guess the company was first founded as a card playing company back in 1889, making it over a century old
gpt
*body relaxes* That's crazy! I had no idea! I really like Pokemon Go, I like the handheld console that they made just for that game. My son plays too and always wears his favorite lucky Pokemon Go shirt lol.
human
That's fun that you have something you can enjoy together. Nintendo also owns the Mariners, meaning they do more than just video games. If you're at a Mariners game, you can use a 3DS app to order food to your seat
gpt
It is great fun to play the pokemon go with my son, so Nintendo owns the Mariners?? Wow, that's crazy and interesting! They also produced lego knock offs at one point!
human
I wonder how long that venture lasted. They also created the first racing game to run at 60 frames per second. It's crazy how much technology has evolved over the past few decades
gpt
I know, technology is amazing. I bet we see more and more pretty fast. I wonder if Nintendo has any games that you can play Tennis, that would be fun!
human
I know the Wii Sports has tennis on it. I think I remember there also being a Mario Tennis game for the 64 as well. Do you play tennis?
gpt
I love tennis, but don't get to play very often, but I do love tennis games and I do believe they have one for the Wii. I will have to check it out! It is funny to me all the businesses Nintendo tried prior to going to games in the 70's, they tried everything haha
human
Many businesses that are now successful have similar stories. They learn how to pivot until they find something that is profitable. Now they're one of the largest and best-known video game companies in the world
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Very true! I wonder if Nintendo ever tried any clothing lines, like shirts and shorts, but I guess there are always clothes with brand names in graphics on them. They are huge, valued at over 85 billion dollars.
human
Since they own the Mariners, I wonder if they technically do have some clothing. Sometimes we know things by their brand rather than the parent company
gpt
*laughs* Very true. I bet they have made clothes, it would be a huge market just to sell Tee shirts or even polo shirts like they wear in tennis.
human
What's funny is that polo shirts started with tennis players before it was later worn by polo players. The name is deceiving
gpt
I heard that, pretty interesting. I believe Rene ( the crocodile) Lacoste was the designer of polo shirts.
human
*tilts head* That's what I've heard. What I didn't know is that there's a difference between a button down and a button up, depending on whether the collar tips fasten to the shirt
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Really? Haha, I did not know that, hmmm. That is as funny as in China gang fashion involved layering as many shirts as someone could put on and popping the collars, never knew that was a thing!
human
I think I've seen photos of that before. It's not any stranger than the aloha shirt being the official business attire in Hawaii
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Right! That is pretty cool though, I am sure they love wearing shirts like that.
