Nintendo is the most recognizable and greatest video game company of all time. However, there are some things that are almost guaranteed to be unknown.
1 SEXY PLAYING CARDS
Yes, you read this correctly. Some people probably know that Nintendo sold playing cards, but did you know that they resembled lust?
2 BUSHES AND CLOUDS IN SUPER MARIO BROS.
Way back when Nintendo released Super Mario Bros, their game memory was very limited. This led to all of the clouds in the sky, and bushes on the ground being the same object. Take a closer look, and you will see they are the same object.
3 A JANITOR INVENTED THE GAME BOY
Many decades ago, Gunpei Yokoi, a maintenance worker, was working on the assembly line and was building a toy that would later be known as the Ultra Hand. This was just the start, as this would eventually lead to the phenomenon known as the Game Boy.
4 DUCK HUNT
Everyone remembers Duck Hunt, but did you know that it was practically a remake of Laser Clay Shooting System? The latter was a video game from 1973, and it can be thought of as the original Duck Hunt.
5 THE NES WAS NUMBER 1 UNTIL 2006
Many people still will say that the NES is the greatest video game console of all-time. However, did you know that, until the release of the Wii, the NES held the record for console sales?
6 MARIO CAN JUMP LIKE AN NBA STAR
Some research was done, and it was concluded that Mario, in the original Super Mario Bros, had a vertical leap of 27 feet. Let’s see LeBron James try and out-jump the real King!
7 SUPER MARIO KART PRACTICED DUI
Super Mario Kart is another classic Mario game, but the characters who were driving in this game should have been issued a DUI. At the end of a cup, the racers who won are shown drinking a bottle of champagne. Smooth move, Nintendo!
