Before making video games Nintendo had "love hotels" (no joke), Playing cards, electronic love tester machines and a toy company that was getting crushed by Bandai.

So, Nintendo originally started out in favor of prostitution if you read between the lines... Then, went on to create a device called the NES which made some people never leave their home. Thus, never get laid.

How freaking hilarious is that? icon_xd.gif

Makes it kind of hard to take Nintendo serious about parental advisory on games eh?

I played SNES my entire time through high school and I had more sex than many of my party-hard classmates.

Also I already knew that. It's not really surprising (or funny) when you take into account the fact that money makes the world go round. I think they should get back into the love hotel business. I would pay good money to spend a couple hours with a Japanese dominatrix in a Zelda-themed sex dungeon.

No way. There will be random torches all over the place and you have to light them off a four-foot stick.

It wasn't really prostitution was it? It was a Love Hotel, where couples (or... acquaintances) could meet and get their ******** on. They weren't selling the people, they were selling the room/beds beneath them.

So they were just harboring prostitution?

Something like that. I hold no grudge about their previous business either way. I just think it's funny what Nintendo's pre video game history was. I also shared this topic in gaming discussion, my own guild, and another nintendo guild i was recently accepted to. half the fun of this topic is seeing people's reactions since people sometimes only think of video games with nintendo.

Well sometimes, I suppose. I thought the main source of income with love hotels was businessmen sleeping with their secretaries and crap, but maybe that was just a daydreamfantasy.

maybe it was both, a hotel is a business where the onwer wants his money, maybe the love hotel got hookers coming in, real couples, and bosses with their secretaries and probably even a few gay one night stands. i mean, it's a hotel right? if you think about it people use hotels for these purposes on a regular basis.
