History of Nintendo

E3 Nintendo

Nintendo is literally changing the game, and this is only the beginning, whether veteran gamers like it or not. As they attract new customers, old people, young people, girls who don't already play videogames and people who look down on them, we can take a brief look at the company itself.

Founded by Fusajiro Yamauchi in 1889, Nintendo started in the playing cards game. Today the company is led by Satoru Iwata, the fourth and current president. Nintendo is one of the largest companies in Japan and was instrumental (if not the sole catalyst) in re-creating the videogame market.

Nintendo's near monopoly on the home video game market left it with a degree of influence over the industry exceeding even that of Atari during Atari's heyday in the early 1980s and today it seems that Ninendo sells less but makes more money. It has been profitable practically every year since it moved into the video game industry over two decades ago and has long held a dominant position in handheld gaming, developed through a strategy of focusing on playability.

The company, Nintendo has recently gone on record to admit that demand is simply much higher than supply for their current Wii and Wii Fit while the DS is up 142% over last year. The company's own employees have even been put on a strict Wii system purchase limit.

The company says it wants to be the games company that puts smiles on the faces of people of all ages and genders, and following the sales of Wii and Wii Fit, there are likely to be grins all around at the HQ. Nintendo's official website saw the largest increase in traffic recently, while the Sony PlayStation website saw a moderate decrease.

The company's products are actually cheaper than that of the competition and are one of the oldest and most successful console game developers. If you want a console to play games or to use for excercise you won't go far wrong with Nintendo.

Video Game Industry

The video game industry has become much different from the one we were familiar with as kids as we grew up playing our Nintendo Entertainment Systems, Super Nintendos, Sega Genesis, etc. The game industry is thriving like never seen before, and is now a multi-BILLION dollar industry. No longer is it predominantly children and teenagers that compose the majority of the consumers for the industry as grown adults and even senior citizens get involved in gaming nowadays thanks to the presence of Nintendo's DS and Wii systems and their casual gamer friendly atmosphere.

As the industry grows so does the demand for employees at publisher and developer headquarters, of course. In fact, demand is higher than you could ever imagine. One position that is highly needed is game testers. Video game testers basically play a title hours on end running through it with a fine tooth comb to make sure there are no bugs or errors present in the game's design. It's a highly desirable job, and the pay is surprisingly very, very good at times. Hard to believe people get paid to test games, right? Even more so that they're getting paid handsomely to do so. But believe it, because this is big business nowadays and I'm sure all of the fine men and women who paid for and fueled their children's ability to play games as they were growing up buying console after console will be glad to see all of their hard earned money ended up being quite useful in the end, helping their children prepare for a great career in the end.

Many companies are currently hiring game testers, in fact. EA, Rockstar, THQ, Blizzard, and even Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft are all constantly looking to build to their testing teams. The best part? You don't even have to know someone to get involved with the industry anymore! There are tons of guides and books that can show you how to become a video game tester out there and give you all of the contact information you need to be getting in touch with these companies ASAP and help you start playing video games for money quick! And they can be had at a very reasonable price. So what are you waiting for? Kiss your nine to fiver goodbye and start doing what you love for a living, people!
