Our fine Japanese friends at Nintendo weren't always in the video game business. Many people know that for years prior to Nintendo's first foray into actual "Video Gaming", Nintendo produced toys and games in Japan.

It just so happens that one intrepid individual has collected pictures of many examples of pre-NES/Famicom Nintendo products and they're great examples of 70's and 60's kitsch.



From board games to a Colt Single Action Army light gun for children, Nintendo was innovative even before "old school gaming" meant anything.

Very interesting and worth a look.
