I thought I'd share this video from YouTube. This is the first part, which shows Hanafuda cards and toys by Nintendo.

On March 28th of this year, the Hankyu Department Store chain decided to hold a Nintendo Museum inside their Osaka Store for their 100th Anniversary.

The Nintendo Museum spans all the way from their early years as a playing card manfacturing company, right up to the present day's Wii console. A fasacinating insight into the world of Nintendo that any fan will get ahuge kick out of...

This is part one, covering the toy years... Part 2 will be uploaded later on today!

That is a cool video. I love the way the "People House" figure has the same face as a typical Animal Crossing human character ;D

It was neat to see the toys (well better pictures than what I have seen) of all those toys that you would have seen in the wario ware games like the chitorie (vacuum cleaner) the wild gun man and also the ultra hand. That periscope looked pretty neat too. I wonder how old it is?

All of those toys are from before Nintendo started making games, so they're from the 70s at least.

By the way, Part 2 is up.

Hey FryGuy, do you know what that bongo-looking thing is?

[Fryguy64]

It's Eleconga. I've heard of it before, but I don't know what it does exactly. I think it's a bongo synthesiser.

If you scroll to 1:19 in the first video, you will see something that looks similar to the Super Scope (a.k.a. Nintendoscope). It's on the upper-left corner of the screen.

Why must the Japanese have all the fun?!
