        Nokia started as a paper mill company and sold toilet paper. With the release of the Nokia 9 PureView smartphone, nobody expected Nokia to release bog roll along with it.

          I was going to make the same sort of metaphor with Nintendo until I looked it up and saw that they still produce playing cards 🙃

            Do they make actual basic playing card decks, or just video game merch themed decks?

              Both, I think! Nintendo was originally a company that made generic playing cards. They’re extremely old too. I haven’t looked recently but I think they were around before ww2?
