Yamauchi Fusajiro, the founder of Nintendo, would never have imagined that his small playing card business would eventually evolve into a video game console giant. However, Nintendo’s first foray into the console market with their Pong clones, the Color TV Game series, was far from successful. Compared to its competition, the Color TV Game consoles were lacking in features and game variety. They did introduce digital scoring and colorful graphics, but their downfall was the poor quality of their paddles. Unlike traditional potentiometers used by other consoles at the time, Nintendo’s paddles were limited and lacked fine control. Despite this setback, Nintendo persevered and went on to become a force to be reckoned with in the gaming industry.
