Nintendo Love Hotels
Rounding out our list, we have one of the weirdest Nintendo moments in history. The company is generally known for their collection of child-friendly games and merchandise. However, it seems like things were a completely different story before they invested in the world of video game entertainment. Back in the 60s and 70s, love hotels were all the rage in Japan. As the name implies, it’s a place where adults can book a room for about an hour or so and get as intimate as they wish. Needless to say, popularity also came with plenty of money if you knew how to play your cards right.
Aside from operating a taxi company called “Daiya,” Nintendo did also venture into the world of love hotels. You won’t have much luck trying to discover these establishments, however, since most of these Nintendo hotels have long since gone. On top of that, the establishments also flopped pretty badly for the company. From there, they tried to venture into playing cards before finally turning to creating video games. The rest is pretty much history. So the next time you think the Labo is the weirdest thing Nintendo has ever imagined, think again.
