The type of playing cards Nintendo used to produce have a high association with the gambling underground. So I presume they mean to insinuate Nintendo is associated with the Yakuza
I can not remember if this thing I read a long time ago that pretty much confirmed that Nintendo, at one point, had Yakuza members on its board was a real news article or from a fictional book (this is somewhat of a plot point in Lucky Wander Boy)… 🤔
It’s one of those things that’s been rumored about since I was a kid, tho.
I saw something similar. I wouldn’t be surprised if there still is some Yakuza connection remaining. There’s bound to be some rich, influential yakuza members that were like “Nintendo? Neat, i’mma join this” and got a position somewhere. If not by money, by influence.
