Because of decreasing/going back conversions and the bad image of the Hanafuda maps oriented yourself Nintendo under Yamauchi again. Thus a contract with Disney was negotiated over the marketing by Spielkarten with Disney motives. In order to develop further firm branches, experimented Nintendo in the meantime also with Instant rice and the establishment of a taxi enterprise, its core business however finally deliberated itself. After the entrance Gunpei Yokois in the late 60's began Nintendo 1970 to manufacture beside the maps also different toy. In addition the well-known Ultra hand in addition, "loving esters" belonged.
