What some of the "joke" posts are hinting at is that Nintendo used to be in other businesses, like hotels and playing cards. And they still sell Pokemon playing cards and numerous plushy dolls and other toys. They just got out of the hotel business because in Japan some hotels are rent by the hour and is pretty much a place for people to go and make out, whether it is a married couple wanting time away from the kids or just two strangers who met earlier in a bar and that doesn't portray them in the most positive light to westerners who they are trying to sell a video game console to.
