Nintendo the company is old, that’s why they like old timers, started in 1889, I think that was before microchips. Here’s part of there story,

“Nintendo was founded in Japan on November 6, 1889 by Fusajiro Yamauchi to produce handmade hanafuda cards, for use in a Japanese playing card game of the same name. In the mid-twentieth century, the company tried several small niche businesses, such as a love hotel and a taxi company. Over the years, it became a video game company, growing into one of the most powerful in the industry. Aside from video games, Nintendo is also the majority owner of the Seattle Mariners, a Major League Baseball team in, Washington.” - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo
