He would be playing hanafuda, which is the Japanese card game that Nintendo was producing at that time. Not as funny as imagining Dracula trying to beat Ninja Gaiden or whatever.
Was that a general game or something they designed? If it's something they made "playing Nintendo" works.
I'm really overanalyzing this joke, it's funny either way, obviously.
They're traditional Japanese playing cards. They existed for centuries before Nintendo.
Fun fact: Nintendo still makes these! (Although they might be hard to find, because I think they're only sold in Japan.)
