Wii
In the history section it should talk about how much the Wii impacted Nintendo. Nintendo is so much bigger than when they had the Gamecube. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.250.0.104 (talk) 03:34, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Nintendo Logo====Nintendo Logo
While the Nintendo Logo has been red and white for a long time they have gone to the gray and white logo now. I am pretty sure the change has been made for USA and Europe. Should Wiki update the logo with the new current official gray and white logo? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.244.207.129 (talk) 01:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- I would say so. As much as a prefer the red logo all signs point to the logo now being grey - the website uses grey, as does recent game packaging and also their corporate literature. Not to mention a Nintendo exec stated back in November that grey was the official colour. The last person to change it to grey had it reverted due to lack of consensus: I would recommend reading this essay. For the reasons discussed on the image's talk page I am changing it back and would ask that if there are good reasons for Wikipedia to use the red logo, please discuss.

Rumble
In the article it states that N64 first introduced analog but it fails to mention that it was the first to introduce rumble to a controller via the rumble pak. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.244.207.129 (talk) 02:19, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Current State of the Article
My god. This article is an absolute disaster. I'm not really sure why there are nearly no sources for this article, even though the topic here is Nintendo itself. I'd expect more from WikiProject Video games. Plus, there seems to be NO references in pop culture, only tiny mentions of it's current ventures, etc. The only partially good thing is the early history. Everything else is a mess. Information Center, you don't maintain this article like your banner says you do. You let it sit and rot into a mess, without bringing it up to a to an acceptable standard. I'm going to gather much help from WPVG, and maybe get a Gaming Collaboration of the Week. Maybe now this article can become decent. Until then, it is a sad excuse for an article with the importance of such magnitude. Dylanlip (talk) 02:58, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
I'm going to work on this a bit... so far, I've added around 10 citations, and have developed the history slightly. Good luck to me... FMasic (talk) 19:49, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
- Was just going to comment on the same thing almost. Number of issues, but im sure your aware of them. To me this stood out the most, The last paragraph on licensing seemed to me very dated and out of place. the source is from 1993. Im pretty sure alot of this hasnt been followed for a long time. Ottawa4ever (talk) 01:47, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Founding Date
The founding date on the page is wrong as it states that Nintendo was found in 1989 and not the correct date of 1889. Unfortunately I don't know how to change this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.192.208.115 (talk) 19:48, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- It's been fixed. -sesuPRIME 20:33, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Foundation date
There's something I find nonesense about Nintendo's foundation date. In the article, it says that Nintendo was founded in September 23, 1989, about 6 years after the Super Famicom was even released.
--Mr Alex (talk) 19:35, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
- Actually it says 1889, about 94 years before the Super Famicom. Joshua Scott (talk) 03:26, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Oops, my bad. I must have some kind of vision problem because I was sure it was written 1989, that makes sense now.
--Mr Alex (talk) 00:53, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Possible new section
I'm thinking that this article needs a section on success, revenue, market share, impact, legacy, a place to put the economical stuff that's in the infobox and also the numbers of consoles sold so if you graph them it looks like a backwards checkmark...I tend to ramble sometimes but has anyone thought of this? Any company article seems unfinished without it. Tezero (talk) 04:55, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Inaccuracy in Revenue Statistics
The revenue area is inaccurate the number stated is 1.8 trillion yen and should be 1,000 times that. The same goes for all other statistics in that section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eh1537 (talk • contribs) 02:33, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

- Not notable enough. Sorry. FMasic (talk) 17:58, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
Date Inconsistency
The section Electronic era (since 1975) has a minor error. It says Nintendo gained the rights to distribute Magnavox Oddysey in 1974 when it should actually be 1975.
I have a source that confirms this: http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/magodyssey.htm
Also, on this site, the Spanish article for Nintendo as well as the English article History of Nintendo state that the right was secured in 1975.
Thus, the only edit I wish to make is to change the 4 in 1974 into a 5 so that the year will instead be 1975. Please correct this and thank you.

NIntendo of America distribution center
Hello,
Under the Offices and Locations section of this article, it says that NOA has two distribution centers in both North Bend, WA...and Atlanta, Georgia. Just wanted to inform that this is incorrect. NOA does have its primary distribution center in North Bend, but that's it. There is not another center in Atlanta. Perhaps the company had one there in the past, but as of right now there is no center there. Thank you!

Edit request from Erohrmoser, 27 May 2010
In the address section, the address corresponding to Latinamerica displays "Costa del Este, Argentina (as Latamel Inc.)". It should read "Costa del Este, Panama (as Latamel Inc.)", as Latamel's headquarters are located there.
That can be verified at www.latamel.com (server currently down) and http://www.paginasamarillas.com/latamel/Panama/1_2.aspx

Can someone put a list of Nintendo's Subsidiaries on the info box?
24.115.88.249 (talk) 23:27, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed. You will need to provide us with that information. Edit requests are basically just like editing the article--you need to say exactly what should be added. Looking at the article itself, I can't tell which of the entities listed are subsidiaries, which are just branches, and which are partners. If you have a reliable source listing this information, please make a new Edit request with that list of subsidiaries. Qwyrxian (talk) 04:28, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Edit Request: Seal of Quality
{{Edit semi-protected}} The "Seal of Quality" section says "Currently, the seal makes no guarantee [...] by Nintendo.". It should say this:
- Currently, in NTSC regions the seal makes no guarantee of quality software, instead referring to the fact that the item is published or licensed by Nintendo. In PAL regions, the seal is accompanied by the text "This seal is your assurance that Nintendo has reviewed this product and that it has met our standards for excellence in workmanship, reliability and entertainment value. Always look for this seal when buying games and accessories to ensure complete compatibility with your Nintendo Product.".
Here is the source: http://www.nintendo.com.au/support/files/Wii_Manuals/WiiMotionPlusOperationsManual.pdf
- Done. I divided the text into NTSC and PAL paragraphs, added the PAL version of the seal, added that quote. If you'd like any further help, contact me on my user talk page. You might instead want to put a {{help me}} template up on your own user talk, or put the {{edit semi-protected}} template back up on this page and either way someone will be along to help you. :) Banaticus (talk) 06:59, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Licensed Nintendo distributors
Shouldn't there be some information, or a list of names at least, for distributors of Nintendo's products outside Nintendo's jurisdictions? I mean, how else would many people in the world, including South America, some European countries, certain Asian countries, Africa, and the Middle East, would be able to get their hands on Nintendo's hardware and software? I'm pretty sure some of these distributors also manage to do some localisation jobs on Nintendo's products or marketing before they release them to the public and local outlets. I know Nintendo is no Disney, and don't have some kind of official presence in every country in the world, but still there has to be some handiwork in place to attribute for everyone to enjoy Nintendo's games.

Contradiction on the circumstances under which Yokoi left
According to the article:
Amid the systems's failure, Yokoi was asked to leave Nintendo.[19]
But according to the wikipedia article Gunpei Yokoi:
His last work on Nintendo was the Virtual Boy, which was a big failure, but was not why he left Nintendo soon after. According to his colleague Yoshihiro Taki, "Yokoi had originally decided to retire at 50 to do as he pleased.
So which is it?

Earthquake
I don't know much about how Nintendo is doing because of the earthquake, but for someone who knows more I think something about that should be mentioned in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.115.88.249 (talk) 03:50, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, that terrible earthquake then a tsunami in Japan caused alot of problems. What also is much worse... is the radiation levels in Japan from the nuclear power plants that leaked. Who knows if it could devistate the whole of Japan? And we don't know as of what Nintendo Headquarters in Kyoto is going to do at the moment. —Platinum Lucario (talk) 14:38, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Kyoto is far from Sendai, so Nintendo's HQ wasn't directly affected. I don't know if Nintendo has any Sendai-area facilities. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:39, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, it's all terrible. But do we now need to update all Japan-related articles on whether they were affected? Wikipedia is not a news site. When it is clear (and sourced) that the earthquake, tsunami or nuclear accident has had a lasting effect on Nintendo, then is the time to add the info to the article.

- Nintendo was not affected very much(at least not nearly as much as Sony) because it outsources its manufacturing to China. I've heard they were not hit very hard by the Tsunami, but that's all.AerobicFox (talk) 23:50, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Income/Revenue Etc.
I came to the site for a quick look up of Nintendo's operating results. It is terrible. They should be in Dollars not only because it is the English language site but because Dollars is the standard, International method to relate financial information, especially when communicating with a International audience. I can understand feeling that this is more authentic or something but it detracts. Also, when you do express the conversion to dollars like the page does you should do so EXACTLY like you do with the Yen amount. It is ridiculous to see "cents" listed in the Dollar conversion. In my opinion this is done to "enhanced" or make it seem that the Dollar amount is greater than it is. But when I look information up on my computer I shouldn't have to squint while I count out the number of placeholders so I can make out the Dollar conversion.
Essentially, what I think should be done is that the Yen/Dollar listing should be reversed to Dollar/Yen and the Dollar amount should be estimated to no more than 3 decimal places just like the Yen amount. This is all International Standard.BinaryLust (talk) 19:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Where would this go?

Leave luck to heaven
Let's just make this clear, I am not a native/confidant Japanese speaker. Using Google Translate, I have tried unsuccessfully to translate any form of Nintendo to "leave luck to heaven", or even vice-versa. However, I did find a source earlier than the one referenced, showing this translation, from the New York Times: http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/156963-/nintendo-noscale.jpg but then again, I have found no valid source to this image. Could anyone help explain/fix/clarify the translation, or find a source to the image?
Logan (talk) 05:35, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
- There are several sources that state Nintendo means 'leave luck to Heaven,' (Or words to similar effect), including various websites and books. Google Translate is not going to say '任天堂' (NINTENDOU) means Leave luck to Heaven because it recognises it as a company name. 宮本 (MIYAMOTO) comes out as Miyamoto as it's a name, but each kanji it's made up of has a meaning. Miyamoto can literally mean, 'Base of the Shrine.' Each kanji in Nintendo has a meaning, ie 天 (TEN) is heaven, and so the combination of the three kanji symbols can mean 'Leave luck to Heaven' or 'Work hard, but in the end it is in Heaven's hands.' I could go in to more detail about the three kanji but I'm not really qualified to do so. But Japanese and English are quite different as languages so there is never a perfect translation. DarkToonLink (talk) 08:48, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
I know my say is meaningless, but I have asked a native Japanese what the Kanji means and she told me it was "In charge of heaven's gate". Just throwing that out there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.190.189.89 (talk) 16:59, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

This section is getting removed as NPOV towards the reaction. I don't think it is, it mentions that Nintendo is just embracing its copyright, it mentions how people have reacted, its well cited. I do not think it's NPOV.--occono (talk) 14:44, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Franchise List
Taking this to talk. I believe that the franchise list must remain minimal per Template:Infobox company regarding the products parameter: "A representative selection of the company's well known current and/or former products, listed alphabetically." To that end, I believe the list should be as follows:
- Donkey Kong — Obvious need for inclusion
- Kirby — Many games on multiple consoles and handhelds, Nintendo celebrated 20th Anniversary, Virtual Console re-releases, appears in all Smash Bros. games
- The Legend of Zelda — Obvious need for inclusion
- Mario — Obvious need for inclusion
- Metroid — Many games on multiple consoles and handhelds, Wii-control re-releases, Virtual Console re-releases, appears in all Smash Bros. games
- Pokémon — Obvious need for inclusion
- Star Fox — Multiple games on multiple consoles, first game packed with Rumble Pack, appears in all Smash Bros. games
- Wario — Appears in own series and in extensive Mario universe-related games like Mario Kart and Mario Party
- Yoshi — Obvious need for inclusion
I believe all of the reasons stated above support their historical importance to the company. The following items I do not believe merit inclusion, all because—though better-known to VG article editors like ourselves—they can hardly be considered generally well known or representative of the subject of Nintendo as a whole: Pikmin, F-Zero, Fire Emblem
If anything else need be added or removed from either list, please discuss it here. DKqwerty (talk) 03:39, 6 September 2013 (UTC) NOTE: em dash and following text in above list not meant for article.
Second-Party Studios
Why are the likes of Square Enix, Namco Bandai, Tecmo Koei and Sega being listed as second-party Nintendo studios? This is simply false, these are not second-party Nintendo studios. A second-party video game developer is a development studio is one of two things:
1. An independently owned studio which is contracted to the platform holders to produce games exclusively for that platform. 2. A studio which is partially or wholly owned by the platform holder (i.e. a subsidiary) and produces game exclusively for that platform.
These companies are certainly neither of these things. They're third-party developers in that they have no special contract with Nintendo to produce games exclusively for their platforms (they produce games for all platforms), Nintendo has no ownership over them and they publish most of their games themselves. These studios simply have an affiliation and a good relationship with Nintendo and make some games for their platforms, this however does not make them second-party developers.
This list of studios needs to be heavily edited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.66.73 (talk) 07:36, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

n 1979, Gunpei Yokoi, traveling on the Shinkansen, saw a bored businessman playing with an LCD calculator by pressing the buttons. Yokoi then thought of an idea for a watch that doubled as a miniature game machine for killing time.[3] The units use LR4x/SR4x "button-cell" batteries, the same type used in most laser pointers or handheld calculators. Different models were manufactured, with some having two screens and a clam-shell design (the Multi Screen Series). The Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS and Game Boy Advance SP later reused this design. Titles available in Game & Watch form vary from Mickey Mouse to Balloon Fight, including Nintendo staples such as Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, and Mario Bros.. For a more complete list, see List of Game & Watch games. The modern "cross" D-pad design was developed in 1982 by Yokoi for the Donkey Kong handheld game. The design proved to be popular for subsequent Game & Watch titles. This particular design was patented and later earned a Technology & Engineering Emmy Award.[4][5]

Logo 1970-1972?
I think that this is the logo of Nintendo that took between 1970 and 1972, which has no image.--Jvjordi1 (talk) 20:25, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

"In 1998, nine years after the Game Boy was launched, the Game Boy Color was released. Its predecessor was the Game Boy Advance." <- Not true, should be removed. GBA was the successor.
"In 2005, the Game Boy Micro was released, a version of the Game Boy Advance with a smaller form factor" <- Addition. "Game Boy" refers to the original Game Boy releases in 1989.
Done Both are correcting factual errors. Thanks for finding them! --McDoobAU93 14:56, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
Too Many pic logos
Does this page have too many pics, a few years ago an admin went on a war path about pages like this to reduce the amount of pics in each page, this page has even more than some of those pages. So does it have to many? and does there need to be a cull? --Crazyseiko (talk) 17:00, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Was wondering if someone would change the picture of the live testers on Nintendo's wiki page to the ultra hand? I would like for the Ultra Hand to be in it's place since it was the first Nintendo device to sell over 1 million units. I think it also helped save the company at the time. It was also Gunpei Yokoi's first design project for Nintendo. Would like for a picture of the Ultra Hand instead for historic purposes. Thanks.SuperChillin98 (talk) 18:58, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
Possible error in foundation date
in the current article is stated the Nintendo was founded in 23rd September 1889. However, accessing the site provided as source despite not being able to read Japanese I think is pretty obvious that the site says 22nd September as the foundation date. Someone who can read Japanese should check if I'm right and correct the information in the article.109.246.236.245 (talk) 23:48, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
Pre-War Kanji
Their original symbol shown on the site is the post-WWII Kanji ready left to right, it was originally written right to left, so the picture is actually incorrect.2602:304:CFD3:2EE0:3041:9281:1E6E:D50C (talk) 06:45, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

The Wii U and 3DS have not been replaced in 2015 nor are they due to be in early 2016. Furthermore Nintendo has not made releases for Mobile, QoL or NX in 2015. The titles in the history section should be changed to be:
2011–Present: Nintendo 3DS and Wii U
Future: Mobile, QOL, and the NX

The Nintendo logo usage guide (available at http://www.pidgi.net/wiki/File:Logo_usage_guide_-_Nintendo.pdf) shows that the space inside the "racetrack" exterior of the logo should be transparent, unlike the filled-in white that this SVG file and all of Wikipedia uses. This is also clearly evident on official web spaces such as http://www.nerd.nintendo.com/. The logo from the Nintendo UK Asset Library is the proper representation of the modern Nintendo logo: http://www.pidgi.net/wiki/File:Logo_-_Nintendo.svg. I'd like to request this at least be talked over.--JB2448 (talk) 18:59, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Nintendo NX
Could we remove this? It's totally unconfirmed. Vatmer (talk) 20:15, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
- The only mention of it Im seeing is that they're working on a product with such a name, which is the only thing that has been confirmed. I'm not sure I follow what you're getting at... Sergecross73 msg me 20:45, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
