| + | Nintendo is a great game company. Nintendo has been doing better than [[SEGA]]... [[Image: 150px-Nintendo.svg.png|thumb|*Coin sound*]] |

| |
− | [[File:Nincard.jpg|thumb|right|Did you know that Nintendo once made (and today still makes) playing cards, both [[Japan|Hanafuda]] and [[English]] style?]]
| |
− | [[File:Colourtvgame15bravo.jpg|thumb|right|The Nintendo Colour TV Game 15, Nintendo's 2nd console, made in 1978.]]
| |
− | Nintendo is the greatest video gaming company of all time, particularly if you are [[Japanese]], [[America]]n, [[Korea]]n (unless reminded that Nintendo is Japanese), [[China|Chinese]] (to the point of [[Illegal|piracy]], in fact), or [[Taiwan]]ese. Some random [[:Category:Europeans|Europeans]] disagree, but nobody cares.
| |
− | | |
− | Also, they've been around for over 100 years, although in their older days, they used to make Hanafuda cards, and eventually [[English]]-style 52-card decks, both of which are still produced in Japan.
| |
− | | |
− | Nintendo despite having loved franchises such as Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Pokémon and others is also a company very known for their shady practices. One is that in the mid [['80s]], they forced most of the leading publishers and developers (such as [[Capcom]], [[Metal Gear Solid|Konami]], Technos, Atari/Tengen, and even [[Tekken|Namco]].) to sign a vicious contract that won't allow them to develop on any other console. | |
− | | |
− | Then again they did make [[Super Mario Bros. 3]] and Punch-Out!!, so yeah...
| |
− | | |
− | Oh, I almost forgot to mention that Nintendo <s>is</s> was the majority owner of the [[Baseball|Seattle Mariners]]. Yeah, ''that'' Seattle Mariners team that used to have Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro Suzuki.
