Talk:Nintendo

Date
Maybe it's just me, but I don't believe Nintendo was founded in 1889.


 * They first made playing cards, if that makes it any more believable... --YellowYoshi398 20:38, 2 February 2007 (EST)

Hmm... time to research. They were a card company, that part is true. I believe that it was founded in 59, but I'm not completely sure.

They published a hundredth anniversary article in Nintendo Power, and I know I don't have any issues of Nintendo Power from 1959 or 2059. I could dig out the issue if necessary, but it would take some time to find. So take that for what it's worth. --Toadstool Forever 02:45, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

Campus Challenge?
This page talks of a Nintendo Campus Challenge, in which money prizes were given for top scores. Yet, besides on that page, no mention of a Campus Challenge is on the Wiki. I think it should be added here, as well as the link to that page, thus making that page no longer orphaned. ;D

Virtual boy
Virtual Boy is under handheld. Although it is portable, you must have a steady surface, and you're sticking your face into a goggle-like thing. I doubt this is considered hand-held. Super Mario 256 07:35, 22 April 2007 (EDT)

Length
Shouldn't the article be longer because they were the ones to create most Mario Universe.

You shouldn't ask people to expand articles, you should do so yourself. And yeah, I'll get back to this after I finish doing recipes and SML2 articles. 14:48, 9 June 2007 (EDT)

Already got it covered. I have expanded it, and it inludes a lot more information. I also did Gunpei Yokoi in my spare time. Oh, and Knife, you wrote "You Should ask people to expand articles". Well, I fixed it and spelled Shouldn't. However, if you intended on it being Should, then I'm sorry. Anyhoo, I expanded the article, is it good enough?

Japanese Name
Despite the fact that it may be not needed, one letter of the Japanese name for Nintendo is displayed as ? for me. The other two display correctly. - 10:06, 22 November 2007 (EST)

Terrible logo...
I don't usually post here anymore, though I just have to explain to you what a terrible choice you made for the logo. Why in the world would you choose the N64 logo over the company's? --Bentendo 11:39, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

The N64 logo belongs in the Nintendo 64 page, not the Nintendo page because this is the company's page not the system's. So I say we keep the image we have.
 * ... You really didn't read his comment, didn't you? He's complaining that the n64 logo is on THIS page. --Blitzwing 12:41, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

Haha! That's much better! =)


 * Blitz: Wait... wut? I don't see a logo.
 * In case you didn't notice the fact that my comment was posted 10 minutes ago, the image on this article was a squat n64 logo before Mcool reverted it to it's original version. --Blitzwing 12:58, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

Logo's color change
I've found recently that Nintendo logo's color scheme was changed to grey now, possibly to just make a match for the current color of the consoles (which are obviously white - or black). I have proofs both Wikipedia and the Official website. Should we change the old red logo for the grey?
 * Since it's the most recent logo, yes. 21:54, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

<- Some thing like this.

The meaning of Nintendo
Did you know that "Nintendo" means "leave your luck in heaven"? I don't know what this phase means, I just found out from the Guiness Book of Records: the Gamers' Edition. Should we mention it there?
