Maybe it's just me, but I don't believe Nintendo was founded in 1889. {{User: Monty Mole/sig}}

:They first made playing cards, if that makes it any more believable... --[[User:YellowYoshi398|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. {{User:Knife/sig1|Sword|show me the monaay|Image:Feeling_fine_badge.PNG|Green}}

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. --[[User:Toadstool Forever|Toadstool Forever]] 02:45, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

==Campus Challenge?==
[[Nintendo World Championships|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. [[User:Super Mario 256|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.{{Unsigned|Pal101}}

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.{{User:Knife/sig}} 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? {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}

== 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. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 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? --[[User:Bentendo|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. {{User:Paper Jorge/sig}}
:... You really didn't read his comment, didn't you? He's complaining that the n64  logo is on '''THIS''' page. --[[User:Blitzwing|Blitzwing]] 12:41, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

Haha! That's much better! =) {{User:Mcoolister/sig}}

:Blitz: Wait... wut? I don't see a logo. {{USer:Garlic Man/sig}}
::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. --[[User:Blitzwing|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? {{User:Coincollector/sig}}
:Since it's the most recent logo, yes. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 21:54, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

== 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?

{{User:Miss Koopette/sig}}
:Definitely.  For every real world subject related to Mario that we cover on this website, we want to give a general background, and IMO the meaning of the name falls in that. :D Thanks for catching that! {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 17:28, 4 March 2009 (EST)

== World's Largest Bowl of Pasta ==

On August 22nd 2002, at Washington Square, San Francisco, Nintendo of America and Buca Di Beppo Resturants made the worlds largest bowl of pasta, weighing at 1480kg. Since it's a world record, should we include this in the 'Trivia' section of the article? {{User:SKmarioman/sig}}
:What do you mean by Nintendo of America? Did the company sponsor the event, or were representatives there (i.e. Reggie Fils-Aime)? More importantly, do you have a source? {{User:Mario4Ever/Sig}} 23:14, 8 April 2011 (EDT)
My source is Guiness World Records 2005. I just said all of the information that was there. I don't have any further information. {{User:SKmarioman/sig}}

-== Does Donkey Kong really count as a Mario game? ==
-Personally, I don't think so. [[User:DuchessSponge5000|DuchessSponge5000]] ([[User talk:DuchessSponge5000|talk]]) 01:08, September 11, 2021 (EDT)
-*I'm pretty sure Donkey Kong counts as an Mario game. Mario is the main character of the game and Donkey Kong and Pauline have reappeared in later titles. The [[A Traditional Festival]] quest in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' is a huge reference to that game too. There are also tons of other references of the original Donkey Kong in mainline Mario games too. {{User:WildWario/sig}} ([[User talk:WildWario|talk]]) 01:16, September 11, 2021 (EDT)

-== Wouldn’it be good to have Nintendo Direct pages.? ==
-For example a main Nintendo Direct page, would be split up into smaller pages, for example there would than be an article for Nintendo Direct - September 14, 2023, where you can see which content for the Super Mario franchise was announced/shown.
