Best video game company out there. Creators of thriving game series such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda and Metroid.
Twilight Princess for the Wii really beats Halo 2/GoW because of the gameplay. Sure, GoW and Halo 2 have better graphics, but they have to be the most repetitive games, and must require the least amount of skill out there. Twilight Princess has decent graphics, but its gameplay is simply amazing. You have several different dungeons and bosses to face off against, several different items to beat these bosses, and several different mini-quests to aide you in completing the game. The game requires a lot of dedication, and requires focus to complete.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is going to set the bar for Halo 3. Halo 3, which will probably be as generic of a shooter as Halo: CE and Halo 2, will only have good graphics. Not to mention that the idea of buying a small Master Chief helmet is simply retarded. Metroid Corruption will have great graphics, excellent gameplay, and awesome WiFi multiplayer.

Not to mention, Nintendo's wifi is... FREE. You may not be able to talk to people on it (but who cares, all people do on Xbox live is complain and call other people noobs). Nintendo also creates cost-effecient games.

Nintendo has created some of the greatest games of all-time. The best game has to be The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The graphics were great for it (at its time) and it had incredible game play. Halo series' gameplay, as mentioned earlier, is generic and takes no skill and concentration.
Wow! I have an assault rifle and a grenade! I'm going to throw the grenade and blindly shoot my rifle till I run out of ammo! z0mg! I GOT 12 KILLS! WOO!

The Nintendo Wii is awesome too. I recently got it a few weeks ago, and it has yet to disappoint me. The cost, a mere 250$, makes the system well worth it. The Wii ousts the 360 and the PS3 well over. One feature of the PS3, a terrible one I may add, is the fact that you cannot bring a game to someone elses house and expect to play it right away. Nooo you cannot! It costs 2$ to play a game on someone else's PS3. The PS3's six-axis controller is the biggest rip off of the Wii's wii remote/nunchuck controller.

Wii Sports, the game that comes with the Wii to teach you the usage of the controller, is decent and probably is more fun than most PS3 games.

Nintendo also has other amazing systems, such as the Game Cube, Nintendo DS, N64, Gameboy Advance (SP), Gameboy (color/pocket), SNES and NES. Not one of those systems disappointed me. I own a Wii, GCN, DS, N64, GBA, SNES, and NES. All those systems have great games to back them up.

A still-successful 100+ year old game company which once specialized in making card games. It started making video games in the 1970s and created a still-popular mascot called Mario. The company has been, and still is the console company to go to of you want quality games that last.

A games company that is supposedly always "doomed", despite the fact that they make hundreds of millions of dollars every year.

Cares about games, and the people who play them. Not about how 1337 the graphics card is, or how many celebrities they can pay to stand around and act like they enjoy they're products.

I've talked to Xbox and PS2 fans, and all they can talk about is how its compatible with all this other shit that no one really needs, and how the grapics are so damn cool. Well do better graphics make the game more fun? Does better graphics make GTA San Andreas or Halo less mindless and demeaning?

Show me any new xbox 360 or PS3 games that can rival Super Smash Brothers, or Super Mario 64, or Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
The short answer is none of them.

Not to mention the cost difference. I'm buying a game console, not a computer/dvd player/ipod.

Im sorry if you disagree, but good graphics and mindless violence do not a good game make.

The only good thing that has come out of intellegent life.

A fantastic video game company overlooked because of the waining intellect of the average American gamer, although it's still very popular in it's native Japan. Without them, the modern day video company would be in a dead end due to the arcade crash of the 1980's.

Console History:

Nintendo reinvigorated the market with the very successful Nintendo Entertainment System released in 1985; it's Japanese counterpart, the Famicom, was also very successful. Nintendo continued this success with the release of the Super Famicom in Japan and the Super NES in America and Europe. Although it faced stiff competition from the rival Sega's Genesis console, it was largely more successful with original games such as the Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past, Star Fox, Donkey Kong Country, and the ever famous Mario series. The Nintendo 64, originally called project reality or Ultra 64, was released in 1996, A year later than Sony's Playstation. The N64 sported alot of popular and high-grossing games, from original titles licensed by Nintendo like Super Mario 64 and the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, to third party hits such as Banjo-Kazooie and Goldeneye 64. Alot of games on the N64 were considered to be top notch and have gain recognition from critics and fans alike. The most noticeable games on the N64 were Super Mario 64 due to it's revolutionary breakthrough into a fully rendered 3D environment and the use of an innovative camera system, the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time due ...

Cool, awesome, radical, new, innovative, different

Great game company that makes bright fast-paced game featuring: Mario, Luigi, Fox, Link, and Samus. They invented the game boy, and after that other gaem companies copied them (Sega, NeoGeo, other assorted japanse companies) but failed. the game boy is still being made today. Alos made pokemon games, but they made up for it.
