Kick ass videogame company. Saved the industry in the 1980s, went downhill since, yet still are more profitable than any other videogame company (Yes, they make more $ than Sony does, because they actually make their own games. Today many jerkoffs knock Nintendo citing that their games are "kiddy" These are the same kinds of idiots that buy the Playboy videogame and think they're cool and mature because they only play games with blood and guts. A videogame is good if it is fun, and Nintendo doesn't need to rely on shock value, a la GTA, to make good games.

Nintendoitis (noun) This condition usually occurs after you've played a console game too long. But was prominent with the original Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1985 with the original box controller. After many long hours of gameplay be it Zelda, Mario or Contra or whatever game you were playing, you would begin to feel pain in your thumbs and it would work its way up throughout your hand. But you usually wouldn't stop playing because you wanted to beat the game. But this condition can still occur with just about any game console controller.
Sam: Yo man I'm going to beat this PS3 game.
Tony: Ok I'll go watch a movie.
*three or four hours pass by Tony walks back into the room seeing Sam still at it.*
Tony: So how much further do you have to go in the game?
Sam: I'm almost finished but I'm developing a bad case of Nintendoitis.

Only insulted by those who dont understand their history, innovation or excellence, Nintendo is making a comback in the present time (2006). They started out as a japenses card maing company 100 yrs ago, asd ar enow one of the three giants of trhe gaming world. The predjudice against them are mainly they are a kiddy console or that they arnt very good. THis is rubbish. Nintendo are beating Microsoft and in some cxases Sony in the he gaming market. THis is coming from a SOLELY gaming compmany going head to head against HUGE corperations, with extra-curiccular money spinners. Nintendo will endure and release the best games. Fact. Nintendo have never ripped off. This is impossible, as 90% of the games people claimed to have been "ripped off" have been made AFTER the nintendo ones. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT! Nintendo are quaality over quantity and any arguemtn against them will be won. Nintendo invented 90% of the technology and inovations in todays gaming market. We take on allcomers. Fact.
Microsoft: haha look at our new wireless joypad with a d-pad and everything!!! OMG why are you ripping of Halo with Goldeneye and Metriod??
Nintendo: *sigh*

Nintendo, the company made famous for the NES (Nintendo Entertainment system) and the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment system) was originally a card game manufacturing company, which became popular in Japan. They later became a video game manufacturing company. Their first consoles were a series of "Color T.V. Games." Then created the NES. Which was popular for the Super Mario Bros. game, which the main character, Mario, set a staple for Nintendo. The SNES came along, followed by the Nintendo 64. Until 2001, the GameCube came, and Nintendo was presumably put into Third Place in the Console Wars (see article for details) and lost the 2001-2004 Console race. Then, in 2004, Nintendo released a new, portable, gaming device, The Nintendo DS (dual screen.) When 2006 rolled along, Nintendo revealed their new console, the Nintendo Wii. Using motion sensing technology, it inspired many to get off their couches and actually feel as if they were inside of the game.

A: The games company that created Mario, Donkey Kong, invented the Shoulder Button, D-Pad and bought the world pokémon...sadly. A games company who are often underestimated due to the idiocy of there central fanbase, and stereotyped due to the idiocy of rival fanbases.
The company are still making games today, and are often overlooked due to a different and refreshing approach. Although they are prefered by some gamers for there innovation, who's willingness to take risks instead of churning out numerous near identical updates to once successfull games (see:EA) is often overlooked by the now saturated games industry.
The fans of Nintendo are often critisized for there single viewed devotion to Nintendo, which is true of many of them, who, confused by the superiority of the N64 still can't see that even though they have been devoted fans of nintendo for the majority of there natural lives, that other games machines exist to, (see:sonyroolzfor this in reverse) and that nintendo are currently screwing there loyal fans by forcing them to buy Game Boys and other needless apparels just to play there most "Innovative" games.

B: A Japanese saying translating to "It's In The Hands Of The Gods Now"
A:

1: Nintendo are 7h3 |~0><0|~5 because I wish it was still 1998.

2: Nintendo are crap because I am as single minded in my devotion to sony/x-box as I say their fans are to them.

3: Nintendo are a games company who are prefered by some people, and not by others.

4: Nintendo stole all there ideas for metroid from Halo, which I play online due to the Origonal Nintendo's modem setting precident back in 1986, whilst using my joypad the size of a housebrick which has analogue technology, shoulder buttons and a layout/colour scheme stolen from a 14 year old nintendo console.

5: Nintendo, Sony and X-box are part of the console wars, a futile war between people who can't quite grasp the concept that no company is 100% infallible and needing reconpence for there own failing existance.

B:
1: Regardless of people arguing about pathetic little preferences, Nintendo.
