  1. Go to Nintendo's website or search Wikipedia - that's got loads of useless and useful info
  2. From Wikipedia: "Nintendo Company, Limited ( is a Japanese multinational corporation originally founded on September 23, 1889 in Kyoto, Japan by Fusajiro Yamauchi to produce handmade hanafuda cards. In the mid-twentieth century, the company tried several small niche businesses, such as a love hotel and a taxi company.Over the years, it became a video game company, growing into one of the most powerful in the industry. Aside from video games, Nintendo is also the majority owner of the Seattle Mariners, a Major League Baseball team in Seattle, Washington. They also are the partial owner of the Atlanta Hawks, an NBA team in Atlanta, Georgia. Nintendo has the distinction of historically being both the oldest intact company in the video game console market and one of the largest and well-known console manufacturers, as well as being the dominant entity in the handheld console market. As of December 1, 2006, Nintendo has sold over 387 million hardware units, and nearly 2.2 billion software units worldwide." The full article is pretty informative, but too long to post here so if you follow the link below you can read it in full:D
  3. The Wii is the fifth game console released by Nintendo. The console is the direct successor to the Nintendo GameCube. Nintendo states that its console targets a broader demographic than that of Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3 but it competes with both as part of the seventh generation of gaming systems. The consoles that nintendo made was conceived in 2001, as the Nintendo GameCube was first seeing release. According to an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, the concept involved focusing on a new form of player interaction. "The consensus was that power isn't everything for a console. Too many powerful consoles can't coexist. It's like having only ferocious dinosaurs. They might fight and hasten their own extinction." So basically a man named Shigeru Miyamoto made them and a man named Ken'ichiro Ashida designed them and they started in 2001 and began to make bigger and better ones

  5. look it up on the internet there is loads of info!
  6. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo
  7. Here's a history page straight from the Nintendo website: http://www.nintendo.com/corp/history.jsp If this is for school, PLEASE do NOT USE WIKIPEDIA FOR RESEARCH! EVER! It's not a credible resource. The only good thing about Wikipedia is that you can check the bottom of the page to see where the author of the Wiki article got their info from. Then, you can follow those links to an actual, credible resource. Taking info straight from Wikipedia is like using your friend's essay on AIDS as a reference material for your essay on incurable diseases. /end rant If this isn't for school, ignore the above paragraph. :-)
  8. Google is your friend... Remember that.
