Minor Problem with the Second Party Studios

In the Second Party Studios Subheading, Creatures inc. is given credit for the Mother series, i.e. Earthbound, on both this page and its own. However, to the best of my recollection and moderate research (playing the game), no mention of Creatures inc. was apparent. Rather APE and Shigesato Itoi were the ones listed in both the credits and copyrights.

Pre-War Kanji

Their original symbol shown on the site is the post-WWII Kanji ready left to right, it was originally written right to left, so the picture is actually incorrect.2602:304:CFD3:2EE0:3041:9281:1E6E:D50C (talk) 06:45, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Wii U and 3DS have not been replaced in 2015 nor are they due to be in early 2016. Furthermore Nintendo has not made releases for Mobile, QoL or NX in 2015. The titles in the history section should be changed to be:

2011–Present: Nintendo 3DS and Wii U

Future: Mobile, QOL, and the NX

The Nintendo logo usage guide (available at http://www.pidgi.net/wiki/File:Logo_usage_guide_-_Nintendo.pdf) shows that the space inside the "racetrack" exterior of the logo should be transparent, unlike the filled-in white that this SVG file and all of Wikipedia uses. This is also clearly evident on official web spaces such as http://www.nerd.nintendo.com/. The logo from the Nintendo UK Asset Library is the proper representation of the modern Nintendo logo: http://www.pidgi.net/wiki/File:Logo_-_Nintendo.svg. I'd like to request this at least be talked over.--JB2448 (talk) 18:59, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nintendo NX

Could we remove this? It's totally unconfirmed. Vatmer (talk) 20:15, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The only mention of it Im seeing is that they're working on a product with such a name, which is the only thing that has been confirmed. I'm not sure I follow what you're getting at... Sergecross73 msg me 20:45, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tatsumi Kimishima...CEO?

Tatsumi Kimishima is listed as President and CEO in this article. There's no question he is President, but is he CEO too? He's never mentioned as CEO anywhere on Nintendo sites and his official announcement makes no mention of him being CEO either - only Representative Direct (along with Takeda and Miyamoto) and President.[1] -AnonWikiEditor (talk) 06:15, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unless he gives the title to someone else, he picks up the CEO title. Cards84664 (talk) 11:09, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New Era

As soon as we get some announcements from Kimishima, Can we start a new era on the timeline? Cards84664 (talk) 11:22, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The eras listed appear to be driven by the products, not the presidents. Could argue that the "new" era began in March with the mobile announcement, though. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:20, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's a pretty big hypothetical question, considering its about "announcements" that have no context or timeline, but in general, it looks like the current "era", "Future: Mobile, and the Nintendo NX" is already mostly about future events, and rather short, so I don't understand why we'd need a new section... Sergecross73 msg me 12:36, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So you are saying that we should wait until the NX is announced at E3 next year? At that point we can change the name of the future section. Cards84664 (talk) 12:40, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The years are marked when products are released, not announced. The change from "future" to "present" will likely occur when mobile games start being produced regularly by Nintendo (I don't think side projects like Pokémon GO count). I doubt the NX will be released prior to regular mobile games, but this is merely my own thinking. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:44, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, we'll probably just change it to "Present: Mobile, and the Nintendo NX" and continue working under that, because its already so short, and most of the era span decades, so we don't really need any new ones. (And yes, Cyclone, that's a reasonable thought, as I believe they've confirmed that the first mobile game is supposed to be out in 2015, whereas they're not even discussing NX until 2016...) Sergecross73 msg me 12:49, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, just simply change it over to "Present" when the NX releases. Not like Nintendo already has a boatload of mobile games on the market currently. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 22:04, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nintendo page

its all good and should be locked nintendo Wikipedia13editor (talk) 22:15, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube policy

I am surprised at the lack of mentioning Nintendo's uniquely strict YouTube policy, with major attempts to discourage content creators and removal of videos made on older video games, which is otherwise unheard of.180.200.136.100 (talk) 02:40, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If someone could make a brief mention written based off of what reliable sources say on the matter, and keep it kept in the context of a decade spanning company, then a mention could be added, but any attempts so far have just read like disgruntled personal rants or sensationalist over-dramatics.

In the section 1979-2003 Success with video games videogames, there is a small mistake. It states that Gunpei Yokoi died on 4 october 1996. However he died on 4 October 1997. I would appreciate it if you would change it. This is a link for proof: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpei_Yokoi The sentence that needs to be changed: On October 4, 1996, famed Nintendo developer Gunpei Yokoi died in a car crash.

Jumpman name

The article states that the iteration of Mario that was featured in Donkey Kong (1981) was known as Jumpman at the time. This is largely not true, as the name never left Japan; Mario was always the name everywhere else. As this article uses an international perspective, it is incorrect to state that Jumpman was the character's name as of this game. To the majority of the world, Jumpman was only a conceptual name.

"Chips and conversion kits were shipped to America in 1981. Arakawa, his wife and a few others changed two thousand Radar Scopes into Donkey Kongs, but Arakawa knew "Jumpman" wouldn't cut it with the Americans. The character needed a real name. His breakthrough came when their landlord burst into a board meeting, demanding long-overdue rent. The man's name was Segali... Mario Segali." http://au.ign.com/articles/2010/09/14/ign-presents-the-history-of-super-mario-bros

If the Jumpman name is to be mentioned, the sentence must be reworded to reflect that it was confined to Japan. Ozdarka (talk) 03:39, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Nintendo New York store opened today!

So today on Friday February 19, 2016, the new renovated store Nintendo New York store opened up today! However, I think that the store should be mentioned on the company's template, as it was removed by a user that thought the store was "out of service" from a 05:23 10 February 2016 edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FB90:643E:1B44:0:4A:990:BB01 (talk) 16:55, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Only Nintendo of America has apparently made the switch. Nintendo's official website and Japanese twitter still have the silver logo, so until they change it/announce it, we shouldn't assume anything. We don't go ahead and change company logos to pink during breast cancer awareness month do we? ~ Dissident93 (talk) 22:25, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Cards84664: Please don't accuse me of acting in bad faith—especially when I assumed you edited in good faith. I read your edit summary and reviewed the changes. The issue is that your edit violates Wikipedia:No original research, one of the core content policies. In the first part of my edit summary, I was referring to your earlier edit; in the second, I explicitly stated my reason for reverting and linked to the policy in question. If there's still any disagreement, let's discuss it here as per WP:BRD. Thanks. —zziccardi (talk) 00:51, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, I completely understand the policy. It's just when you included the comma, I was unable to see that, sorry. Cards84664 (talk) 00:55, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, great. Sorry if my summary was a little unclear. —zziccardi (talk) 01:04, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone add "1 store (as of 2016)" to "| locations = " in the company's template, since it was removed by a user that thought that the store was "out of service" from a 05:23 10 February 2016 edit during the time that the store was under renovation and changing its name to its present form.

"Nintendo of America to sell its majority stake in Seattle Mariners"

Should we make mention of NOA's plan to sell its majority stake in the Mariners somewhere in the article? Or would it make more sense to wait until the sale is complete, then update the article to reflect NOA's former majority stake? —zziccardi (talk) 01:04, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Probably best to wait until it's done, since this article is primarily about the game company and not the fact that one of their divisions has a stake in a sports team. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 01:40, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why

are on the bottom? Can someone remove these templates as they have nothing to do with Nintendo.

Because until the sale mentioned above completes, they are the majority owner of the team? And will retain 10% ownership even then. -- ferret (talk) 00:29, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nintendo MH

codenamed new handheld console is MH. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.214.67.35 (talk) 18:21, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is to be added into Nintendo's logo history section. Nintendo is currently using a new logo as of 2016 (white on red) alongside the gray one:

Sony Computer Entertainment has higher revenue
