Nintendo Factoid:

Mar 28, 2006 19:16

The consoles were named with a commonality until after the 64. They were Nintendo, then Super Nintendo, then the 64 was officially SNU which was Super Nintendo Ultra 64, but the name didn't work well in America like it did in Japan so they changed marketing strategies to just Nintendo 64 or the NU symbol. When the game cube came out they had abandoned the naming strategy altogether. Also, Nintendo roughly means " WE HAVE TRIED OUR BEST NOW ITS UP TO GOD". Nintendo was originally a card game company way back in 1889 and they have come a long way today and as far as I know are STILL the majority owner of Seattle Mariners Major League BB Team.
