'''Nintendo Co., Ltd.''' (任天堂株式会社 ''Nintendō Kabushiki gaisha'') is a Japanese multinational corporation best known for their home [[video game]] consoles and for their game franchises such as ''{{w|Super Mario}}'', ''{{w|The Legend of Zelda}}'', ''[[Samus Aran|Metroid]]'' and ''[[Pokeformers|Pokémon]]'', among many others. Founded in 1889, it originally began as a {{w|Hanafuda}} {{w|playing cards|playing card}} company and, after many failed ventures into other industries (including [[to sell toys|toys]]), would find success in 1974 when it secured the rights to distribute the {{w|Magnavox Odyssey}} in Japan, and its success would sprout from there as it began to develop its own games and hardware.

"Let's-a go!"
"Okie dokie!"

Nintendo Co., Ltd. (任天堂株式会社 Nintendō Kabushiki gaisha) is a Japanese multinational corporation best known for their home video game consoles and for their game franchises such as Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid and Pokémon, among many others. Founded in 1889, it originally began as a Hanafuda playing card company and, after many failed ventures into other industries (including toys), would find success in 1974 when it secured the rights to distribute the Magnavox Odyssey in Japan, and its success would sprout from there as it began to develop its own games and hardware.

Like Transformers, Nintendo would also become a worldwide phenomenon in the 1980's with the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong and the Family Computer in 1983, released worldwide as the Nintendo Entertainment System just two years later. Due to the Transformers franchise having comparatively few video games until the rise of the live-action film series, only about a handful of Transformers titles were released at all on earlier Nintendo consoles, most of which were exclusive to the Japanese market and one of which was cancelled in development.

The company has partnered with DeNA and Niantic on the development of several mobile titles based on their franchises, such as Pokémon Go, Mario Kart Tour, and Fire Emblem Heroes. In 2021, they purchased Next Level Games.
