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 games Super Mario Bros., the Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon among many. Founded in 1889, it originally began as a Hanafuda playing card company and, after many failed ventures into other industries (among them being toys and even a "Love Hotel" chain of which the company would do a complete 180° and is now a far cry from), would find success in 1974 when it secured the rights to release the Magnavox Odyssey and its success would sprout from there.

Like the Transformers, Nintendo would also become a worldwide phenomenon in the 1980's with the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong and, in 1983, the Family Computer and was released worldwide as the Nintendo Entertainment System just two years later. Due to the Transformers franchise having none too many video games until the rise of the Film franchise, only about a handful of Transformers titles were released at all on Nintendo consoles (most of which were in Japan exclusively and some of which were cannned).

Notes

  • Many of the characters from DreamMix TV World Fighters either made their debut on the NES/Famicom or at least had a version of their originals for said system.
  • The first Starfox game was also the first to utilize the Super FX chip and was also co-developed by Argonaut Software. Like the Transformers G2 title, Starfox 2 was also scrapped; it would also use a Transformation:transforming mechanic which would not return until the recent Starfox Zero.
  • In August 2015, Hasbro and Nintendo would form a sponsorship deal and promote Transformers: Robots in Disguise within its online multiplayer game, Splatoon through its "Splatfest" event in North America.
