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).
