Nintendo

**Nintendo** is a Japanese video game company, headquartered in Kyoto. It is the creator of many fictional franchies, such as Super Mario and Pokémon. It has been a very successful company over the years.

## History

Nintendo was founded in 1889 by Fusajiro Yamauchi. Originally, it produced handmade hanafuda playing cards, but eventually expanded into other ventures such as a taxi company and a love hotel.

***Below is the timeline of the final venture, video games.***

### 1983-1988

In 1985 the Nintendo Entertainment System(NES) was made. But before that the Color TV-Game [n(means number of games playable)] and the Game & Watch, the first ever handheld.

### 1989-1995

In 1989-1995 the Game Boy, Super Nintendo Entertainment System(SNES), and Virtual Boy were made. The Virtual Boy was the only one that didn't succeed. That was due to black and red color only graphics and the stand... The SNES was planned to have an CD-ROM attachment by Sony (Nintendo rejected that and therefore in 1995 Sony created Playstation (1) and started competing with Nintendo). But then Nintendo started it via Philips but it was canceled.

### 1996-2000

In 1996 the Nintendo 64 was released. It became the first 3D graphical console, especially with the game, Super Mario 64. In 1998 the Game Boy color was released, the next handheld after the Game Boy. It added color.

### 2001-2003

In 2001 the Game Boy Advance and GameCube was released (in some regions the GameCube was released in 2002). There was iQue, a unsucessful program of bringing Nintendo consoles to China (excluding Hong Kong and Macau)

### 2004-2011

In 2004, the Nintendo DS was released, being the first dual screen (functional) handheld. In 2005 Nintendo opened the first store with public aceess. Nintendo World Store, at the Rockefeller Center in New York City. In 2005 the first prototype for the Wii was displayed. In 2006 the Nintendo DS Lite was released. As well as a subusidary for Korea. In early August 2006, it was revealed that Nintendo, along with Microsoft, was made the target of a patent-infringement lawsuit. Leveled by the Anascape Ltd., the suit claimed that Nintendo's use of analog technology in their game controllers constitutes a violation of their patents. That was later reversed. On the same year the Wii was launched. Also in 2008 the Nintendo DSi was released.

### 2012-2017

In 2011 the Wii U was first announced, an HD console with a new controller, the GamePad. That same year, Nintendo released the 3DS, the first Nintendo handheld with autostereoscopic 3D graphics. Nintendo continued to be successful in the handheld market, and through its decade-long run, 75 million units of the 3DS were sold. By contrast, the Wii U suffered confusing marketing, a lack of third-party support, and very slow consumer adoption. Thus Nintendo quickly gained declining revenues throughout the mid-2010s. The Wii U was discontinued in 2017 as the lowest-selling Nintendo home console with only about 13.5 million sales. This also started the mobile games part of the Nintendo Brand.

### 2017-Present Day

In 2017, the Nintendo Switch was released, the first hybrid console. So it was a handheld too.

## *"The Super Mario Bros. Movie*"

On April 5th 2023 the Movie has released in America

### Plot

***The following contains spoilers. Read at your own risk. It's recommended you watch the movie first.***

Italian plumbers Mario and Luigi own and operate the unsuccessful Super Mario Bros. Plumbing business in Brooklyn. Their father disapproves of Mario's decision to leave a high-paying job under the antagonistic Spike to start the business. After seeing a significant manhole leak reported on the news, Mario and Luigi go underground to fix the plumbing, but are both sucked into a pipe and separated in the process.

Mario lands in the Mushroom Kingdom and meets Toad, who informs him that Luigi has ended up in the "dark lands", under the control of the evil Bowser, who wants to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom and marry Princess Peach. Toad takes Mario to Peach, while Luigi is captured by Bowser's forces and caged above a sea of lava.

At Peach's castle, Peach reveals her plan to recruit the Kong Kingdom to help against Bowser, and agrees to take Mario along after he eventually almost completes an obstacle course, with Toad coming as well. On their journey, Peach shares that she does not know the full extent of her origins, having been taken in by the residents of the Mushroom Kingdom as a baby and eventually being crowned their princess; Mario speculates that she may be from the same world he is. At the Kong Kingdom, King Cranky Kong agrees to help on the condition that Mario defeat his son, Donkey Kong, in a fight. After a shaky start, Mario powers up into Cat Mario and defeats Donkey Kong.

Mario, Peach, Toad, and the Kongs use karts to drive to Bowser, but they are ambushed by his army on Rainbow Road. When a part of the road is destroyed, Mario and Donkey Kong plummet to the ocean and are consumed by a Maw-Ray, and the other Kongs are captured. Peach and Toad drive back to the Mushroom Kingdom and urge the citizens to evacuate. Peach then says that she will marry Bowser to stop Toad from being tortured. Meanwhile, Mario and Donkey Kong escape the Maw-Ray through the rocket from Donkey Kong's kart, and go to Bowser.

At the wedding reception, taking place in front of all the caged people, Peach powers up with an Ice Flower and freezes Bowser, while the caged people are freed. Toad and Donkey Kong help to fight off Bowser's army while Mario diverts a Banzai Bill away from Peach's castle and into the pipe that sent him to the Mushroom Kingdom. However, this causes elements from the Mushroom Kingdom to be transported to Brooklyn, where Mario and Luigi obtain a Super Star and use its invincibility to work together to defeat the freed Bowser, who is subsequently shrunk with a mushroom and placed in a bottle. The residents of Brooklyn celebrate the Mario brothers, including Spike and Mario's father, with the latter saying that he is proud of him. In the aftermath, Mario and Luigi become residents of the Mushroom Kingdom.

In a mid-credits scene, the still-shrunk Bowser plays a song, only to be hit by a guard. In a post-credits scene, a white egg with green spots hatches, upon which Yoshi is heard.

## The Future

The original HQ is planned to be converted into a hotel, and the cards factory into a gallery.
