Nintendo Statistics
Here are a few of the more interesting Nintendo facts and important dates in Nintendo history I was able to dig up. As always, I will be adding more and updating these periodically as I find new stuff. Be sure to check back regularly.
As a child growing up in the 80’s, Nintendo played a very big role in my youth. Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Metroid, RBI Baseball, Contra, Castlevania were just a few of a long line of endless 8bit adventures we were challenged by our friends to conquer. Nintendo has evolved some since the days of the original Nintendo Entertainment System, but they continue to entertain children and adults alike with creative and challenging games that are just a bit more sophisticated than those we fondly remember.
So just how big has Nintendo become after all these years? and how much do you really know about this Japanese powerhouse company? Let’s find out…
