Nintendo

No company has history as long and diverse as Nintendo, often called by people on the internet "The Big N". Nintendo is the creator of many popular series that stretch all the way back to 1980. Nintendo entered the market with a daring business plan: Market the Famicom as a "Family Computer" and in America and Europe as an "Entertainment System", to try to convince people it wasn't a video game system, due to the crash of the video game industry. That, along with the success of the best-selling game of all time, Super Mario Bros, caused Nintendo to capture a whooping 90% of the market, annihilating the main competition. Even today, Nintendo is a big name, but not quite as big as it was back then. In recent years, Nintendo has made a huge comeback with the Wii and DS, creating new, innovative ways to play video games and attract new audiences while at the same time successfully re-capturing it's old audience that it held during its past.
