Nintendo

Nintendo

General
Pretty much everyone knows about Nintendo, one of the world's biggest video game companies. They're based in Kyoto, Japan, and their company history is on their site at http://www.nintendo.com/corp/history.html.

Nintendo produced the NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, all console-based games (proprietary hardware and software), and the Game Boy line of handheld games. They are also quite well known for producing a variety of games around Mario, who happens to be a plumber.

Meaning
What does Nintendo mean? I never really thought about it too much, but there's a mention of the meaning on RPGamer:

Page excerpt from: http://www.rpgamer.com/ask/rpg101398.html

=========
"Nintendo" translates very roughly to "the place where we leave it up to the gods and do the best we can." Now *that* is indispensable information.
