I suggest that we add a www. to the link. Not the actual hyperlink itself but the page it directs you to. This would probably help older computers/browsers to direct the users to the page. The link it directs you to would then be https://www.nintendo.com Ayellowfan (talk) 04:13, 13 January 2026 (UTC)AyellowfanReply

Buypass?

Latest comment: 2 months ago3 comments3 people in discussion

in the history section "bypass" is spelled "buypass". Can't edit it myself ~2026-16981-94 (talk) 00:10, 18 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

i am not an English Person myself, but even after a quick google search i cannot find any instance where "bypass" can also be spelled "buypass" so there is definitely a mistake. ~2026-16712-05 (talk) 12:47, 28 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Took care of it. Thanks! Larry Hockett (Talk) 12:51, 28 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Nintendo Logo

Latest comment: 3 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

First 任天堂 logo is used officially still now in Japan. Main purposes are for company name in official paper, hardware/software packages, manuals and sign on the gate of Nintendo's building.(任天堂株式会社) And it is used in the sponsorship credits of television programs. Also it is written in some Hanahuda cards packages.(任天堂) 任天堂 was written on some third party's Famicom cartridges labels. Why does it say this is until 1950? Only main brand logo?

Navbox clutter

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I was wondering if the specific franchise navboxes (e.g. Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc.) should be removed? I was about to add some missing franchise navboxes like Splatoon, Tomodachi Life, etc., but there's already a navbox specifically for different Nintendo franchises in general, and I don't see a need to have dozens of them on this page Tt2460 (talk) 15:20, 2 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
