Yes let's look at what this is and not just say Nintendo is the biggest and best immediately!
As some people have pointed out this is cash holdings ONLY. Do companies like Toyota and Sony have way more assets - YES- but that is not liquid cash. Nevertheless Toyota and Sony are much bigger through sheer size of capital and stock value.

Also why is Nintendo holding so much cash!?
Any business or accounting undergrad would tell you that it behooves a business to INVEST the cash instead of having it sit and not work for you. Every Yen not being put into Fzero 3d or SSB Frenzy is not helping the company earn money. For example we know what happens when Nintendo sits back and doesnt make games for a system no matter how bad it is:-/

it's probably just in case they had to pay off a mediocre Switch launch
