The one I find interesting is the Korean Subsidary. I read a few years ago that Nintendo has typically been handled by an insane company (with ties to organized crime) in South Korea; this meant that Nintendo products were rarely sold in reputable stores and the typical place to find a Gameboy or Gamecube was in a flea maket. Meanwhile, there always apeared to be a demand for these products as retailers would report that they would deal with dozens of people every week who were looking for these products that were not really available. This should be interesting to see how a well handled console sells in the land of PC gaming.

I read a while back that they did this to get into local development. Its all part of their push into online gaming, with Korea being such a large market. I think they are hoping to get some Korean developers making online Wii titles (Ragnorok anyone?).
