The way I see it, this means Nintendo is an angel from heaven, sent down to Earth to bring us the light of joy. A modern Prometheus, if you will.

Which would certainly explain the buzzards that like to pick at Nintendo's liver.

Their luck may have something to do with having the two best executives in any industry - Yamauchi and Iwata.

I think Nintendo should expand their entertainment profile some more. hmm like include card games or own baseball teams, how TV shows?.. oooh wait :P

Anyways I like the name.

Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
