Nintendo (Unfutur)

Nintendo Co., Ltd. is a well known Japanese electronics company that specializes in video games.

Era of Diversification and Resurgence (2015 - )
The Era of Diversification and Resurgence marked Nintendo's diversification into other markets and their return to popularity following a gradual decline with the Wii U. Its start is usually defined as being after Iwata's death and the reorganization of the company's management.

In 2017, Nintendo bounced back from their financial decline with the release of the Switch, which helped to put them on par with Sony (and start the Second Console Wars).

The first market Nintendo reached out into was the mobile market, starting out with Miitomo (2015), then moving on to heavy hitters like Pokemon Go (2016) and Super Mario Run (2016). In 2017, two more minor franchises (Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing) received mobile titles with  Fire Emblem Heroes and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Following releases include of the Legend of Zelda (2019).

Nintendo also liscensed their properties to Universal Parks and Resorts, allowing for the opening of  Nintendo-based areas in Universal Studios Theme Parks. In time for the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, "Super Nintendo Land" opened in Universal Studios Japan with Shigeru Miyamoto and Tatsumi Kimishima doing the grand opening. Super Nintendo Land was later brought to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orland Resort,  in 2023 and 2025 respectively.

Nintendo's liscensing to Universal ended up being not limited just to theme parks but expanded to film and television too. With Illumination's Super Mario Bros. (2019) being the first of many adaptations, following Illumination's competence with the franchise. In 2022, shorts revolving around Pikmin and Chibi-Robo were brought to UniversalKids.
