Nintendo (Scenario: Betaverse3)

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 Indian company Shakti Tech (founded in 2021) attempted to buy Nintendo in 2028. But, the deal failed to go through.

Mobile Market
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).

Super Nintendo World
Nintendo also licensed 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 also brought to Universal Studios Hollywood in 2023, with Reggie Fils-Amie doing the grand opening. Super Nintendo Land was later brought to Universal Studios Orlando in 2025.

Movie and Television Adaptations
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. (2020) being the first of many adaptations, following Illumination's competence with the franchise. In 2022, Pikmin, Captain Toad, Yoshi, and Chibi-Robo shorts were brought to UniversalKids. Starting in 2024, Nintendo opened their own in-house animation company, NintenToon, to help with production. Also in 2024, two DreamWorks Animation series based off of the Zelda and Metroid franchises began. A new Kirby series began in 2025, while the first Animal Crossing anime began in 2026. In 2027, DreamWorks released the first of the Xenoblade trilogy. In 2029, the first Fire Emblem anime began. DreamWorks' Star Fox movie was released in 2031.
