Talk:Nintendo

Nintendo
I have previously failed this for RFD-sense and removed the company name to the etymology. Which if any of the following information should be kept?


 * From Nintendo Company, Limited (任天堂株式会社), the Japanese manufacturer, from Japanese 任天堂 (Nintendō) “Luck of Heaven” or “Luck of the Angels”

I say keep all. DAVilla 03:07, 16 February 2008 (UTC)


 * keep all (using etyl and term templates !!!) DCDuring TALK 03:38, 16 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, keep all, and maybe spiffy up the layout a bit. -- Visviva 06:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

"Any video game system." Appears to have been discussed before (see talk page) but has no proof or citations. Equinox ◑ 18:07, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

literal translation wrong?
I think writing (Nintendo "Luck of Heaven") gives the false impression that Nintendo actually means luck of heaven. The Japanese Wikipedia says Nintendo comes from「人生一寸先が闇、運は天に任せ、与えられた仕事に全力で取り組む」So putting that in would make much more sense. Kampy (talk) 10:37, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I can't read Japanese or Chinese characters, but from what I understand of the above, isn't that phrase just a longer quote that has "Luck of Heaven" within it?
