born 1987, I'm a master of this game, vile red falcon stands no chance. Nintendo had the best systems, and is still the leader in the evolution of video game Technology. No other system or company can match the power, ideas,or history of the technological super giant. 30+ years and still has the most famous characters in the video game industry, the most memorable music, was the pioneer for cheat codes, the portable gameboy, motion sensor technology, and even virtual gaming, and is still successfully selling merchandise from 30 year old games.super Mario and MegaMan are still household names. even Playstation jumped on the bandwagon, mimicking Nintendo wii's motion sensor technology. In my opinion Nintendo is unrivaled, even by the 3D monsters XBox and PS. A prime example, nobody talks about crash bandicoot, oddworld, spyro,etc. anymore (if anyone ever did), yet the entire world still knows, loves, and plays Super Mario, despite it being way older. Just goes to show that Nintendo's ideas are so innovative, superb, and long lasting, that they captivated the minds of millions, and branded a new super standard of gaming on the ass of the industry. NINTENDO, NOW YOU'RE PLAYING WITH POWER!!!
