On his own will, he doesn't receive a higher salary than the other developers on Nintendo

dunno if that is charitable or stupid.
if he got raises for his coworkers thats good.
if he just lets the corp reap all the profits on his work..gag

To some people, there are a great many things in life that are more important than the soulless corporate money machine or money itself.

And Steve Jobs' salary is $1.

Since he is the creator of Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong etc., I'm sure the guy has some kind of royalty arrangement.

Websense let me through.

Oddly enough she looks like she could play the role of Zelda.

Trend Micro Interscan also has it classified as Adult.

It appears to be just a picture sharing website, blocking it would be like blocking flickr.

I'd demand she call me Link while I was stabbing her with my pork sword

I don't think I've ever seen or heard anyone use the phrase "Nintendo hard", unless it was in the context of an extremely geeky cybering session.

Did you know that in the first game in which he appeared (Donkey Kong), Mario's name was not Mario, it was Jumpman. And he wasn't a plumber, he was a carpenter.

If you're interested in video game history I highly recommend Smartbomb: The Quest for Art, Entertainment, and Big Bucks in the Videogame Revolution, it's a really interesting read. It has a couple of chapters that focus on Nintendo.

Where are they getting some of their info from? Nintendo is not larger than Sony or Panasonic. I would take their other 'facts' with a grain of salt.

In terms of market cap I know Nintendo was bigger than Sony within the last few years and may still be. I assume that's what they're referring to.

It wouldn't be surprising if more people bought Wiis and DS systems than Sony sells TVs.
