Nintendo Translated = Leave Luck to Heaven?
Anarpis | 9:05 AM on 10.05.2007 6 comments


This is most certainly news to me, but based on a new Kotaku post (and some searching), it appears that the name Nintendo when translated means “Leave Luck to Heaven”! Pretty sweet if you ask me!

I did not know that, and now I am better enlightened.

I still hate the Wii.

Well they used to make playing cards, so the name kinda makes sense.

I remember reading this in some article for their 100th anniversary, I don't remember when that was now.
