Nintendo Wiki (also known as N Wiki) offers a wide array of unbiased information regarding Nintendo. The wiki primarily focuses on items that relate directly to Nintendo as a company; specifically its products, its people, and its actions. Nintendo Wiki also aims to focus on items that indirectly relate to Nintendo, such as notable third-parties and contractors, as well as notable Nintendo-related products that they have produced.

History

May 12, 2010 – Several months after the idea was first pitched, Archaic finally set up the servers and Nintendo Wiki was opened. However, the project was kept secret from the public to ensure a peaceful development before its official launch. The first articles were slowly produced, with information pulled from the three founding wikis of NIWA.
May 29, 2010 – Following many days of little to no editing, TTEchidna joined the project and essentially became RAP's second-in-command. This brought a range of new ideas and changes that helped to stabilize the wiki and increased the rate of development.
July 19, 2010 – The hundredth image was uploaded. (File:KodaMineo.jpg - 16:59, July 19, 2010)
