Awesome Flowchart Depicts Nintendo's Vast History
As one of the oldest and most prolific developing and publishing companies in the industry, it’s a daunting task trying to catalog the density of Nintendo’s history. Graphic artist Vin Lauria took it upon himself to capture the extensive history that Nintendo is famous for in this detailed, intuitive, and aesthetically pleasing infograph.
The flowchart below depicts every console and first and second-party game produced by Nintendo across the many generations of gaming. It’s difficult to grasp the breadth and influence that this company has had on gaming, but this excellent timeline manages to put it into perspective.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
