| * <b>January 22nd, 2014</b> - NIWA added a new member on Saturday - it sure has been a while: Hard Drop Tetris Wiki, a wiki about the Tetris franchise. Although Tetris is considered a third-party franchise owned by [[wikipedia:The Tetris Company|The Tetris Company]], the franchise is known to have a history of being worked on by several licensed entities, and Nintendo happens to be one of them. Albeit Nintendo does not develop Tetris games presently, the franchise still has a notable spot in Nintendo's own history, in addition to the several iteration of Tetris games available on various Nintendo consoles.

| | * '''June 23rd, 2017''' - NIWA added a new member yesterday - it has been a long while: ARMS Institute, a wiki about the Nintendo Switch game ''[[armswiki:ARMS (game)|ARMS]]''. We do not know yet if ''ARMS'' will have any sequels and/or related new entries in the future, but it is amazing that a brand new IP from Nintendo could garner such a grand following and online community in a very short amount of time - enough to launch an independent wiki site about a sole game, at least. Due to the overwhelming success of the first game, it would not be surprising if Nintendo are planning to release more entries in their successful new IP after ''ARMS''. This sounds familiar for some reason. By the way, Nintendo's last major new IP, ''Splatoon'', is a getting [[splatoonwiki:Splatoon 2|a sequel]] next month. |
