| * <b>July 5, 2015</b> - NIWA added a new member yesterday - it sure has been a while: Inkipedia, a wiki about the Wii U game ''[[splatoonwiki:Splatoon|Splatoon]]''. We do not know yet if ''Splatoon'' 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 ''Splatoon''.

| * <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. | |
| * <b>March 30th, 2012</b> - NIWA added a new member today: Dragon Quest Wiki, a wiki about the Dragon Quest series. Although Dragon Quest is considered a third-party franchise owned by [[wikipedia:Square-Enix|Square-Enix]], its latest games from 2007 onwards are Nintendo-exclusive entries, some of which were published by Nintendo themselves outside Japan, which is why the related wiki was qualified to be a NIWA member.

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. |
