I would have (if I would ever have had such an idea - unlikely) and added footnotes like in scientific writing instead of not linking out. But whom am I to judge.
It is an endless journey of investigation, parody, mystery, and intrigue. Try to click around for at least 10 minutes and see where you end up.

Wow! I've been using the internet since the 90s and I have never had my hair blown back by a webpage before. The isometric view certainly hits the nostalgia button. Edit (from the site): "Japan was once globally renowned for its people's quality of unique creativity teamed with a pioneering mindset. Their innovation and inventions changed the world. But that golden era has long been gone. It seems that the quality Ja…
It's bold of the Nintendo family to make such statements about Japanese society when they can't even get their own company under control themselves. Nintendo is probably the most universally hated gaming company and it's true of other Japanese companies as well. They seem to be scared of the internet and goes out of their way to claim copyright infringement on anything fan made having to do with their intellectual pr…
That's a _fascinating_ claim. Just off the top of my head, I can think of Blizzard/Activision and EA who I think of as more-hated (for labour practices and working conditions; and for microtransactions and sequel-itis). I've never heard any opinion below ambivalence for Nintendo, and its fans are rabid.

Just a warning that exploring James Lileks' site will suck you into spending a completely unreasonable number of hours marveling at his outstanding sense of humor (he wrote a great piece last week on the passing of P.J. O'Rourke) as well as the simultaneous wonderfulness and awfulness of mid-century American culture and life. The Gallery of Regrettable Food is a destination on its own, and the Matchbooks Collection w…
Met the the guy who started this (now deceased) many years ago at a concert while I was in college. He owned the company that provided the PA and lighting, and was wondering around wearing the the most ridiculous motcross boots I had ever seen, struck up a conversation and he told me about this site, and I still think about it from time to time.
I think that was about 20 years ago.
Off the top of my head, I remember visiting the website for the movie Donnie Darko back when the film was originally released and being blown away at the strangeness and creativity of it.

You are just not anywhere near objective reality [1]. Nintendo is one of the most beloved brands in the western world and I can't even comprehend what echo chamber you are in to think that Nintendo is hated.
There are certainly fair criticism of the company, I believe they are incredibly over zealous about their IP enforcement, but I doubt many people ever think about that when they are getting 100's of hours of entertainment value out of their hardware and 1st party software.
