'''Logo:''' We see either the Nintendo logo on either a black or white background or copyright information for the company below the title screen of the game. | |||
'''Variants:''' | |||
*On NTSC-J/PAL releases of some Nintendo games, the logo is colored in {{color|blue}} instead of {{color|red}}. | |||
*On ''Super Mario 64'', the Super Mario 64 logo pops up before zooming out and fading away, with copyright information for Nintendo seen below. | |||
'''Technique:''' None. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' None or the opening theme of the game. | |||
'''Music/Sounds Variants:''' | |||
*The coin collect sound effect from the Mario series is heard on ''Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine'', ''New Super Mario Bros.'', and ''Super Mario 64 DS''. | |||
*On ''Super Mario 64'', we hear Mario saying "It's-a-me, Mario!" | |||
'''Availability:''' Very common. One of the first games to contain this logo is the US version of ''NCAA Basketball'' (SNES). It can be seen on most Nintendo games and their title screens such as ''Paper Mario'', ''Mario Party 5'', ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'', among others. This logo is absent on the ''Super Mario Advance'' series; in the first game there was no Nintendo logo at all, and the other games use the 1st logo. In most relatively recent games such as ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', the logo is absent. However, it still shows up occasionally, such as on ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''. | |||

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see some {{color|red|reddish}}-{{color|gray}} smoke rising, forming a {{color|red}} skeleton with its eyes lit {{color|green}}, which then looks to the camera with its mouth opening. Its eyes brighten up before a {{color|cyan}} flash of light appears, causing the skeleton to melt to the right, off the screen. The flash becomes a beam of light, circling around before it reaches the bottom-center of an outline of the Nintendo logo. It flashes even brighter and the full Nintendo logo appears in {{color|lightblue|light blue}}. Throughout its screen time, the color of the Nintendo logo changes to {{color|red}}. | |||
'''Variant:''' On the PAL/European versions of the game, the Nintendo logo would turn {{color|blue}} instead of {{color|red}}. | |||
'''Technique:''' All CGI. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' Ominous orchestral music, accompanied by the skeleton growling. After a phasing sound when the Nintendo logo gets formed, a deep "thud" is heard and a deep male announcer says the company name. | |||
'''Availability:''' Only appeared on ''Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem'' for the Nintendo GameCube. | |||
'''Legacy:''' The smoke, the frightening and jarring appearance of the creature growling, the orchestral sting and the creepy announcer will be very unsettling to most, but this is undeniably intentional given the subject matter of the game that follows it. | |||
