Total Number of Nintendo Games?

There are some fanboys/noobs/jackasses out there that talk about how Nintendo doesn't have any games. Well, apparently, they haven't done a lot of research... And truthfully, neither did I. I just checked the game guide on Nintendo's website and Wikipedia. However, just how much more research would be necessary to prove a point in a never-ending nerd debate that's almost as tiresome as 'Kirk vs. Picard', huh? (BTW, Kirk would win.)

NES - 709

So, as you can clearly see, they have a great abundance of games. As to whether or not any of them will be to your liking is an entirely different matter.
