Nintendo responds to zero Greenpeace scores

After Nintendo scored zero in the Guide to Greener Electronics report by Greenpeace, it's inevitable to get a reply from the video game giant that uses recycled paper for game manuals and shipping packaging.

According to a customer service representative from Nintendo:

We were surprised by the content of the Greenpeace report, given that we take great care to comply with all relevant regulations on avoiding the use of dangerous materials, recycling, etc. For example, all Nintendo products supplied worldwide are designed to comply with relevant global standards.


Nintendo's reply to an inquiry about being the first global brand to score zero across all Greenpeace criteria also mentioned the Green Procurement Standards the company established, which "requires component suppliers to certify that any parts they deliver do not include hazardous chemical substances, and ensure that Nintendo fully controls its products internally parts from suppliers."

Ninty scored nil in Greenpeace's books because no information was available when the Guide to Greener Electronics was made, as stated in the guide's breakdown report. Looks like we can expect better numbers on Nintendo's scorecards if Greenpeace can acquire more details regarding Nintendo's procedures, and we'll see the results when the guide is updated in February.

GP gave Nintendo all zeros on the test because Ninty wouldn't let them into their factories or tell them things about their manufacturing process that Ninty's competitors could use. Good for Nintendo. Greenpeace isn't a government body, it's a collection of weirdos with too much time on their hands. If it was the EPA or the Japanese equiv. governing body, then yeah, Ninty should answer their questions. But Greenpeace? LOL.

yeah nintendo wouldnt give them secrets my ass. if sony and microsoft couldnt figure out how to build a gamecube with motion sensing controls maybe. but they could easily. so why could the other 2 companies let them in but nintendo couldt? because your a fanboy? is that why you make up things.

Sony and MS consider the Wii a fad anyway what information could they possibly want. Sony has been the dominator for 2 generations already It proves that Nintendo might need to know Sony's secret, MS never really done anything crazy but i doubt they want to know Ninty secret. They are laughing how simple the Wii is and how the Wii shortages are probably going to affect them this holiday.

Dude, I would shut up about the lead solder comment. Most companies don't want to move to lead free solder for many reasons, and huge companies like AT+T choose not to use lead free solder in it's Network Elements.



Anyways, your just making sh*t up now, because where is your proof regarding Nintendo's soldering procedures?
