Nintendium is a humorous, fictional material that fans jokingly claim is used in Nintendo products, making them incredibly durable. The term combines "Nintendo" with the suffix "-ium," mimicking the names of real elements.
The myth of Nintendium gained traction after stories of Nintendo consoles surviving extreme conditions, such as a Game Boy that endured a Gulf War bombing but still functioned. Fans often reference the NES controllers, Game Boys, and Wii remotes as examples of devices made from this "indestructible" material.
While Nintendium isn't real, the idea reflects the reputation Nintendo has for making sturdy gaming hardware.
