Huge objections. "Name a games console that is manufactured by Nintendo" is the present tense. Nintendo are no longer manufacturing SNES, Gamecubes, or Virtual Boys.

If the question said "Name a console made by Nintendo" or "Name a Nintendo console" or "Name a console manufactured by Nintendo", then sure, no problem. I'd have trotted out the Game Boy Color again.

5. Name a games console that is manufactured by Nintendo

Objection. 'Is' implies currently. If the question was intended to include past tense it would have said is/was. Loads of fails there.

Had this dicussion with stato, and quite possibly, i worded this incorrectly again.

BUT, if i said to you, who manufactures the Game Boy, you would reply, Nintendo.

That's a terrible reason to not fail them imo.

Don't be so hard on yourself. There was no problem with the question. Don't blame yourself for the deficiencies of others.

FAIL THEM

I have a NES, and a SNES. They both say Nintendo on them.

Move on.

They don't say "Date of manufacture: 2011" do they?
