The headquarters for Nintendo of Europe are located in Großostheim. It's referenced in the German translation of Secret of Evermore, where the main character starts his adventure in the city of Großostheim. This, of course, is an In-joke to Nintendo fans, as the city in the game doesn't represent the Bavarian community.
