The Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance, or NIWA for short, is a network of various wikis and affiliated websites to chronicle the universes made by Nintendo that are independent from larger wiki groups such as Wikia

The idea of a Nintendo wiki network began as an expansion of what was originally going to be an affiliation between ZeldaWiki and Bulbapedia. After some deliberation, it was instead decided that instead of a minor affiliation, an entire network of independent Nintendo-based wikis could be created, and Super Mario Wiki was shortly asked to join as another founding member, and the NIWA was launched on February 14, 2010.

WikiBound joined the NIWA on November 5, 2010 and became the 12 member of the NIWA.

Since then, the NIWA continuously expanded and other wikis joined the allience. The list of other wikis include: Metroid WikiWiKirby, Wars Wiki, Lylat WikiPikipedia and Pikmin FanonStrategyWikiSmashWikiDonkey Kong Wiki, NookipediaGolden Sun UniverseNintendoWikiFire Emblem WikiStarfy WikiF-Zero Wiki, IcaruspediaDragon Quest WikiHard Drop Tetris, Inkipedia, and most recently ARMS Institute, bringing the total up to 24.
