After a little under a month of planning, NIWA was launched on February 14, 2010, to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the public launch of [[Bulbapedia]].
After a little under a month of planning, NIWA was launched on February 14, 2010, to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the public launch of [[Bulbapedia]].


Within two months more, preparations were complete for the launch of [[Metroid Wiki]] and [[WiKirby]], which had been spun off by users of the original trio of NIWA wikis, and they joined the group. [[Wars Wiki]], a wiki based on the age-old Nintendo Wars franchise, became the first member recruited from outside the original trio. Throughout October and mid-November, NIWA experienced a boost of wikis every week on Friday, starting with [[Lylat Wiki]] (October 1), then [[Pikipedia]] and [[Pikmin Fanon]] (October 8), [[StrategyWiki]] (October 15), [[SmashWiki]] (October 29), [[WikiBound]] (November 5), [[Donkey Kong Wiki]] (November 12), and [[Nookipedia]] (November 19). On November 30, [[Golden Sun Universe]] joined, notably on a Tuesday rather than Friday. [[NintendoWiki]], which had been worked on secretly for quite a time before, joined on December 10. After no new wikis joining for a several months, [[Fire Emblem Wiki]] joined on April 20, followed by [[Starfy Wiki]] on April 28. After nearly a year of no new wikis joining the alliance, [[F-Zero Wiki]] joined on March 16, 2012, followed by [[Icaruspedia]] on March 23, 2012. [[Dragon Quest Wiki]] joined on March 30, 2012. After nearly two years with no new wikis, [[Hard Drop Tetris Wiki]] joined on January 17, 2014. [[Inkipedia]] joined on July 4, 2015. Most recently, [[ARMS Institue]] joined on June 22, 2017, bringing the total number of members to 24 wikis.
