Help! Fixing DK cabaret "marquee" art Nintendo font

I can't seem to find the thread where I got this pdf reproduction of the marquee sticker for a Donkey Kong cabaret, which is great but the Nintendo text is the wrong font.

I have used Pretendo font in the past, and his work very well for me. but it's only accurate with the letters in Nintendo. letters that are in the word Nintendo are wrong.

does anyone know of a better true type font that matches nintendod font better?

original marquee:

I think when I did my vectoring of the DKjr cocktail instruction card and Vs. Pinball card, I picked a font that was close, then modified it slightly in Illustrator to get the letters and spacing more like original. I don't think there is a specific font that is exact:

The font for Nintendo on the card was different...
