"Nintendos" sounds weird to me because for me a "Nintendo" is a console, and I rarely use more than one of those at the same time.
When you say "Legos" on the other hand I interpret it as an abbreviation of something like Lego bricks.
> It is like saying you watch animes instead of anime. Plural is still anime.
"Animes" on the other hand sounds perfectly fine. We don't conjugate borrowed verbs in a different way either just because the source language has different rules for conjugation; the English borrowing of irregular plural forms is a special case which doesn't work with anime too well since an irregular plural form does not actually exist (as with most Japanese nouns). Not to mention the word is an abbreviation of "animation", another English word with a perfectly normal plural form.
