You remember last week, right? You loved last week! On Nintendojo anyway; such things as presidential primaries, Italian cruise ships crashing into reefs and the British government attempting to smother the independent will of Scotland are somewhat beyond our control. On the plus side, we all know what a caucus is now! Maybe. (It sounds like a ruckus but isn’t the same. Or perhaps it is?)
But that’s not what we’re here to talk about it. We’re here to discuss our new, exciting content strategy that is in its second week of being rolled out. Yes, two weeks! If you enjoyed the new stuff we served up last week, it’ll be back next week. This week will bring brand new stuff into your life that will also be fortnightly. We like to keep you on your toes, dear reader.
In case you were under a rock/cruise ship last week (No that’s not a sick joke! They’re still finding survivors! -Ed.) then allow me to illuminate just what we’re unveiling as part of this fortnight of newness.
The same writers you know and love are kicking off brand-new columns this week! While Issue 84 brought you Kevin Knezevic’s Star Road and Pierre Bienaimé’s Square Roots, fantastic columns that you should definitely check out if you haven’t thus far, Issue 85 won’t give up that easily. Not only does our very own Lewis Hampson enter the fray with his brand new column Connection Error, a look at the pitfalls and perils of the more technical side of gaming, but his tag team partner will be Katharine Byrne’s Another Castle, the new home for all narrative and character-based discussion at Nintendojo.
And if that wasn’t enough, our Nightly News Roundups will be back once again! (And this time, we might remember we’re doing them and actually post one everyday!) Still fancy more excitement? We’re saving the best for last as Issue 86 will see the landing of Mel Turnquist’s brand new column on the world of the fanboy and Nintendo dedication. It’s so exclusive that we don’t even know the name of it yet. (No, it’s not because we haven’t thought of one yet! Promise. -Ed.)
And that’s what’s on our plate this week. Next to some sausages. And chips. We like chips.
Enjoy,
Adam
PS – By “chips”, I of course meant “fries”. Apologies, America.
