I like to think that Nintendojo doesn’t show its age, but every time I come into the nonexistent office, it’s hard to say I can’t tell just how wizened the place is. The wall’s kind of peeling. The chandelier could use a fixer-upper. I mean, we’re fifteen for goodness’ sake. That’s like 80 in Internet years! It’s amazing!
(We’ll have that congratulations any day now.)
But then I see other things– games, really, I mean, what else would we talk about– like Pokémon Conquest or Kid Icarus: Uprising, and realize that plenty of old things are making a comeback. So Nintendojo’s a bit ancient. Well, so is Oda Nobunaga, but you don’t see him running out of steam anytime soon. Heck, he’s running with bulls Tauros, which is the most epic thing you can do this side of Kanto. Admittedly, that sounds a little bit like a midlife crisis to us, but we’ve redesigned our site so much that we can’t really talk much either.
And meanwhile, look at Pit! His game is inspiring cults clans via GameFAQs, though it doesn’t provide any official support for Mario Kart 7-style groups. And even Dragon Quest Monsters from forever ago is getting its own 3DS edition. This would make us kind of jealous if we didn’t already have our own custom 3DS.
Yep, this is ours. You didn’t know?
Like Pit, Nobunaga, and Terry, we’re still doing great things here at Nintendojo, and we’re still excited to share our words with you. Last week you were introduced to new writer Michael Contino– this week we’re dishing out more newness with Kyle England. And if you’re up for contributing to Nintendojo, hey, we can always use the help. Just look to the right! We’re hiring! And then you, too, will be part of our incredible history.
Enjoy,
Andrew
