What is your history with Nintendo?

Favorites consoles?

NES and the Super Nintendo. SNES is my favorite console of all time, easily. I’m also really digging the Switch a lot. I pretty much own every Nintendo console there is except for the Nintendo TV-Game consoles from the 70’s.

Favorite games or series?

Final Fantasy is my favorite franchise. I’m also a sucker for anything Mario or Zelda. 16-bit RPG’s are my favorite games (CHRONO Trigger, FF3/6, Super Mario RPG, Breath of Fire 1 and 2, Lufia 2). I’m currently playing Shining Force on the Genesis Collection for the Switch.

What’s one of your favorite Nintendo memories?

I have a lot. I got the NES when I was 4 on Christmas morning. It was a huge surprise. I also have fond memories of how I got the Nintendo 64. I was also an early adopter of the Virtual Boy! Ha!

What’s a Nintendo game that you haven’t played or haven’t completed that others will judge you for?

I’ve never played any of the Metroid Prime games. I haven’t played a Metroid since Super Metroid.

What kind of Nintendo Content do you create?

I create gaming-related content (not just Nintendo). Honestly, I just kept most of my gaming stuff from my childhood and after a while, I realized people might like to see my collection so I just started snapping pics! I’m also not a normal collector; meaning I only buy items I really dig or know I’m going to play. I rarely buy something just because it’s a rarity or collectible.

What advice would you give someone wanting to start creating their own Nintendo content?

Do it for the fun of it. Treat it like a community. Be caring, kind and communicative and you’ll typically be rewarded with more followers and like-minded friends. Also, be aware that people online aren’t always nice. So frequently I see accounts where people get their feelings hurt because of naysayers… It just comes with the territory. Don’t let a few bad apples spoil the fun for you. 98%+ of the people are pretty awesome!
