Let me begin this thing by saying that I love Nintendo and I always have. When I hear the word Nintendo, my reaction is Pavlovian. I immediately associate them with all of their classic games and remarkable history. Growing up with Nintendo games more than anything else, they’re who I identify with gaming. I don’t [...]

25 very long years. That’s how long we’ve been fortunate to have access to the greatest hobby in the world. We’ve seen 8 bits, we are seeing 128 bits. We’ve held a rectangular block controller, we’ll be holding a tv remote. We’ve played consoles stacked on top of each other, we’ve seen game storage media [...]

The gaming industry is full of mascots and icons. They are necessary just as they are in every other business in existence. Most if not all companies carry with them some sort of logo or trademark to make them identifiable in the public’s eye. Sports teams have their poor geeks who dawn the insanely hot [...]
