That's us! With pictures to celebrate.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/25617/happy-12th-birthday-nintendo-world-report

Today, Nintendo World Report celebrates 12 happy years alive on the Internet. Whether you look at it in terms of Nintendo sites, games sites, or even news sites, 12 years is not an achievement to be taken lightly. The journey has taken us through PlanetN2000, Planet GameCube, and finally, Nintendo World Report, a name that is here to stay.

With such a long tenure, it is undoubted that the effort, time, and passion of many people are a leading factor in the site still standing today. With that, we will celebrate this momentous occasion with a look at who they are, and where they are now. Each page will have the full photos as featured in the "12" montage below. So please scroll down to begin the journey of our 13th year!

Good to see a quality site stick around this long.

Also glad to see The_Dan_x straighten up and fly right. :p j/k, he's always been aces in my book.

Keep up the good work!

Congrats!

Here's to another... another 120 more years!

This is really cool. It turned out wonderfully.

Thanks so much to Karlie for putting it together.
Thanks to all the former staff who took the time to remember where they came from.

Kairon works for Namco Bandai? Cooool.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NWR! I've actually been following the site since way back 1999 when the GameCube was still the dolphin if you can believe that.

Recently, I've been going through a lot of personal anxiety due to my current economical status as well as how people perceive me and my efforts. I realized, though, that a lot of people actually appreciate not just my work but everyone's efforts as well.

I want to thank everyone who have supported me throughout my years as a staff writer, and I am looking forward to many more.

BTW, guys, yes, my legs really ARE that hairy :p

HAPPY 12th BIRTHDAY to the best damn Nintendo site on the interwebs! Very proud of you all, and keep kicking ass. My apologies to Karlie on the complete picture fail. GDC ran me over like a truck, and somehow the message didn't get to me. I'll blame it on TEH CAT.

It's like a collage of cool.

Also, yay for kitty pictures.

I was a little surprised not to see Billy mentioned. Other than that, really cool feature. I actually forgot or didn't know some of them (mainly the earlier staff members).

Happy birthday NWR, and I'm so sorry for boycotting the site in the early part of the aughts back when I gave a crap about GameFAQs character contests.

My only complaint is that I know what 3/4 of the RFN crew looks like, but no Greg.

Happy Birthday! 12 years!

What would have been nice is if each picture featured a number with a list for everyone's name (where is TYP?). Overall, keep up the good work and I hope for another twelve years of awesomeness from this site.

Mop it up · « **Reply #15 on:** March 07, 2011, 05:54:18 PM »

It's pretty crazy that it's been twelve years already. I've been around for about ten of them, and it really doesn't feel like it's been that long.

I messaged you way before GDC ever began! I was tempted to write the whole bonus page in "TEH CAT" speech, but then I remembered that we taught him English at one point.

If you want names, check out the rest of the pages of the article. TYP's the first name on the "Current Staff" page (Michael Cole).

6 more years and NWR will turn 18

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 07, 2011, 06:26:04 PM »

I just realized something... I think NWR may have been the pioneer in internet cat shenanigans with Louie! Forget Fred the cat, Louie is where its at!

Stogi · « **Reply #19 on:** March 07, 2011, 06:31:15 PM »

So PGC has been dead for over a decade? Craziness.

Oh and congrats.

So much valuable time.. wasted..

Thanks
