Were you on the forums in the PGC era?  Some of us have been here since then.

We do have some good podcasts here. I'm on them sometimes, but mostly just when I'm talking about hockey, which I imagine most people don't listen to.

I'm up to episode #271, starting from the beginning of RFN, and I've heard you mentioned several times in reference to your forum posts. It's cool to meet you on here.

No, I don't think so. If I was I have completely forgotten about it. I just remember walking to the town library and checking PGC, Gamespot, and other such sites for hardware specs, rumours and anything else I could find about the system. After the Dreamcast failed, I jumped on the GCN bandwagon. Honestly, that was probably the best time ever to be a Nintendo fanboy. There was so much potential and momentum in the beginning of the generation. It's amazing that with all of the changes in the company and the internet since then, this website is still here and it still has many of the original people involved with it.






Edit: This is a little off topic, but I just remembered... Not sure if I posted this on PGC or not but I'm pretty sure it was, but I had this bat **** crazy theory that Nintendo's new handheld after the GBA was going to be disc system like the PSP, but instead of playing those minidiscs, it would use Gamecube discs and feature a Gamecube system on a chip that was redesigned for low power consumption. It would have launched with a full library of games already on the market. Games that had LAN play like Mariokart and Kirby's Air Ride would use Wifi for multiplayer, and memory cards would be shrunk down, but there would be an adapter to copy saves over from the Gamecube. I dunno, it made so much sense to me back then. As I remember, the other people on the forum thought I was insane, and rightly so. At the time, I also believed that the Phantom console was actually going to come to market and dominate Sony and Microsoft. Boy did I have big dreams.

I've never actually been on a numbered episode of RFN. I've been on a couple of live ones, and assorted E3 stuff, but most of my appearances have been on Connectivity, which I'd also recommend if you haven't checked it out yet. We've got a lot of good podcasts here, between those and Radio Trivia, and it's a lineup I don't think anyone else can match in regard to Nintendo.

Hey everybody, as you can see I'm new here  ;D  I have been reading and listening to the podcasts for a while and the community always seemed cool so I decided to join. I'm 26, I live in the Netherlands, I studied business and I recently started my own company. Also, I have been a big Nintendo fan since the N64 and the GB. That's it for now I think  ;D

Just don't go into the funhouse. The tough kids go there to chew bubble gum and play arcade games and billiards. No place for an up-and-coming forum member like yourself to frequent.

Hello world, I am new to this here site, I love Nintendo, well all video games but especially Nintendo games.
I have come to make new friends, and hopefully rekindle my excitement for the upcoming NX which I am hoping will be the greatest thing that Nintendo has done since Super NES.

I know that is a long username, its not super original either so you can just call me Mikey for short if you want.

You can call me Mikey if my username is too long.

I couldn't think of anything original and Sunshine is probably my favorite game of all time, so yeah I guess I just like Sunshine ;D

It actually is a good game. I hated it at first but it has grown on me over the years.

And yes I do like Michael Bay films. I don't like all of them, especially the Transformers sequels but I loved the first one and the Island and Bad Boys are also pretty good movies. What can I say, I am from Texas, we like our guns.

Hello! My name is subliminalman! I've been listening to RFN since just before Guillome joined and have been really enjoying it. I keep hearing that I should join the forums from the podcast so I decided to finally do it!


I really love Nintendo games, especially Zelda titles. I've been enjoying collecting all of the costumes in Triforce Heroes at the moment and playing Yoshi's Wooly World with my fiance.


I'm also a game developer developer both as an indie (I released a few games on mobile and am now working on PC and soon to be Wii U) and part of the industry (I do museum and installation games). If you're interested I can tell you about them.


Looking forward to being part of this community!


Cheers!
I like to make games. www.skypetsgame.com

Hey, I'm fantanoice. I streetpassed someone advertising this site, so here I am.

I work as a video game programmer, so it should be a given that I like games and technology. Hope we get to be good pals soon!

With a username and avatar like that, I wish subliminalman was a bigger part of the community but he hasn't logged on since November. :(

The Mii was KBK from New York, United States. I live in Australia, so perhaps it was someone on holiday/vacation? That or a local who happens to have a US 3DS  :P

I think that's Andrew Brown, one of our Australian Correspondents. He is from there, but has some foreign systems.
