[OmicronTurtle]

Conás a tá tu?

Long time lurker

Been reading Gonintendo and listening to the podcast since ~webisode 40-something.

From Ireland, have a Wii and DS that are collecting dust, have a 360 which I just finished LA Noire on, and have an iPhone 3GS which I do most of my waiting-in-line gaming.

Grew up on Nintendo since the NES days. I've had every Nintendo system except Virtual Boy (don't think it even came out here).
My favorite games of all time are Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario World, Mario Kart 64, Eternal Darkness, Civilization 4, Escape from Monkey Island, Goldeneye 64, Mass Effect series, and probably more

[Koopason]

Hello Everyone, I've been lurking this site for years now and I finally got enough motivation to actually join the community.
I've owned almost all of Nintendo's consoles since the SNES, and some of my favorite games are SMRPG and TWEWY. I'm also a fan of Anime and Manga, some of my favorites are YuYu Hakusho and Monster.

[TeriosLP]

Hey guys I'm new here! Decided to just go ahead, and join the forum! I'm a big Nintendo fanboy, so I should be sticking here for a while. XD How's everyone today?

[aqpl3seeD]

Hello everyone!

My handle is aqpl3seeD but feel free to call me seed! I'm a married father of two. I work full-time in the CVS Distribution Center in MI and I'm a Phoenix! That is, I attend the University of Phoenix via their online Associates Degree program for IT/Programming.

My gaming "career" began with the SEGA Mastersystem. Didn't get the NES until a few years later but upgraded to the SNES not long after. I was hooked! A SEGA Genesis, N64, PSX, PS2 and SEGA DC later and I find myself in this generation of consoles. I currently own a Wii, PS3 and DS Lite but I plan on reserving a Wii U as soon as they start taking them.

I'm absolutely addicted to EA Sports NHL franchise (please VG Gods let them develop it for the Wii U!) specifically the GM Mode. The kids and I play a ton of racers and platformers, Mario Kart Wii and Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing are two of our favorites. Otherwise, I'm an RPG addict! More so JRPG's which is what my DS Lite is primarily used for.

Anyway, I've lurked around for quite some time but never registered here at the boards despite being a bit of a message board veteran. Took the plunge today and I look forward to meeting all my fellow Nintendo lovers!

[Teeks]

Sup? Name's Teeks. Been using Gonintendo for years now, very rarely post or comment, but I do on occasion. I'm a huge Nintendo nerd. Me and my friends have a Youtube channel, titled Adamant Ditto, all about our nerdy obsession with video games. This seems like a pretty cool place to talk with fellow Nintendo lovers so, here I am.

[TooManyToasters]

[All41UPs]

Hello there! I'm All41UPs. Avid DS fan and otaku. I want to convince everyone that the game industry shouldn't fail and I want to remind everyone that Nintendo is an important game company, because they revived the game industry in 1985. I don't want to see anymore negative threats and comments about Nintendo failing the industry and should quit.

[GF_Phazon]

Hello everyone! I've been a long time lurker of this site, checking it almost everyday to get my Nintendo news fix. I had considered becoming part of this community in the past, but my heavy load of college work wouldn't have allowed me to remain active. This has changed to some extent, but what really compelled me to share my thoughts was the recent beating Nintendo has been taking for their handling of the 3DS. As a passionate supporter of the company, it pains me to see the majority of the press write Nintendo off instead of taking an objective approach - recognizing not just their faults, but also their potential to turn things around. I am hopeful that Nintendo's efforts will lead them back on the road to success.

But anyway, getting back to myself - My real name is Cesar, and I reside in sunny (and a lot of times rainy) Miami, Florida. I am a 21 year old business major and graphic designer who enjoys writing and listening to music. As you can already tell, I am a big fan of the Metroid series. I also enjoy playing other Nintendo franchises such as Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and Fire Emblem. My interest in many of these series began during my childhood with the SNES and has carried on to this day. Currently, I find myself greatly enjoying my 3DS and catching up on games I've yet to play from my Wii and DS libraries, as well as anticipating the release of the Wii U. I'm glad to have finally joined this great community and look forward to discussing all things Nintendo with everyone here

[Bamstrokher]

Hi everyone,

My name is Joel and I have been keeping a watchful eye on the goings on around around Gonintendo since before the revolution began. I used to post quite frequently under different names but now I have settled on this one.

I started my gaming life on the NES and have been an avid Nintendo fan ever since. My favorite games: LOZ, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Megaman 1, 2 and X, Wizards and Warriors Gyruss, The Goonies 2, Final Fantasy 1, 2, 3, Super Metroid.

After 3D cutscene heavy games became forced into the market by Sony and were predominantly all that was left to play, I became jaded and left gaming for a while. I returned because The Wii was a temporary, glorious return to many of the types of games I love to play, and I am sad to see it die a premature death. I love arcade style games like Punchout, as well as light gun games and 2D platformers.

To all those loyal fans who don't see a silver lining in the clouds with regards to Nintendo's recent troubles, I have a few words of advice: Have faith. Things will get better. This is a smart, tough, resilient company, and they have been around since the beginning. When the dust finally settles and everyone else has folded their cards, they will be there at the very end as well.

[Lozfan687]

Hey I'm Lozfan687, i'm 14 I've been with Nintendo since i can remember. Anyone who has a 3ds add me to their friends list!! I'll be on most days. Can't wait for skyward sword!!

[NintendoDaily]

I've never formally introduced myself..

I am Garrett from Nintendodaily.org, I've been been following GoNintendo for a loooooooong time. Love the site!

[Radiant]

I joined here almost a month ago, but I haven't posted much outside of the GoNintendo blog section, so I never introduced myself.

I've probably been reading articles from this site for some time, but it wasn't until this E3 until I started actually following this site, and then I decided to join around a month ago. I've been into Nintendo games since I was really young. My family had an NES and I used to play games like Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunter and Mega Man 2 on it. After that my parents started buying me consoles. However, it wasn't until I got Pokemon Red where I really started enjoying games thoroughly. My favorite Nintendo series are Zelda, Paper Mario, Pokemon, Super Smash Bros., and I have to say Animal Crossing (only counting the first two. City Folk is a disaster and you do not want to get me started on that.).

About me otherwise? I'm 22 years old and kind of on a "break" from college, I don't want it to go on real long, but I also don't want to be stuck in university for 4 years because I don't have the money, so that's that. I'm going for Music, and hope to be a Instrumental Music Education major when I transfer. As my signature shows I love woodwinds, I also like brass, but I play woodwinds and they are amazing. ^_^

[ttwashere]

Hello! My name is Tyler. I've been reading GoNintendo for a few years so I figured I'd join the forum to chat with some cool people. Other than gaming my hobbies include Mixed Martial Arts, History and running my forum. I also like taking long walks on the beach and dancing in the rain. Wait, this isn't eHarmony is it?

[cortjezter]

I have 15 3DS games which is more then any sane person should have. My 2 favorite games of all time is Super Mario 64 and every Zelda game. I run and write my own blog about Nintendo and Gaming at http://thefourparksandmore.blogspot.com. I love both and they are both very unique so that is why I combined them. Lastly my favorite video game characters in no particlaur order are Link, Kirby, Mario, Tom Nook, and Mickey Mouse ( he has been in a bunch of video games) Thank you for letting me introduce my self!

[Zora]

HI EVERYBODY!

Hello peeps. My name is Zora. You know, like that aquatic race you all know and possibly love? Anyways, I'm a rather big Nintendo fan, probably too much for my own good, and have been looking for a sizable Nintendo forum to join. This place looks active enough, so I'll check it out and see how it goes, K?

[Rsmith7]
