slothian Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hello everyone, This July - between Sunday 15th July and Sunday 22nd July - we're marking the 35th anniversary of the NES with a full-blown 8 day week dedicated to all things Nintendo. I am directing traffic, and here's the outline: Sunday 15/07/2018 NES/Famicon Monday 16/07/2018 Gameboy (and its successors) Tuesday 17/07/2018 SNES Wednesday 18/07/2018 Nintendo 64 Thursday 19/07/2018 Gamecube Friday 20/07/2018 Nintendo DS (and its successors) Saturday 21/07/2018 Wii/ Wii U Sunday 22/07/2018 Switch So whilst each day will be console-specific, you can pitch in with your favourite game(s), or even claim bragging rights to a franchise and chart each entry per console (Mario & Zelda being the most obvious franchises to be snapped up!). And if there's something Nintendo-related that doesn't fit under a particular console - be it a movie, a cartoon show or one of the lesser known pieces of hardware - stake your claim and I'll find a space for it! Get your proposals in here and I'll give my blessing if it hasn't already been taken by an Earth-2 staffer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pan-dub Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Could talk about any of these for days. I'll shotgun Zelda and offer to collab with any system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 If they're still up for it, Dubs, James, and I have dibs on The Wizard. We've been itching to do that for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Know Who Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I'm gonna sit this one out as a contributor (the only games I know much about are Gen I-III of Pokemon) but I know it'll be fun to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 I will probably do a short piece on Earthbound but that's mainly just because that's my thing. Since I missed talking about it during 1000, anyone up for talking about Smash Bros? For that matter, I am down for reviewing Super Marios Bros.The Movie or Pokemon The First Movie.

teenalphabro Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 I'm interested in doing something, if nothing else. Admittedly, I don't have the strongest connection to Nintendo, I could probably cover something with someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 If you want to join me on Super Mario bros., you're more than welcome. Otherwise, if there any Nintendo Franchise or character you enjoy greatly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not heard about Earthbound until recently. I look forward to it. I look forward to that for different reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted July 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 UPDATE: We're postponing Nintendo Week indefinitely to allow time for more contributions. PM me if you'd like to contribute, and I'll announce when the week is likely to be rescheduled when I get a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
