On this day 25 years ago, our little website began. A lot has happened since then, but somehow, you're all still here reading it.

We started the site to bring Aussies on the internet local Nintendo news, which at the time was hard to come by and only sparsely covered by the big sites.

Now, most of those big sites don't even exist.

More than ever, independent, no-bullshit Nintendo coverage is needed and we're here for as long as we're needed.

Thanks for the support, and for being part of the journey.
