Our Nintendo Life Begins...

Posted by Anthony Dickens

As they always say, "it has to start somewhere", it just so happens that somewhere is right here. Lets get the ball rolling with our first ever article.

So, this is what an article looks like huh? Hopefully we'll be seeing a lot more of these over the next few years. That's right kids, we're in it for the long haul this time. We'll be looking for new staff as and when new parts of the site become live.

Our primary goal is to get the site fully operational in time for the launch of the "Revolution" console. That's a number of months away, could almost be up to a year. We'll get things moving straight away though. Quite a lot of CMS work still to be done, but the shell of the site can come together pretty quickly I imagine.

Hopefully we'll have a bunch of stuff working by 2006, the year of the revolution. If you have any suggestions of things you want on the site, you know how to contact me, just do it.

Looks like this is the first Nintendo Life article. Everything had to start somewhere. The Nintendo Revolution (Wii) is a great console and I thank Nintendo for what they have done.

#37 Prime number, w00t! B-) I am bumping this thread, just for the record :D (not like it'll do anything though)

BTW, would you believe I started out with www.VC-Reviews.com and didn't even realize Nintendo Life existed until a few weeks before the merger??? :P

This is the very first news article on Nintendo Life way back in November 2005.

I actually came to this site as my first visit I think in December 2008. And when I was reading comments on Zelda: Majora's Mask, I decide that I wanted to create my account on June 1st, 2009. And to put random comments.

I also wanted my name to be changed to "Nintendogames1000". My other name was just plain stupid. But at least my newer name is better. :)

It's not like many people can RESIST panning down to the lowest page when they look at the long list of them in the news section. Curiosity got the better of me. I had no idea the site was this old... O.o

It's funny how half of the comments on this article were posted this year.
I wonder if any of the old users still visit the site.

EDIT: I just realised that three comments have been posted on this article on the same day! :O What are the chances?

I don't think they mean project cafe.

I think this was about a year before the wii's release.

so, 2006. not 2012

Greetings peasents! I bring new from the future!
Nintendolife was once thought to be a mere stand-alone site. Never being able to become competition of those other gaming sites. But I bring joyous news! Joyous news indeed! Nintendolife will one day partner with Eurogamer.com, Europe's top gaming website. In a few years, the rest of the Bit. Trip series shall be released, and they will be put in compilations for the upcoming revolution and a certain portable! And the portable version shall bear a quote from Nintendolife. And last but not least, Nintendolife shall gain its own shelf in the eShop! What is this eShop you may ask? All in due time sir, all in due time. I am most pleased with this website. Now, back to he future I go!
woosh
