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.

The first ever article. This is like a piece of history or something?
Wow, I'm the first person to post here this year.
And I'm the second.
BISCUITS FOR ALL!
oh the golden days...the days when i wasnt here...
is the stig still a moderator, i havent seen him anywhere
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.
Wow, the very first Nintendo Life article! It feels as if I'm stepping on hallowed ground! Great job on constructing such a marvelous site pHaT-aNt_! Nintendo Life has come a long way and it keeps getting better and better! Keep up the good work!
Wow! So this is NintendoLife's first article!!
Woah, NL's first article! Thanks for making this site, Ant! It's amazing to see how such an awesome site started from this article!
My comment is now on a piece of history and Im recorded in it!
So is mine!
Can't wait to import one of those "Revolution" consoles from Japan.
#37 Prime number, w00t! I am bumping this thread, just for the record (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???
Dang, this site's older than I thought.
Cool its like im in a time machine
It feels like I'm standing virtually in history.
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.
Wow... The first article.
What is this....NintendoLife? What the...?
Doom doom doom.
55 months later..... and i still don't have a Revolution!!
....all I have is this little gadget called the Wii....
Wow people still post here and its SUPER OLD
i love how people randomly stumble across this article, lol
Best thing we've ever published.
History right here
zomg! Pro we posted at the same time!
Wow, the beginning of a legacy.
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
where am i oh god there are scary people everywhere
somebody saaaaaaave meeeeee
Wow, the very beginning. This is before they knew it was the Wii. And now, NintendoLife is the best gaming site on the interweb.
This is the part with the tomatoes, right?
Must add to the lunacy, almost 5 year wtf yes awesome amazing real sentences in comments be overrated yo
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! What are the chances?
The post that started it all.... Wow.
Nintendo Life started three days after my 30th birthday. I had no idea!
Yay, posting on the first post.
Woo, posting on the first article 5 years later... Am I doing it right?
EDIT: Make that 4 years and 364 days
What is this... I don't even...
Yay I get the first post in 2011... Go me...!
@zez
Well im second
You all Sicken me!
NL won't last for long
So when does the Revolution come out?
So this was when there was nintendo life, wiiware world, and vc reviews all on different sites?
@pixelman
well, obviously they mean project cafe, so around 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
Who's the noob guy above me?
Wow Nintendo Life in 2005. Its changed so much.
So this was the first Nintendo Life article... Why does it feel like I'm empty inside...
It begins.....
Wow. this is literally like a gaming generation in the future now. This is a great site and always has been
Wow, the 1st Article ever!!!
And now the Wii U revolution is coming!
awsum
Happy 7th birthday!
Aww! It's 7 years to this day! That's awesome! Happy 7th Birthday Guys!
Wow! Happy 7th Birthday NintendoLife!!! I couldn't be happier to be a part of this wonderful team!
Hahaha Happy 7th Birthday NLife!! Nice article @antdickens ;D
This is what Link felt like when he picked up the Master Sword.
Congratulations on making to 7 years old Nintendo Life!
Yay for first article.
Happy Birthday NintendoLife! You will forever live on my bookmarks bar
Wow, first article. Took me a while to get here though.
It has come a long way.
Wow, didn't know this site was around before the Wii even came out. Fascinating.
Wow! I'm looking at history right here! To think I hated the Wii when this site was created. Nintendo FLUX.
@TheKingOfTown You could of just copied and pasted the address for the "recent articles" then deleted the numbers at the end and put in '680'. It took about 5 seconds for me.
I'm going through some of the early articles and wow. Some of the most commented stories have like 12 comments. Y'all sure have gained a lot more followers since then! Now we have 600+ comments on some articles.....
A long time ago!
Congra.. Oh... I'm 8 years too late...
It's so weird to think I didn't even know what the words "video" & "game" even meant together back then... I was only a 6 year old in Kindergarten, now I'm 14 & in 8th grade!!
Thus begins the tradition of using Paper Mario for miscellaneous articles.
Ah, Nintendo Life. After seeing how underwhelming this page is, however, I'm not sure if that 45 minutes of hitting the "Next" button was worth it.
7.
So, this is where all started
A lot of new faces... or old... I don't know! People I haven't seen before. I guess they went away.
A nice piece of history.
The road's been long, but the reward far more greater. I'm happy to be part of this community... this family.
I was so surprised to find that NL is so old. I started on VC-reviews and later fell in love with WiiWareWorld. I was sad that WiiWareWorld would merge but NL turned out to be a genius move. It carried over all the features from the previous sites and had a super intuitive section menu, so if I selected WiiWare I practically had WiiWareWorld with a pretty new skin.
This site is the prime example of web design for a blog/blog network and the extensive game database is great! To know that the there was an original NL site before makes that marvellous merger even more impressive! Thank you!
Best comments section. And look, I got the 99th post here! Congrats to whoever gets the 100th.
Was looking for this, and sweet! #100!
I'm from 2015 and I'm a little lost...
Damnit almost first comment of 2015 here
HELLO
Happy 10th Birthday, Nintendo Life!
Wow.... It's just like a time machine!
Double digits! Happy birthday, NintendoLife!
Happy birthday NL!
Happy tenth birthday, you wonderful people!
Happy 10th birthday NL!
Can't believe its been ten years...the name of the article is pretty great I might add! Let's hope for another ten years!
That Revolution sounds pretty cool. I personally want an NX myself.
I'm from the future, and I can report that things are gonna get all SWITCHed up for Nintendo!
Happy birthday all you lovely people!
Habeerday!
Twelve years and nine months after Ant cajoled us into writing articles for his latest pet project. Near enough 20 years since the IRC chatroom that started it all.
Safe to say the quality of writing has vastly improved since our time! I remember when we had like 10 reviews and two of them were for Starfox Adventures XD
@ReInstall @Visor - feeling old?
@Ed_Rush still alive and kicking?
@Nanaki it has certainly been a while! Good to see you’re still alive.
Happy 13th birthday, NintendoLife!
Happy 13th, Nintendo Life! Let the grumpy teenage years begin! Nah, in all seriousness, it's fantastic to see the site still going from strength to strength. Long may it last!
Happy 15th birthday Nintendo Life!
@Visor this feels like how you could ‘poke’ someone on Facebook and randomly get one every few years.
You’re it!
(Let’s hope Ant doesn’t go all Zuckerberg on us!)
@The_Stig hi friend
It feels like being a part of history, commenting on this article! Stay Fresh Nintendo Life!!
One more message from the future. To another 18 years!
I still can’t believe Nintendo Life existed on the internet in 2005, before the Wii was released. How crazy!
@Dysnomia so true!
Wooo, let’s go 18!!! Fun fact, Nintendolife is now old enough to drink in Quebec! Onward for another 18!!!
Wow this first article has me pumped. Can’t wait to see what this revolution thing is all about!
