As the new year approaches, it's the season of goodwill and change, new things and new horizons (and not just NS2 Editions), which means it's time for some news we've been sitting on for a little while. Yes, as you probably guessed from the headline, our lovely video producer Felix Sanchez is disembarking the good ship Nintendo Life.
Felix — gentleman, scholar, musician, Mario Party devotee, and thoroughly top chap — joined Alex and Zion at the start of 2022 and has been an absolute joy to work with over the past four years. While he's moving on to work for a company in his native Denmark, you can be sure the entire NL crew will be keeping in touch with this particularly lovely person.
Please check out his farewell video above, where he goes into a little more detail about his next chapter. We wish you nothing but the best, Mr Felix, and we hope to catch up with you IRL soon!
Ah, time. Let's close out this end-of-an-era post (the second one in only a handful of months, no less!) on a less-sad note: Here's 30 minutes of Felix chatting with Alex about his personal top five games of the year.
We'll have more to announce soon on the future of the NL YouTube team (don't worry, Alex isn't going anywhere!), so keep an eye out for exciting news on the video front. Until then, we love you, Felix!

My second ever comment (created an account today after lurking for a year), I just wanted to say how much you’ll be missed Felix! All the best with your next adventure we will watch your career with great interest
Wait, what the actual heck? Seriously? What's happening to this place?? Where is everyone going? 😭 Goodbye sweet Felix, thank you for being a cool guy.
thank you Felix youll be missde!
It's been such a joy to watch you bring so much passion and humour to the group. I've found you to be the most relatable for me at least, probably because we're both musical and around the same age.
You will be sorely missed that's for sure!
Goodbye and held og lykke, Felix!
It's time for Felix to give his lovely locks a trim
There seems to be a trend. Join the N-Life video team, grow some trendy hair (facial hair optional) then leave.
We need volunteers to join Alex's hairwatch.
In all seriousness, farewell Felix. Good luck on your new adventures.
Wait what!? Who's now gonna teach the Englishmen how to say "rødgrød med fløde"?
Du vil blive savnet, o min kære landsmand
@AlanShore watch the video and Felix explains all!
Much like everyone at NL and the wider Hookshot team, it’s been an absolute pleasure having Felix on the team over the past few years. Time has really flown by! I’ve really enjoyed our time together and looking forward to cheering Felix on in his new role and hope to see him again soon! Much love ❤️
All the very best for your future Felix. You will be missed ❤️
Very understandable, we will miss him though!
Loved the quirky humor, his vids about the Nintendo alarmo, DK Dizziness and Plants versus zombie problems for their information and Felixy twists.
Also will remember a certain Scandinavian tech guru that looked a lot like Felix in one video, remember getting a good laugh out of that!
It was really refreshing having someone who grew up with a more modern console generation share his ideas. I felt like he had a great synergy with the rest of the people we saw him work with!
Good luck Felix!
Felix and Zion were the best part...
Good luck in the future.
Dang I hope Alex isn’t next D:
All the best with your next role lad and a Happy New Year.
Really enjoyed your work with NL from the outset and your Youtube channel. Best of luck!
Wish you the best Felix in your future work (didn't know you're from Denmark, nice) - nowadays I barely watch Nintendo Life's YouTube channel, but quite appreciated the little I've seen there that you took part in, now including your farewell video, and even more so your contributions here on the site!
Felix leaving NL and Rosie leaving PS Access sad days.
Good luck for the future Felix , and happy new year.
Dang, how hard is Alex to work for? 😋 I was just thinking that his latest look makes me think he's leaving to become a pirate, and then Gavin had to use a disembarking ship metaphor to solidify my fancy. 😆
Good luck Felix, you’ll be missed and always came across as a really nice guy on the videos I saw. Make sure you still find time to play lots of Nintendo in your new job!
Aw man, and this just a few months after Zion left... good luck with whatever you're doing next, Felix! I'll make sure to watch the video later.
I really hope Alex keeps sticking around for as long as possible though. His "Hello there, lovely peeeeeeople" catchphrase is way too iconic and I sometimes even use it myself 😅.
We'll miss you, Felix! Your personality really added to the enjoyment of following Nintendo Life. I'll be following your career!
@Ornstein Created an account today and already figured out how to make a profile gif! Maybe you should apply for Felix's position with your tech wizardry.
All the best. Success for the future.
Nintendo for life.
1UP to start
Best of luck for the future Felix, and don't be a stranger! Much love ❤️
@Thomystic from the said year of lurking I knew the possibilities!
Good luck, Felix!
@Ornstein welcome! 👋
Best of luck Felix, and thanks for your hard work !
Best of luck to you Felix, for your future projects! Hopefully there will be no need to swear in Danish. You have lovely curly hair.
Edit: What is the name of the song, at the end of the video? So nice.
Edit 2: It is a song from the game Tunic, Memories of Memories.
Might need to extend the deadline for new video producer a bit longer now lmao. We need two video producers instead of one now.
@Ornstein
Welcome to NintendoLife!
🥺🥺🥺
All the best, Felix!
I wasn't big into Felix when he first joined but slowly he won me over and grew into the role, so kudos to you sir and now your shoes are big ones to fill 👞👞
Thanks for your helpful insight into all things Nintendo over the years and most importantly, Good luck in your new job Felix 👍
hes away get hair cut in new year fritz will join nintendolife
Sad to see you go Felix. I have loved your videos and your banter with Alex, Zion, and the rest of the video crew. I wish you well in your future endeavors!
All the best Felix.
😔 Um. Can I be honest? All my favourite people have left. I'll be here less often. Really don't like some of the "reporting" of the others remaining.
First Zion and now Felix? What a bummer! Though I thought I detected a melancholic glint in Felix’s eyes lately. I’ll have to watch the farewell video tonight.
Whatever the circumstances, Felix, it’s been a joy watching your videos and banter with the NL crew, and I’ll miss you. Wishing you much happiness and success as you continue down life’s road!
Noooo.
Ok, please give Alex a raise. A life size Doshin. Something. Anything. Don't let him go too.
Sincerely,
The Lovely People.
We will miss you, Felix! It has gone too fast. I loved your discussions with Alex and Zion. Wishing you well on your next position. 👏
Well…………..
So…………
I kinda don’t know whether I should say this but……….what the hell.
When Felix joined I was like WTF? This guy is like 12 years old. What the hell are they doing? I’m 55. I’m not even gonna watch his videos. This site isn’t for me any more……
I was wrong. Felix has been brilliant.
And it’s kind of reassuring that he has explained exactly why he’s leaving and I’m glad he’ll be happy. But it is most certainly a loss for this site.
And I’ll miss him. As will the site.
But I’m sure he won’t read this;
As for the site. Jon, Zion, Felix…….I’m confident the site will hire sensibly. And replace them with someone good.
But right now, after losing Zion and Felix it doesn’t exactly look good.
Good luck Felix! We’ll miss you.
Good luck buddy! I hope everything will go well for you
Thank you for the work done, Felix! Always a pleasure listening to you.
Good luck 😊 you will be missed!
What is happening on the video editing side?
I’ll miss you Felix, you were always passionate and wholesome (and no doubt always will be!) good luck
Sorry to see you go, Felix, but wish you all the best in your future endeavours! I'm also so glad Alex is staying! He's been one of my main reasons for checking Nintendo Life since I discovered the YouTube channel, haha!
Best of luck my friend. It only seems like 5 minutes ago when you joined and I wish you the very best of luck with your future endeavors. quite a few people have left Nintendo Life now since I originally joined in 2013
Best of luck Felix. I've been critical of you more than once since you started here, but I do think you've shown some good progress in that time. Hope you can carry at least part of that experience forward to wherever you're going next.
Ah, man. Wish Felix all the best but will miss him and his videos. Really valued his honest point of view and the way he shared his thoughts. Through his videos I was tipped off on what to buy or investigate, including a few hidden gems - Mario Hoops 3-on-3 on the DS being one. Will always associate him with happy coffee breaks, watching his videos. Best of luck, Felix! Thanks for all your videos, brother

Really liked Felix's videos over the years . Not to be a Debbie Downer but if NL ever folds I will have zero other options for Nintendo news. I just can't get into or trust other sites.
Good luck, Felix!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the best! What a great character!
Awww, sorry to see Felix go but also happy for him to have a new opportunity - we'll all miss him here!
All the best Felix. You will be missed
Yoooo! You gotta come back and give us Felix plays Wind Waker
All the best Felinks.
We'll miss you Felix! Best of luck
I’m gonna miss him. Whenever I got to hear Felix instead of Alex’s voice during video reviews I always was happy to not hear Alex’s catchphrases. 😂🤣.
Jk!! Happy new year Nintendo life!! And best of luck Felix.
Take care dude, thanks for the memories and all the best.
<insert Darth Vader noooooooooo .gif>
The reason for is split is rumoured that they had a disagreement on which was the best Zelda game of all time. It's quite obviously Wind Waker.
Thank you for the amazing and creative energy you brought to NintendoLife Felix! Best of luck in your future endeavors!
All the best to you - thank you! <3
Can't believe it's been four years already! Feels like he started only yesterday, time does fly. Well, best of luck Felix and thank you.
Alex is going to be a busy chap all on his own. Hope NL have someone new lined up.
Thanks for all the fun and interesting stuff, Felix! All the best to you!
And a big hug to Alex. I know how it feels to lose a beloved colleague and two in that short of time must be hard.
A cheerful and healthy 2026 to everyone!
Good luck on your next adventure, Felix!
Skål! 🍻
Aw I really liked your videos. Best of luck with your next chapter~
Already? Feels like he only just joined!
What do you mean it’s been multiple years since he joined?
Dude, feels like you just git here, youll be missed
I will miss you brother! Best wishes on your next adventure!

Good luck with your new projects Felix! That was great having you here <3
Poor Alex is on his own now! My good lad you really are the absolute pillar of that yt part of NL I which I'm convinced is very important to the site. I hope you stay and you get to fool around with new buddies soon.
You're a bleddy star Felix, and I wish you all the best!

@The_Nintendo_Expat Did you change your name or are 2 people using a really bad Pic of George? Man, I never noticed how bad that Pic was before. Nintendant maybe, or there abouts? Good luck w/ the steamdeck. Console gaming is losing it's luster these days all over.
@rjejr
LOL it's still me, -wc-, The Nintendo Pedant 😅
I changed because I felt I'd lost the title since I was kind of jumping ship, and chose a new name to reflect that.
the pic is bad because it's actually cropped from a candid photo of Jason Alexander from life, looking annoyed at presumably a fan or paparazzi taking a pic while he was trying to demo a Gamecube at a kiosk in public somewhere. People think it's Costanza though and I usually don't correct them. 😂
I've been on here saying "I wish the Switch had themes/better controller mapping/folders/return policy/performance options/better eShop/fullsize sticks/real dpad..." and on and on for years, and it turns out the Steamdeck was the right choice all along! I could not be more pleased with it, even though it feels like I am super late to the party. people here may not believe it but when the Switch generation started, I was still a fiercely loyal Nintendo fan, with full faith in the company even through what many people describe as the "dark days" of n64, gamecube, and especially Wii U. I loved all of those eras and I still do! but this is a "news" blog, not a retrospective, so I usually comment on "now" as opposed to "then."
for me, the Steamdeck is exactly what console gaming should be by now, if progress and consumer needs were made top priority instead of whatever they've been doing. alas, I guess that makes me a PC gamer, something I never wanted to be 😆
PS - not sure what you mean by "Nintendant or thereabouts." Glad you reached out and thanks for asking! always good to hear from you. ✌️
Happy trails, Felix!
@The_Nintendo_Expat Thanks for the reply and teh pic explanation. That guy is George Constanza for life, like it or not, and he sould be thankgul for it. I mean Danny Devito got the shorter ebnd of thestickin the looks dept, oun defintely intended, but ook at his career, Loue Deplama, Twins, Its Alwats Sunny. He;s just alwats going to be Constanza.
In the future all gaming will be Steamdeck, or there abouts. Why do I need a home console when my tablet or phone can do tv out wirelessly? Why does the Switch 2 even need a dock? I’m still not 100% sold on Cloud gaming but SD cards are a thing. Unless you;re Apple. Nintnedo will go 3rd party mobile just like everyone else.
Lots of talk lately over on PS about PS6. Unless we get 8k TVs nobody needs a PS6. And nobody needs an 8k tv, most tv is still 1090p.
Sorry about all the typos, new keyboard for my iPad for Christmas. Who needs a PC? Happy New Years. 🥂
My heart is broken
