The Legend of Neil: Season 3 Ep. 2

I’m starting to feel more like myself this week. I’m catching up on my sleep, which has to be the reason why I’m feeling better. Time for me to keep the routine going, which means I’m off to bed! See you all in a few, short hours. I post a lot of boxart here on GoNintendo. For those of you that have been with the site for a long time, you know why I post boxart. For those that are new, I’ll quickly explain! I think boxart is a hugely important part of the video game business, but unfortunately, it’s an aspect that a lot of companies seem to ignore. Just think about all the missed sales opportunities that are the result of ugly boxart. I know that when I was younger, I would ignore games that had crappy boxart. I’ve become a bit smarter since then (just a bit), but there are still millions of consumers that won’t touch a game if the boxart isn’t appealing. Boxart in and of itself has the power to be extremely appealing in a number of ways. I have some game boxes that I feel deserve to be framed and sitting on my walls. Some of this stuff is truly breath-taking, but the boxart in the video below is the exact opposite. Seriously, check out this video and picture a younger version of yourself walking into GameStop. With a few exceptions, would the covers shown below interest you, or turn you away? Video Games | 100 Ugly Boxshots XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii

GoNintendo ‘End of Day’ thoughts - The most extreme way you’ve shown your Nintendo love

Jul 08, 2009 in nintendo wii, wii

I got to swim in the ocean a bit earlier on Tuesday. The water was absolutely perfect, from waves to temperature. While I had a to of fun, all that swimming knocked the life out of me! I’m heading to bed to get some much-needed sleep, but I’ll see you guys in a few, short hours. Here’s to a fantastic Wednesday for all. Video Games | Link spriting timelapse XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii I want to say this right from the start. I think the above video is absolutely awesome…a true bit of love for Nintendo. It’s unabashed Nintendo love in a very palatable form. I know I’m jealous of the skills on display! You and I both know that Nintendo fans really love the Big N. Microsoft has their fans, and Sony has their legion as well, but Nintendo fans are very well known for pushing things to the very edge, and then leaping to the next level. We can’t help it, we just love Nintendo that much! If you are reading this site right now, chances are that you’re a pretty big Nintendo fan. With that said, there must be one thing you’ve done in your life that went a little above and beyond when it comes to being a Big N follower. What was that one step you took that even you think might have been a little too far…yet you’re very proud of it! For me, there were a few things. I guess one of the more extreme acts of love had to be my younger days. At one point in my life, I used to take game magazines and cut out every single Nintendo-related ad or picture. I’d then take those pictures, either super tiny or full page, and taped them all over the door to my bedroom. In a matter of months, you couldn’t even see my door! I’m talking about everything from character art to even tiny clippings that mentioned Nintendo. When I look back on it, I can’t believe that I did it…but I’m happy I did! Leave a comment and share your dark Nintendo secret. How far have you taken your obsession?!
