A renewed commitment to Nintendo Everything and Gaming Everything

When I started Nintendo Everything in 2007, I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into or what I was doing. In many ways, that still holds true. But I can say that the daily routine of updating the site (and later two sites when GE launched) brought me great joy – there’s something about sharing news updates with other enthusiastic gamers that never gets old.

Since joining the blogosphere, I unfortunately haven’t been able to fully devote myself to NE or GE due to other obligations. My time has been sapped away time and time again. But for the first time in, well… ever, I’m free to dedicate my complete and total effort to both sites. These years have been filled with an insane amount of rushing and lack of time needed to make NE and GE the best they can be, but the situation is much different now.

Nintendo Everything is approaching its sixth anniversary, and Gaming Everything isn’t a baby any longer having been around for three years. Yet, not much is different. We’ll always be a gaming news blog first and foremost (with other awesome stuff sprinkled in, like Austin’s Eggbusters series), and I have no intentions of changing that. But what we can change is the kind of news we feature and how we present it.

How can we evolve the sites further? How can we more appropriately provide gaming updates? These are just a couple of questions I hope we can address going forward. Other changes and additions beyond news are in the planning stages as well, though I’ll have to leave you with that tease for the time being.

For Nintendo Everything, one thing I’d like to accomplish immediately is the return of Game Nights. This will return after E3 – permanently, I’ll add – so look forward to more details about that soon.

There are hopefully exciting times ahead for Nintendo Everything and Gaming Everything. I will do everything in my power to take both of them to the next level. I hope you’ll join us for the journey ahead.

One final note: I’m retiring the name “Valay”. By using my real name (which is Brian, by the way!), I feel as though I can be more personable and not just some computer/robot-like thing updating a couple of websites behind the scenes. It’s for the best, I think!
