Wanted to save this post after all of the big news of the day was posted. This is a pretty big day for Nintendo Everything, as you can probably guess! Make sure you check out Malinko’s post about a site redesign from yesterday. And before I forget, I’ll have a site update on the weekend….Keep your eyes open for that!

——————–

Okay, that title might have been a bit over-the-top. But yes, Nintendo Everything “officially” turns one today. Even though the site has technically been up for a little more than a year, I consider that, a year ago today, the site really began.

I’ve been mulling over what to write for awhile. It’s difficult for me to gather my thoughts, especially since so much has happened over the past 365 days. I mean, a lot has happened in terms of both the website and in the gaming world. We’ve seen the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, and tons of other amazing titles. We went through Nintendo’s disappointing E3 conference, only to be blown away with their October events. Third-party titles such as The Conduit have given us some hope for the future and we went through the announcement of the DSi. And that barely touches the surface!

“We also have Dragon Age, and we recently released the Sonic handheld game for DS, and we’ve got other DS plans that we’re thinking about these days. It’s quite a bit of stuff. We’ve a pretty a big plate full of things we’re working on. Across the studio we number probably over 400 people.” – Greg Zeschuk, BioWare co-founder

BioWare has expressed interest in making a sequel to Sonic Chronicles, but reviews on the game have been mixed. I’d expect the company’s next project to involve something other than Sonic.
