Job update time! Today was my first day as Larian Studios' new Storytelling Lead! It's wild to be back in an office fulltime for the first time in more than a decade -- and in another country to boot -- but it's wonderful to find community so far from home.

Nintenkats will be on hiatus while I work out the direction I want to take it. I want to say a genuine thank you for your support of this project. It's brought me a lot of joy to get back to my roots in blogging about Nintendo.

Big announcement from me! On October 8 I will be moving to the UK for a new opportunity that will take me out of the media (but I'll still be in the games industry).

We had a Nintendo Direct today, and that means a new Nintenkats newsletter! I shared the five announcements that intrigued me the most, starting with the shock revival of the Virtual Boy... which I'm kind of into?

Starting the process of paring down my collection. A lot of amazing memories in here including the launch copy of Pokemon Pearl I got in Japan in 2006 🫡 So many hours of joy. I hope they bring someone else equal happiness

New Pokemon TCG Pocket set just dropped and I look forward to seeing the art for this pull. I’m sure it’s very cool. Oh and this makes dragons viable? Neat

Shoutout to the lady who complimented my cool Axe of the Blood Good hoodie then subbed to the show on the spot when I told her it was my pod

At the SDCC Scott Pilgrim EX panel:

Bryan Lee O’Malley on how Scott Pilgrim EX fits into the overall tapestry: It’s like Zelda. Scott’s in a band. He meets Ramona. What happens next?

Tribute Games: It exists in this Zelda-like continuity where mythical things happen
