Unlike Nintencoverage I got somewhere, and it all started when I created an account on blogger.com. I didn’t really know how I wanted things to play out back then so I took it slow, set my sights and decided on the goals I wanted to achieve. My number one goal was to become recognised by local writers and website owners who were interested in videogames.
I can proudly say that I have achieved this goal.
Thanks to Nintencoverage, I have met many great people (via the internet) and have been offered many great positions (all of which I took...well the majority), and even though the site didn’t grow, I did.
So now I will list everything I have achieved and the offers I have received:
Nintencoverage (Matmice) - December 2006 – April 2007
Nintencoverage (Blogspot) - April 2007 – 28 January 2009
Nintense – Mid-year 2007 – September 2007 (Site discontinued)
Aussie-Nintendo – Mid-year 2007 – December 2007
Nintendo Gamer (European) – Mid-year 2007 – offered writing position – declined
Wifi-Pirates – offered writing position – declined late 2007 (Site discontinued)
The Nintendo Basement – May 2008 - ?
MyGEN - June 2008 - Jan 2009
PokemonAus24 – December 2008 – offered writing position – declined
Vooks – Began December 2008, occasional freelance work for the site
Nintendo Intelligence – New Project that began in Feb 2008 and was axed Aug 2008
The Daily Gamer - Began project in 2009
I must mention that I now receive review games from some of these sites and I also get the opportunity to interview the occasional person (who is kind of important). Yeah, that’s right people actually want to answer my questions now!
Currently, I’m writing for The Nintendo Basement and MyGEN.com. You can find me on both of those sites posting the latest news, reviews, interviews and features. Oh and while I think of it you can also find me posting the occasional article on Vooks.net. I will also be entering into a new project this year.
I guess this is it, goodbye to everyone who ever viewed my site and thankyou for taking time to read an article or two from it over the years. To my beloved Nintencoverage fans out there (all two of you) I wish you well, because unfortunately you’ll have to relocate to another Nintendo fan site.
I will sorely miss Nintencoverage. Despite its crappy name, this blog site has grown on me over the past few years. It has allowed me to achieve things that I could once only dream of.
Nintencoverage has been an eventful journey, but believe me, this is only the end of the beginning. The best is yet to come.
Never underestimate the power of yourself.
