“Nintendo Power has always meant a lot to me, just like i’m sure it’s meant a lot to many of you and it certainly means a lot to many of us here at Nintendo of America, which is really why this podcast exists. It’s a passion project for many of us here, because we really wanted to see the Nintendo Power brand come back in a fun way and we would also really love the chance to share our personal views, which is we just talk Nintendo here all day anyway, so it’s another opportunity to do that.”
