The guys at Fangamer recently flew to Japan for a company trip, and many Fangamer friends went along too, including good ol’ Stephen Georg (aka xfis). During the trip they visited the office of Shigesato Itoi’s company, Hobonichi. And, just as they were leaving, they encountered the man himself! Itoi posted about the encounter on Twitter too: こういうメンバーだったんで�...Read More »

There’s something I’ve been wondering about lately. Here’s the back story of MOTHER 1: And, as we learn early on, George is Ninten’s great-grandfather. What I’m curious about is when did George and Maria have a kid in the first place?

The other day on Reddit someone posted about how they started up an arcade of their own called “O-nett Gaming”. It looks like it’s an arcade that also lets you play/buy lots and lots of old console games too, so if you’re in Ottawa, IL anytime soon, maybe drop by 🙂 Check out the arcade’s Facebook page here and see a bunch of pics here! ...Read More »
