The Super Nintendo Project

If you look up top at the header, you'll see the name Phil Sandifer. Phil is the very nice and smart man who started this Nintendo Project. He then put it on the back burner in favor of writing about Doctor Who, and then a magical war between Alan Moore and Grant Morrison, but also a lot of Game of Thrones or something? Hey, I can't harsh him for putting Nintendo game blogging on the back seat. I'm guilty of the same. Anyway, thanks to his Patreon, he's started something new which I feel obligated to link on this space since it's related to the mission statement of this place; The Super Nintendo Project.

His first entry is, of course, on Super Mario World. Rather than go through alphabetically, he's taking an approach that has snapshots of the history of the console and landmark games. This is smart because then he doesn't have to talk about 45 baseball and golf games. What's also notable is that, on social media and whatnot, he repeatedly describes the Super Nintendo Project as "a magical ritual to destroy Gamergate". Which, you know, I'm really curious to see how that pans out. In fact, I'm throwing whatever arcane power this cultivated blog space has into that bit of alchemical nonsense. Mr. Sandifer, you may consider the full power of Valya, Peko The Destructor, the Dread Beast GREED, Pure Platforming, and any other magical property I brought into being during my time on this blog to be part of your ritual. Use their power wisely, and boost the energies of your own liminal space.

For the rest of you, you can read the first post of the Super Nintendo Project right here. I do have a thing planned to write that is not about Nintendo games, but we'll see whenever I get around to it. Enjoy the ritual, and please begin your social justice paganist chanting now.
