Well, now, here's an interesting thing.
You remember a while back when Nintendo Life reviewed Gun Gun Pixies and wrote an offensive, insulting article that belittled anyone who might be interested in the game? Remember how I stood up against that, and got a decent amount of support for it — as well as a few insults and a Twitter block from the writer of the article?
Today I received this DM from Damien McFerran, the director of Nintendo Life. I've cut off the last bit because it talks about specific details I'm not going to share right now… but you can get the gist:
"We're looking to change our approach with Japanese/anime games on Nintendo Life."
I've… got to applaud this, really. I mean, it's quite a long time since the whole Gun Gun Pixies incident, but for whatever reason Damien here has been reflecting and has evidently thought their past way of doing things hasn't been working for one reason or another.
I haven't been back to Nintendo Life since said Gun Gun Pixies incident, so I don't know if there have been any more situations like that — though I would have thought I'd see them blow up on social media if they had — but there must be some reason for this.
I'm not so arrogant as to assume I'm the sole reason for this… but I suspect what happened back then is at least something to do with this — and the fact that Damien has reached out to me to cover something with his new philosophy in mind says quite a bit, I think.
Well then. I just wanted to share that, because I think it's pretty cool. And, assuming all goes to plan, you'll see my name at least once on Nintendo Life in the near future! (Don't worry, though, MoeGamer's not going anywhere!)
