Those games that we all love to play are all made be some very talented people. Every now and then, we get to talk to these amazing people and learn more about their games. We have spoken with the likes of Image & Form, Yacht Club Games, Koei Tecmo, Konami and even the Voice of Mario himself! We greatly appreciate them taking time out of their extremely busy schedules to talk with us. They don’t just stop at talking with us! Most of these fine folks even graciously give us games to giveaway to our followers! How incredible is that?
Miketendo64 is honoured to be made up of an international team with a multi-national audience. From different backgrounds and all walks of life, we are a dedicated Media site made up of gamers, for gamers. Though we may not all share the same tastes in games but we do share the same passion for all things Nintendo. Well, at least a mutual respect for all things Nintendo. For some reason, we can’t all seem to agree on which Nintendo Franchise is the best? So until Super Smash Bros for Nintendo Switch comes out, we will just have to agree to disagree. All those listed here are the kind souls that will be helping with Miketendo64 from time to time along with resident Members Mike Scorpio & Jack Longman.
Mike Scorpio: Chief Administrator
“Hello All, Mike Scorpio here, I started this website out of my obsession and love for videogames and after spending so much time scouring the internet to find news about my favourite games consoles and new games on the horizon, I decided to put this website together so that others would be able to save time with their searches. I have always been a Nintendo fan ever since I was little, my first console was the NES which I loved and have found memories of. The passion extended to the Nintendo 64 (best console ever) the Wii and the Wii U. I love my Wii U to bits and can not fathom why the rest of the world doesn’t like it (maybe because it doesn’t have FIFA, I don’t know). Anyhow, with the support and following of this website growing, I realised that I couldn’t manage it on my own so I have roped my own brother in to help (Jack) and have enlisted the help of the other fine souls you will find on this page.”
Jack Longman: Editor-In-Chief
“Hey everyone, I’m Jack, Mike Scorpio’s partner in crime! As a gamer who found his virtual wings in the 90’s I had the pleasure to enjoy games during a period of time when Nintendo and Rare Games were working together, producing the likes of Banjo Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day and of course Goldeneye. It was also the decade where he saw Link come to life in his first full 3D debut and be accompanied by the fairy we can never get out of our heads, Navi. I was hooked from the get-go and all these years later, now older and a working journalist, instead of just playing the games I love and their latest installments, I’m writing about them too.
As far as videogames go, my favourite series is the Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy is a close second. I’m also highly obsessed with Pokémon. I have tried and tried to go out of it, but just as soon as I get it out of my system, Nintendo and the Pokémon Company find a way to draw me back in. But I’m not all about videogames, I do have other interests such as scuba diving, working on my novels, being an admin at a small, yet exclusive Zelda group on Facebook and just generally messing about.
Well that’s me, if you want to hear more about me, well you’re just going to have to take me out for dinner then, and yes burger and fries do count as dinner.
Laters!”
Kuribo: NintendoFigures.net
“For Kuribo, a love for video games and Nintendo started early. After playing NES and Super Nintendo at a friend’s house, he has been playing video games ever since. While he likes Nintendo best, Kuribo collects video games and has systems ranging from the original Game Boy and Nintendo 64 all the way up to the modern systems like Wii U and 3DS. is not about the video games so much as the toys and figures that Nintendo and other companies make for Nintendo fans. It started with an Amiibo addiction, but eventually spread to other figure lines including World of Nintendo and Nendoroids. It is a great time to be a Nintendo fan and if you ever have had an interest in owning a version of Mario, Kirby, Zelda, or Star Fox, and covers them all. As the owner of , Kuribo not only reviews new figures and covers all of the latest releases, but also tries to educate new collectors on the hobby and keep the passion for Nintendo and its loveable characters burning in fans across the world.”
Mr. Panda: Mr Panda’s Reviews
“Mr. Panda is a lifelong fan of Nintendo. Having started playing video games at a very young age, he has since collected every major Nintendo console and handheld. His favorite series include Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Smash Bros, Final Fantasy, and Ace Attorney. He even had a video game themed wedding, which featured centerpieces based on Smash Bros. trophies before amiibo were even announced.
His other major passion is anime, especially titles with action, suspense, and humor. His background is in teaching, and he aims to use his skills of informing and writing to deliver Nintendo articles to you. You can find his work on Mr. Panda’s Video Game Reviews. You can also follow him on Twitter @MrPanda2002.”
“Hi I’m Dan! I’ve been playing games since I could wrap my little fingers around my GBA SP. I love all things Nintendo and have been a Pokémon and Mario fan for upwards of 10 years now. I look forward to writing news and feature articles here for you all to read, and to meet new people here!”

“Hi everyone! I’ve been a gamer for over 20 years now. Mostly I enjoy a variety of handheld consoles but I’ve had many Nintendo consoles over the years. My favourite being the N64 with games such as Goldeneye, Ocarina Of Time, Mario Kart 64, Jet Force Gemini and many others. My favourite genres at the moment are JRPG’s, Simulation and Adventure.

Gaming Controllers
From Nintendo to Xbox, Atari to Playstation, Gaming Controllers takes a look at all the different controllers that we have seen and most likely played with over the years.

The first PSX controller that spawned several different models with the same design on the generations that followed.

Wizard Dojo

It is also the mantra of Wizard Dojo The Blog site that covers reviews on both Videogames and Television (including cinema). He covers quite a lot of genres spanning different games consoles which would be quite beneficial to those that own games consoles other than Nintendo.

I just found this site while browsing for Splatoon stuff on google. I really like it, it’s personal and nice but run well and has a lot of personality to it! Like a passion project of sorts? Not really sure, but either way I love it here and I’d love to show my friends this site

Hey nice site. Hey don’t you think that maybe everybody has it wrong. For the whole CPU/GPU or APU. True it could very well change. But often history has taught us something. All 3 last Nintendo consoles has been using a custom IBM CPU with some kinds cutsome ATI/AMD GPU. It’s something to think about. And there are rumors out there of some Nintendo NX using IBM CPU in console. Maybe not the handle table device. But do you think Nintendo would just abanded IBM CPUs?
Maybe the console will have IBM CPU again. But who knows. Maybe they have switch to all AMD soc or Nvidia. I hope it’s Tegra ?? Something, but who knows. Food for thought.
Game cube/Wii/wii u have all used IBM CPU with AMD GPU.
Hi, great site!
My friend and I also run a gaming site to share our passion for gaming. We would love to share your posts on our FB page and Comnunity page. Collaboration by gamers for gamers.
That sounds great! Feel free to share anything you like. If you are up for collabs as well, we can arrange something too. Also you can leave a link to your page so we can check it out and give a like back!
I still think Nintendo is the king. They need to get back in the game and show up Sony and Microsoft with their innovation!
Nintendo is king indeed. It is a shame that gamers turn their backs on Nintendo to join the flocks of sheep that follow Playstation and Xbox. Nintendo didn’t fail us, we failed Nintendo.
I can agree with that. They built the industry as far as I’m concerned. Nintendo is gaming. It’s too bad so many view them as kiddie and irrelevant. The world is truly a fickle place. The Wii went from a household name to anathema in a very short time. Actually I interviewed one of our contributors to ask how he thought Nintendo could get back on top: innovation and great franchises.
Two of the things Nintendo does best! 😉
