The NWR Blog is a project that we've had going on in the background for quite some time. (If you ask other people on staff, they'll probably tell you it's been going on for too long.) Although there are still a few more things we have to do yet to improve upon it, we decided that now was the time to flip the switch and go live with it. Finally!
Our blog is going to be a more direct path to voice our opinions and insights on all things gaming to you, our readers. Now that we have it, you can expect us to use it frequently. You already know that we deliver fair, accurate, and unbiased Nintendo news on the Nintendo World Report front page, but now you'll be able to see what the staff thinks about big news events through their blogs, should they so choose to use them for that purpose. We know you guys love hearing what we think about things. Otherwise, Radio Free Nintendo or the NWR Mailbag wouldn't be so popular!
You may also see us chime in about major news that might not necessarily be Nintendo-related. Although we know Nintendo like few other sites, that doesn't mean we swear off other game platforms. We like all games, so it follows we like talking about all games, too. Of course, we'll try to put things into the perspective of the Nintendo fan and give an angle on things that people may not have thought of before.
And of course, the blogs will be good for all sorts of other things, like reading up on what projects staffers are currently working on, getting additional nuggets of information from event coverage, and maybe even letting some guest bloggers offer a different opinion on things. We have some special blogs in the works at the moment, but I can't tell you exactly what they are until they're ready to go. I hope you'll enjoy them, though!
This whole blogging thing is kind of new to us. I really don't know what to expect when a couple dozen dedicated staff writers from all across the United States and throughout the world have the chance to say whatever it is they want to say for all of you to read. (Now that I think about it, it's actually quite frightening...) But this, I know for sure: It's going to be a whole lot of fun. I hope you enjoy reading the blog about as much as we will enjoy writing stuff for it!
