Start by telling me a bit here. What’s your experience with the NES, where have you written before, etc.

Not at this time. Right now we are specialising in retro Nintendo books and are specifically looking for NES content. :)

Freelancer? Penchant for retro? Specifically the NES?

We’ve got loads of retrospective work that’s going to be available over the next month or so, especially on some games you might not have expected.

Get in touch if this is your sort of thing!

Email your pitch brief (not the whole feature!) with an overview of what you'd write, and ideally examples of your previous work.

Also, please don't sent me AI generated pieces.

I'm after love-letters to the game, why it was so iconic and amazing. What made it so special.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Friends!

I need a bit of help with Celestial Guardians. Missing 4 from the main set which despite loads of packs, continue to elude me.

Dhelmise EX, Talonflame, Alolan Raichu and Alolan Golem needed. Any help?

Yes mate. Went Friday. Still packing other KS orders and I’ve torn my tendon in my shoulder, which is affecting my efficiency…

Same. Don’t get me started on my hips. I reckon that the 15 years I spent in McDonald’s has aged my knees and hips significantly due to the sheer cumulative movements made lol
