[Pattybean]

Hello my name is pattybean. Well that's not my real name but rather my online handle. Why pattybean? well I used to love eatting pattys (potato, fish, potato dipped in batter and deep fried) and so I used to get called patty. I have a nickname for my sister which is jezzycakes so she christened me pattybean.

Aaaaanyway I am a 33 yr old man child who has been gaming since I was 4 (Atari 2600) and owned every Nintendo console or hand held at some point bar the virtual boy (casual, ammirite?!) my favourite console of all time is the Nintendo 64. There was just something magical about that console at that time in my life (12 or 13 maybe). Remember watching it for the first time on bad influence and I felt like I was watching the future. Plus it looked badass and THAT controller

Haha anyway I feel this introduction is dragging on now. Thanks for reading and I am looking forward to getting involved. I also post over at grcade but wanted to join a Nintendo specific forum and I like the classic style of this forum layout, I tried Nintendolife but their forums are horrid.

Welcome to SONM, I recognise you from over on GRcade :)

We might not be as active (and it's certainly been quite for the last few months), but I'm sure you can find some Nintendo-related things to talk about. Our Retro subforum in particular has its own subset of members who will only be too happy to sing the praises of the N64!

Good to see you here!

Hey and thanks. I'm happy to be here, it feels right a purely Nintendo forum on the subject of N64 and retro:

Is there a prerequisite to make topics? I had a retro one I wanted to post however I can't find a new topic button and the FAQ doesn't really say anything about it other than you can see permissions at bottom of the forum, which I can't see.

Thanks for pointing that out, you should now be able to create topics.

We had previously set it up so that new members couldn't create new topics until they had posted (to stop spam accounts immediately creating spam threads), but in our latest update it looks like this setting had been set to 5 posts rather than 1. I've changed it and made sure you're in the regular users group :)

Hi pattybean, nice to see someone new around my age and also into retro stuff come join us, look forward to you posting new topics in the retro section and joining in the ongoing discussions

[Alx]

Howdy! I'm Alx! I'm an almost-adult with dependency issues and a caffeine addiction!
I've been on these forums before, under a different handle, and on the original ONM forums too, but hey, a fresh start is always nice.
I'll probably just lurk Off Topic mostly, but it'll be nice to see some familiar faces.
Good to see you all! o/

Hi Aix and Darkumbreon9000 welcome to the forum

[Holic]

Hi, I'm Holic. Sweet, sweet nostalgia brought me here.

I was an ONM subscriber (Nintendoholic) 9-10 years ago and was big into Pokemon, spending most of my time trying to steal glory from angel boys, teapots and such. Not been in the competitive scene for a while but would like to get back into it.

Pretty decent at Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 and Hearthstone too.

[OrangeRakoon]

Welcome to SONM! Gotta love that nostalgia hit.

Check out the pokemon subforum, there is still stuff going on around there I believe. Quite a few Splatoon 2 and MK8D players here amongst our switch owners too (I've got both!).

[thwacks]

Hi guys! I was "Nintendo Mad" on the original ONM forum years ago, I sort of stopped following gaming online for a bit but now I'm back in to it and found myself missing ONM!! I think I registered under my old username on here but I got bored of that username,

[RichardUK]

Hi and Welcome

I was expecting someone to have made a secondary account pretending to be new with the primary account responding to them in a sarcastic way, and now I'm disappointed it wasn't the case.
