About Nathan Hilditch

Nathan is a lifelong gamer, harkening back to a misspent youth blasting Kirby Superstar and Super Mario All-Stars on his bedroom floor. Some of us are that old. This began a long-term love affair with Nintendo and, in particular, Kirby because, as one popular meme put it, he is small, he brawl, but most importantly, he loves us all. 

Platformers and Metroidvanias are his niche but he does occasionally venture out into more combat-oriented games, particularly if said combat is turn-based. Aside from gaming, Nathan is also passionate about writing so this really just lined up perfectly. 

Favorite Console

Easily the Nintendo Switch, I'm a Nintendo guy through and through and it's literally all there in one place, barring a few Gamecube and DS titles. 

Favorite Games

- Kirby Superstar
- Shantae and The Pirates Curse
- Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time
- Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
- Blue Fire
- Death's Door
- The Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
- Fire Emblem: Three Houses
 

Favorite Anime

I don't know that I'd consider myself versed in anime. There are a lot of heavy hitters I haven't seen, but at both ends of the spectrum, Attack on Titan and One Punch Man are definitely amongst my favourite shows.
