Nintendo is Great is a Substack devoted to playing and exploring every game ever released for a Nintendo console/handheld in chronological order.
Some posts are free, some are for paid subscribers only. Don’t forget to sign up below. Thanks for reading!
The Master Games List is a guide to help show you where I’m at and where I’m going. If you’re new to Nintendo is Great and you want to start reading from the beginning, or you just want to play along, this List will help.
As I progress through each console’s library, the List will be updated accordingly.
