With the recent crumbling of SPI, Nintendos previous New Zealand’s distributor, It has now been confirmed to us by Nintendo Australia that they will be taking control over promotion and support of Nintendo products in New Zealand. Whilst All Interactive Distribution will continue to be responsible for distribution in New Zealand (they have done so since the collapse of SPI), it will be positive for our friends in New Zealand that Nintendo Australia will have more of an input in regards to how things run across the pond.
First gaming experiences were with my older brother playing Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Master System and Sega Mega Drive. I was about 12 years old when the PS1 and the N64 were just about to be released, and I wanted to get a PS1 based on my experience playing some demo PS1 games at a Video Games Heaven store. On the day we came to lay buy the PS1, they had demo N64 consoles set up in the middle of the shopping centre and we naturally took some time to sample the goods. Dad, who barely played games, decided that the N64 would be a better console and I have never looked back since then. Don't get the time to play games as much as I did when I was younger, though I still enjoy nothing more than sitting back on the couch and being absorbed into a totally different world.
