Tomorrow, I’ll be getting on an airplane to move cities. This post will detail what that means in the short term for the site and YouTube channel.
The YouTube Channel
Video uploads will be on pause for at least a month. I won’t have access to my usual video editing setup for a while.
Fortunately, I already wrote and recorded nearly 2 hours of audio for future videos about The Legend of Zelda and other topics. I estimate these videos will take weeks to produce, as they require lots of video editing.
Donkey Kong Country-related videos will also be coming later this year, and of course Switch 2 console and game videos (even though it doesn’t seem like my subscribers are that excited about the Switch 2…yet).
Going forward, I’d like to produce more well-edited videos (even though they often get fewer views than quick and easy videos). I want to be a fan of my work, so expect more videos like Which Donkey Kong Country Game is the BEST? —that’s the sort of video I like, so it’s my benchmark moving forward.
The Website
While the website NintendoUp.com will continue to receive news posts (that’ll occasionally be promoted on the YouTube channel’s community tab), they may slow down temporarily.
The NintendoUp channel and website are managed by one person—unlike other entities that have paid ghostwriters, video editors, thumbnail artists, and even unpaid interns and volunteers. That’s why when I move, everything is affected.
The timing is unfortunate (moving now was not my decision—that’s life), and I’m sure the YouTube and Google algorithms will further punish me. But, it is what it is.
Thank you for reading and your interest,
NintendoUp
The Forum
By the way, we have a new forum at https//nintendoup.com/forum
I prefer old-school forums over Reddit (shudders) and Discord. So, if you want to discuss Nintendo or talk to me, then sign up for a free account there.
There are not even any advertisements on the forum (or website) yet, so it doesn’t benefit me other than to build a community that can exist even if YouTube decides to delete everyone’s account for whatever reason they make up.
