Take a look at our NintendoClassics Discord server—if you're looking for multiplayer, a place to share your creativity, or conversation on all things Nintendo!
Hi, there! ⭐️
I sincerely hope you've enjoyed perusing and participating in this subreddit! For those of you who're new here—you may not realize that it's still relatively new, at just three and-a-half months old! I don't know why nobody had thought to make a subreddit based around these collections, in the seven years that they've been available... but, we've finally got one, now. These Nintendo Classics collections are clearly being positioned as Nintendo's main method of preserving their legacy, for future generations to discover—and for those of us who grew up on them, to rediscover. I think it's important for those of us who adore these games, to be good stewards, and create a welcoming space where everyone can understand the magic that they brought into our lives. No matter how technology progresses, in all sorts of fanciful directions—they still remain artistic achievements that display the beauty people can create—even with limited manpower, and under severe constraints.
As an extension of this community, I created a Discord server months back, to make it easier to converse with fellow enthusiasts, and link up for some multiplayer action! I just wanted to highlight it, once more—now that it's more fully developed!
Tap (or click) here to join the NintendoClassics Discord server!
Here's a list of some of the features and channels we've got:
- 18 different username colors (seen in the second image) to adorn your name with—each one of them based on not just classic Nintendo hardware, but also some beloved variants!
- A trim and tidy layout, with spaces for 💬—•general-chat•, Nintendo Classics-centered discussion over in ⭐—•nintendo-classics•, and an area for all other classic games in 👾—•retro-talk•!
- One of the big ones: post to 🎮—•connecting-controllers• when you're looking for anyone to buddy up with and tackle all the multiplayer games at hand, like The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, Mario Kart 64, Donkey Kong Country 2, the trio of Mario Parties, Kirby Super Star, GoldenEye 007, River City Ransom, Streets of Rage 2, Tetris... Most of the apps even support someone coming in just to watch—or to pass the controller to, while taking turns!
- I'm of the mind that part of the love we have for these games should include getting to know how they were made, and the humans that made them. To that end, the server has a 🔖—•gaming-history• channel, that anybody can post their facts and knowledge to! Every valid message will be pinned, so that anybody can look back at the assortment of facts we've shared with each other.
- Many of our members are budding artists, in their own right! It can be tough to find motivation, these days... so we should support one another, wherever we can! That's why we also have a 🌱—•creativity• channel, where anyone can share their creative work, in any field—whether you're a complete beginner, or someone who knows the ropes.
- 32 custom emoji (seen in the second image) and 5 stickers, from throughout Nintendo history! More to come, as well.
- We now have an onboarding process that allows you to customize your experience and see only the channels that pertain to your interests! Thus—you won't need to be notified, if you have no interest in any of these multiplayer or history shenanigans, or in the creativity of other members (you devil, you!).
All of this is still pretty new, but I've done my best to make it as neat, presentable, and fully featured as I can! I've actually done all of the work on both the subreddit and the server, on my own. We have a lovely little group of regulars already, and are currently sitting at 70 members—a far cry from the subreddit's 3,300. But, if this strikes your fancy in any way, I hope you'll come take a peek and chat! Thank you for reading, and thank you for being a member of this subreddit! I appreciate all the new posters I'm seeing! 💛
