Chakan! Wow, it’s been a while indeed. Yes, I was forced to move to WordPress in late 2015/early 2016, and the past 3 years I’ve been creating new content here while transferring and updating my original material over one review and one article at a time. It’s been a blast and although I am nostalgic for the original site, I much prefer writing on WordPress thanks to the modern conveniences it affords over the original site. Unfortunately, I think quite a few of my old readers think I’ve stopped updating — my original site cannot be updated anymore so I wasn’t able to leave a message of any kind redirecting folks to the new site. Thank you for subbing! Thank you also for linking me to the SegaFans forums. Brings back memories! I’ll stop by and check in later this week. Good to hear from an old face! Cheers.

Steve, it’s so good to run across the new version of the site. I had it bookmarked as http://www.rvgfanatic.com/301.html for years and thought you’d nearly stopped updating.

Good to see you’re still around! I subbed via my RSS reader.

I recently stepped the ole SegaFans forums back up if you want to stop by and say hi. You were mentioned over here in this thread multiple times.

Thank you Dale! I just saw your RVGFanatic shout out on your site… wow placing me #9 on your personal list of favorite gaming related moments of the year — I am humbled. I’ll edit this article later to add in your compliments (for the “feedback” portion). I’m glad my work resonates with you.

Ah yes, the Clay Fighter review. Looks like you were one of the thousands of kids that got roped in to the hype during that wild Christmas season of 1993. I remember that time so fondly. You’re absolutely right — I do aim to write in a manner that takes the reader back to those glorious 16-bit days. I had a blast writing that Clay Fighter review even if the game itself isn’t particularly good. It was certainly a sign of the times where game companies attempted to sell flash over substance.

Yeah, it’s crazy that it’s been 12 years now since RVGFanatic first began. 2007 feels like eons ago. Creating content on RVGFanatic has been a side passion of mine for the past 12 years and luckily the fire still burns. With well over 100 SNES games in my library still waiting to be played, and with so many review (and article) options remaining, RVGFanatic has enough future material to easily last another 12 years (if all goes well). As always, thanks for your support!

Congrats on 12 years Steve! That is incredible how long you have stuck with this project! Looking forward to more reviews and articles! I did a little shoutout to discovering your site recently making the list in my annual top gaming moments of the year entry on my blog. Keep up the great work!

I know I have tossed around a few title names here and there. There are certainly plenty of mainstream titles to take a look at. This list can only grow with time.

Thanks Kuro-chan, I definitely will continue to add more and more. Not counting the “obscure Super Famicom” impressions, I’ve written exactly 150 SNES reviews in the last 12 years… many of which contains 150+ pictures per review (lol). I always tell myself I’m going to reduce the number of images to a more reasonable amount (i.e. Batman Returns and Bonkers are prime examples) but as soon as I start grabbing screenshots, I end up taking way too many and my OCD kicks in, lol. I guess I’m just a screenshot whore

Looking forward to additional SNES game reviews in the future!
