I ran into Nick Suttner once. I was working at a comic shop at the time. I was putting up super hero shirts or filing back issues when I heard this very distinct voice. I turned around and asked, "excuse me, are you Nick Suttner?"

He was in town for a concert and had stopped at the comic shop to look around. Nice guy.

What is with peoples hang up over Virtual Console. Classic games are on Switch, just because they aren't under the Virtual Console branding doesn't mean they aren't there.

This was a great podcast. I remember the podcasts with him in the old 1Up days 42 years ago. Always been a fan. Cool to hear he's working on games now.
