- N-Europe
N-Europe (or known for short simply as "N-E") facilitates
Nintendo news, reviews and information from a European Nintendo-fanbase perspective. It is the latest named incarnation of a series of websites run by roughly the same staff, previously named to reflect the current Nintendo home console of the time: N64 Europe, Cube-Europe, and then Revo-Europe in anticipation of theWii 's release.ite description
Despite being primarily a
Nintendo site forEurope , N-Europe reports on all Nintendo developments worldwide, including news on the GameCube andNintendo DS , major stories about theGame Boy Advance handhelds as well as theWii . The site is currently owned and hosted by the Advanced Media Network.History
The website began life in
1998 as a small site created by Tim Symons and Gerben Stavast which became N64 Europe. When Nintendo announced the GameCube in2001 , the pair decided to rename and relaunch as Cube-Europe. The site was one of the first to break news of Nintendo's European launch plans for the GameCube, and over the years grew in status.In
2002 , co-owner Gerben decided to leave, while Tim left the site too in September 2005 to take a position at Nintendo Europe in Germany. OnSeptember 16 ,2005 , near-simultaneous with the unveiling of the unique Wii (then still codenamed Nintendo Revolution) controller by Nintendo presidentSatoru Iwata in Japan during his Tokyo Games Show address, Cube-Europe was re-launched as Revo-Europe, complete with new forums.As of
August 27 2006 , the site rebranded a final time to become N-Europe in order to avoid further name changes to reflect each console generation. The name also conveys the website's coverage of all Nintendo news, not just relating to a specific console.As of
December 11 2007 , the site is currently overseen by Tom "Tphi" Phillips, along with a large staff who provide news, previews and reviews, articles and comics about gaming in general and a team of mods and admins who police the forums.The site is hosted by the
Advanced Media Network , along with other websites such asJeux-France .External links
