The 2010 year is well underway, and our esteemed Nintendo alumni continue to make a considerable impression in both the world of gaming and non-gaming world at large. News for the first quarter of 2010 can be found below. Thank you for your continued interest in old friends.

Alumni Events
Thanks to all alumni who attended this year’s 25th anniversary reunion on Adventure Island. We had a record turnout this year, with alumni traveling from as far as Clu Clu Land to attend. Highlights of the event include:
- Food provided courtesy of Peter Pepper’s BurgerTime restaurant
- Awards ceremony – winners include Mr. and Ms. Pacman for “Longest Marriage,” Ice Climber for “Coolest Career,” and King Koopa for “Most Kids”
- Alumni games (of both the California and Caveman variety)
- DJ Dr. Light spinning all your favorite 8-bit hits
A special note: Bomberman asked the alumni committee to pass along an apology for not attending the reunion. Though he had planned to attend, he had difficulty getting through security at Planet Bomber Airport and missed his flight.
