About Aku

Aku is a Features and Guides Writer from South Carolina. He has previously worked extensively at The Games Cabin. He specializes in Nintendo-related topics and is highly skilled at a variety of games. He also loves eating candy.

Favorite Games and Genres

My favorite games vary greatly in terms of genre. I enjoy the fast pace and competitiveness of fighting games like Smash Ultimate and shooters like Splatoon 3, but can also relax with some lighthearted adventure in games like Sky and Animal Crossing.

Fighters, platformers, action, adventure, strategy, simulation, J/RPGs, shooters - I'll play practically anything.

Though I tend to steer clear of scary/horror games. But if they're fun and I won't be alone, they're worth a try.

First Game Console and Preferred Platforms

My first game console was a GBA way back when I was four or five years old. With it came Fear Factor: Unleashed (remember that show? I didn't).

I've played almost every console under the sun since then, but my preference has always leaned toward Nintendo platforms for their family-friendly vibes and constant innovation of gaming.
