About Nintenkats

I’m Kat Bailey, a veteran games journalist and the creator of Nintenkats, a newsletter dedicated to smart, in-depth coverage of Nintendo. Here you’ll find news reporting, interviews, historical retrospectives, and commentary on everything from major releases to the company’s broader strategy.

Over the years, I’ve written for IGN, Polygon, Fanbyte, and served as Editor-in-Chief at USgamer. I’m also one of the co-hosts of Axe of the Blood God, an independent podcast covering RPGs and the games industry at large.

Nintenkats is an extension of that work — a publication built for readers who want more than just headlines. Whether it’s tracking Switch 2 developments, revisiting the GameCube’s legacy, or speaking with developers about how their games come together, the goal is to offer thoughtful, well-reported writing about one of gaming’s most enduring and influential companies.

If you’re passionate about Nintendo and want coverage that goes beyond surface-level reactions, you’re in the right place.

Thanks for reading.
