Welcome, one and all, to the Famiboards Nintendo General Discussion thread for October 2023! I am your master of ceremonies (and Famiboards Self-Proclaimed #1 Super Mario Fan™), VolcanicDynamo, and we are here to celebrate a momentous occasion. We have reached the second anniversary of Famiboards! That’s 24 months of vibrant discussion, 24 months of enthusiastic speculation, and 24 months of building a community on our shared interest in Nintendo games and beyond. Whether you’re from the old sites or you’re a Fami Original like me, we’re happy that you could join us for the festivities!
It’s an exciting time around here. 2D Mario is making its grand return with Super Mario Bros. Wonder. We have a whole host of high profile releases on our hands this month, from Spider-Man 2 to Sonic Superstars and so much more. Anticipation continues to build towards Nintendo’s next move in the console space as the Nintendo Switch enters its 80th month on the market. With so much going on, why not kick back, enjoy conversation with some good company, and ring in the next year of Famiboards?
The Nintendo General Discussion threads are a staple of Famiboards, the bedrock of our community from even before the forum itself was started! Many of our members come to this space to converse, get to know each other, and just have a good time. This is the hot spot to discuss all things Nintendo, but we place plenty of emphasis on “General” here. Talk games, media, your day…as long as you follow the Site Guidelines, then it’s fair game. And if you like what you see of this community and wanna dig deeper on a topic, check out our other threads or make your own! We have Treehouse for video game discussion and The Roost for everything else.
And if discussion isn't your forte, well...
We have a stacked month of games this month! From high profile releases to ports/remakes of iconic titles, there’s something for everyone to ring in our anniversary.

ST?? Sometimes 2024-ish @Aurc (Metroid month)
If you would love to join the illustrious lineup of all-stars, claim yourself a monthly ST! We have a mostly blank slate from here on out - who will be the next to join us?
As we celebrate the new year of Famiboards, let’s reminisce about the past and look to the future with a thread staple - weekly questions! At the start of each week, I’ll post a new question to generate discussion. Each question will be archived here so you can check out how the discussion went!
Week 1 (October 1-7)
We all started our Famiboards adventure from somewhere. Some of us journeyed from the old sites, others joined the party over time. How did you find the forum, and why did you join?
Week 2 (October 8-14)
What was your favorite moment on Famiboards? It could be a specific thread, an event, or a particular interaction you had. For our new members, use this week to make some memories worth sharing!
Week 3 (October 15-21)
What a week we got coming up! Super Mario Bros. Wonder comes out in just a few days! But it's one game in a stacked month. Spider-Man 2 comes out the same day, we got a new 2D Sonic releasing on Tuesday, and lots more before and after them. What's your most anticipated game of the month?
Week 4 (October 22 - October 28)
We're already a few weeks into the third year of Famiboards - what are you excited to see, both with games and our community?
Week 5 (October 29-31)
Halloween is just a few days away, so let's end things off with a simple question. What is your favorite Halloween snack/treat?
