Nadine Dornieden is a freelance writer from St. Vincent and the Grenadines, with words at iMore, Android Central, IGN, and PBS's Independent Lens. Though her primary focus is Nintendo, she enjoys looking at the video game industry as a whole, including iPhone and iPad gaming. Some of her favorite topics to discuss in the realm of video games are representation, accessibility, and the relationships between video game corporations and consumers. Her favorite franchises are Animal Crossing, Pokémon, and Monster Hunter, though she's always ready to curl up with a good visual novel or platformer on her Nintendo Switch. She's always happy to chat about video games on Twitter at @stopthenadness.
