    Nintendo 64 Kid: The Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

    GameSetWatch/Game Developer Magazine/Insert Credit's Brandon Sheffield was minding his own business around the office when he got a phone call out of the blue. The lady on the other end asked Brandon if he knew the Nintendo 64 kid. He said he did. Turns out the lady was his aunt. Here's the bizarro conversation that followed:


    N64 kid's aunt: So his video has gotten something like 2.5 million views since it went up, and his myspace gets over 70,000 hits daily, and there are tons of parodies over on YMTD...

    very confused brandon: I believe it!

    N64ka: So this is kind of a shot in the dark, but do you know if anyone would be interested in making a game about it?

    vcb: Like...a videogame? I don't see how...

    Bat shit insanity continues after the jump.

    N64ka: Well if you look at those YMTD things, a lot of them use game art, and seem very game-like.

    vcb: I mean, to be perfectly honest, it's just an internet fad.

    N64ka: Oh, I know.

    vcb: And games need to be a little more...sophisticated than that.

    N64ka: Sophisticated...right.

    vcb: You might be able to get someone to make a flash game about it or something, but someone would probably only want to do that for fun.

    N64ka: Do you know anyone who would want to?

    vcb: I can't say I do, personally. You could try Newgrounds, they do a lot of flash work over there.

    N64ka: Oh, newgrounds...that's like the name of my favorite radio program in los angeles. New Grounds on KCRW.

    vcb:...well alright!

    Knowing Brandon, I don't doubt this happened. Just look how he's cashing in on his internet fame. But, getting his aunt to do the dirty work?!
