Hello, everyone. As you may have heard, we are heavily considering expanding MFGG to encompass Nintendo franchises as a whole! This is an idea that has been bounced around for many years now, and the staff thinks it's about time it's made reality. It's no secret that MFGG activity has been on the decline for years now, so a broadening of our demographic could be a tremendous help in reviving and expanding the community. We want this transition to involve not just staff, but the entire community. Any opinions and ideas you have will be taken seriously, so feel free to share them here.
Right now, there are a couple of big issues we are trying to figure out, and we'd love your ideas on them:

Right now, there are a couple of big issues we are trying to figure out, and we'd love your ideas on them:
- A new name. Of course if we expand our franchises, we would have to come up with a new name. The obvious choice would be Nintendo Fan Games Galaxy, but seeing as having "Nintendo" in our name could cause issues with the company themselves, it may be best to come up with something different. Right now our best idea, which comes from Vitiman, is "Fangame Disk System." I quite like this name. Share your opinions on it and feel free to suggest name ideas of your own.
- Which franchises to focus on. The current idea is to only focus on Nintendo franchises, but it is possible that we include non-Nintendo IPs as well. It might not be a good idea to include IPs that are radically different from Mario, but similar franchises like Megaman are a possibility. I think Mario, Zelda, Kirby and Metroid could be a good range while still keeping to one company's IPs, but if you have other ideas please do share.
