My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is October 16th, 2026 and today I'm discussing six things that indie writers can learn from Nintendo, both good and bad, which is kind of a follow-up to last week's episode, which was six things indie writers can learn from the Disney Corporation, both good and bad. Before we get into that, we will start off with Coupon of the Week and then a progress update on my writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. So first up is Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code (in anticipation of the upcoming release of Elven-Warlock) will get you 50% off the audiobooks in the Half-Elven Thief series (as excellently narrated by Leanne Woodward) at my Payhip store. That code is ELVENFALL. This coupon code will be valid through November the 9th, 2026, so if you need a new audiobook for this fall, we have got you covered with the Half-Elven Thief series. Now for an update on my current writing, publishing and audiobook projects. I am very nearly done with the first round of editing on Elven-Warlock. The cover is ready as well. If you're on my website or my social media, you should be able to see it. As soon as I finish recording this podcast, I'm hopefully going to be able to finish up the first round of editing and then start on the second. I believe this episode is going live on the 19th of October and hopefully Elven-Warlock should be out on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited a day or two after that, if all goes well. In any event, I definitely want to have it out the week of the 19th of October. Once Elven-Warlock is out, my secondary project right now is Blade of Rifts, which will get promoted to my main project and I'm currently 13,000 words into that. In audiobook news, as we mentioned last week, Cloak of Summoning and Ghost Armor Omnibus Two (both of which are narrated by Hollis McCarthy), are now available at their respective audiobook stores. For new projects, Brad Wills is now recording Blade of Visions and if all goes well, that should be out sometime next month. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. 00:02:12 Main Topic: 6 Lessons Indie Writers Can Learn From Nintendo Now let's move on to our main topic this week, six lessons indie writers can learn from Nintendo. Last week, you might recall, we did the same thing with Disney Corporation looking at lessons indie authors can learn from Disney Corporation, both good and bad. We're going to do the same thing with Nintendo, which is one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world. I thought today about six ways writers can learn from Nintendo's best and worst corporate decisions. Admittedly, while there are things to criticize about Nintendo the way there are about Disney, I do on a personal level like Nintendo more than Disney, and I do have a fairly long history with Nintendo stuff. In the '80s and the '90s, I had an NES and a Super Nintendo, and so played quite a few Super Nintendo games. I actually beat Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past back in the day. I'm not entirely sure what happened to that Super Nintendo console. My brother told me a while back that he sold it, but I don't think that's what actually happened, but it was 30 years ago and I don't remember what happened, so it really doesn't matter. So from about 1998 to 2019, I did not play a console game at all. Whenever I played games, it was PC games or nothing. However, in 2019, to reward myself for publishing my 100th book, which was Dragontiarna: Knights, I got a first generation Nintendo Switch and really enjoyed it. As you know, buying a Nintendo Switch in 2019 was probably a good idea because next year was COVID. So I finally beat a bunch of games on the Switch that I never had the chance to beat the first time around. I finished Skyrim. I beat Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, which was a pretty good Metroidvania. I beat Metroid Dread. Then with the Nintendo Online stuff, I went back and played a lot of the old NES games and Super Nintendo games I never had the chance to beat back in the '80s and '90s. I beat the original Marios. I beat Super Mario World, all four of the original Castlevanias from Nintendo and Super Nintendo. I thoroughly enjoyed the Switch. In 2025 when the Switch 2 came along, I got one when the opportunity presented itself and have been playing it pretty regularly when I have time (which is less and less these days) ever since. So while I didn't play any console games of any ...
