<p>The name Marigold actually, believe it or not, is based on an old Nintendo and Recruit company (that&#8217;s been closed since 2003) called Marigul Management. This company was a sort of larger management company (hence the name) that had numerous devs under it as part of a Nintendo-exclusive group. These devs included; Ambrella, Noise Games (both are still around), Clever Trick, Param, and Saru Brunei. The latter three are long gone now.</p>
<p>The Marigul name was based on Mario and Seegul (the mascot of Recruit). I chose the name Marigold as I actually didn&#8217;t hear of the name (which is actually a flower) until a few years back, which took me by surprise as the similarity is surely a coincidence (I heard of Marigul first). And you COULD see it as a combination of Mario and Gold (like gold coins) if you wanted to also lol!</p>
<p>As for me, I&#8217;ve been on sites like ResetEra, Twitter, GoNintendo, Serebii, etc. And of course, Sonic Stadium where I am actually a writer for! I first joined the team back on February 5th, 2014 (the day prior to Sonic Boom&#8217;s unveiling, what a day THAT was! XD). I&#8217;ve written a few reviews on that site so far (<em>3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2</em> for the 3DS eShop and <em>Sonic Boom: Fire &amp; Ice</em> for the 3DS), and many articles (most of them being Nintendo-focused, which is my specialty of course! :D). Expect this site to be about Nintendo in general, BUT I might sneak something else once in a blue moon. 😛</p>
<p>I really hope you all enjoy my site and the stuff I write. 🙂</p>
