He was also a former worker for Nintendo Power magazine, helped make the instruction manuals for the DKC games, was the main english writer/localizer for EarthBound, a Link to the Past, and Ocarina of Time, as well. He’s done lots of other stuff too, but used to be popular on Nintendo.com’s “Ask Dan” section, especially as fans loved his snark.
He supposedly appeared in a free Nintendo Power “DK64/Jet Force Gemini,” Promotional video tape back in 1999, (can be found on Youtube) though with his face blurred, but Dan admitted that wasn’t really him.
