The 1Up Show/CO-OP served as an inspiration for me to start Playthroughs.com (along with N. Suttner's 1upFM Backlog segment), and TRS, Diggnation, and CO-OP fans are the sort of people who have the sort of interesting, intelligent discussion that I want to bring to the site.

The site is basically a community that nominates, plays, and discusses retro games that have slip through the cracks for one reason or another (never a good one, though). We have been covering Mother 3 this past month, and now we are taking nominations for next month (which will be added into a poll). I also welcome users to write articles for weekly features; basically providing a platform for gamers wanting to display a more thought-provoking take on a game/genre, a la CO-OP, who don't have the means to display their thoughts otherwise (c'mon, no one reads 1UP user blogs!).

Everyone is welcome to join the discussion and nominate a title for next month's game. You can cast your nomination at this link (http://playthroughs.com/playthroughs/2009/4/19/mother-3-week-3-nominations-week.html).

Thanks for showing support, one way or another.
