Untitled Goose Game Developer Shares About His Long-time Love For Nintendo
Cabel Sasser, co-founder of Panic Inc. and developer of Untitled Goose Game, shared a heartwarming tale on Twitter today.
As it turns out, the app-designer and videogame musician was always an avid Nintendo fan from his youth! It is certainly great to see that he chased his dreams – and is now developing one of the wackiest games that Nintendo Switch players will ever experience!
Check out his childhood tale below!
Nintendo was everything to me as a kid. Their games changed the way I looked at the world — they’re why I open every door and press every button and spot every detail. I couldn’t eat without having a Nintendo magazine to read while eating. And…… heck yes I was a Fun Club member pic.twitter.com/c2UxmRov7z

Two weeks ago, cleaning out the basement, I discovered something long forgotten: I was do devastated, apparently, that I wrote Nintendo a letter.
And, of course, Nintendo wrote back. pic.twitter.com/4cymXfhn1U

Cut to 2018. My company is publishing Untitled Goose Game, and after a lot of discussions with a lot of nice people, we decided to debut the game on the Nintendo Switch. And when they showed our trailer in the Nindies Direct, and our logo followed theirs… it hit me hard. pic.twitter.com/AZD4lJL7ze
