Staff
First and foremost, I am Ultimate Zelda Guru the webmaster of DS Update. We are always looking for new talent to join our staff and if you think you could help us, contact us by e-mailing one of us with our below e-mails.
Now its time to let our current staff shine.
Name--Jeremy OlsonJeremy Olson is the founder and former webmaster of this site, unfortunately he chose resign. This site wishes him the best of luck and he is welcome back here anytime. Below is his paragraph.
I started DS Update back in June of this year as a hobby and since then it has grown beyond my expectations. The Nintendo DS is such an interesting device to write and speculate about, and I have developed a sort of passion for doing it. Since the site has grown the staff has grown as well and so has the fun. We talk every day via AIM about the DS, DS Update and certain news/ rumors that come up. I have had many a long conversation with my staff and and we have gotten to know each other quite well, which makes it very easy to work with one another.

Now I am the webmaster here at DS Update and I will try to run things as well as Jeremy has in the past. (Anyways) Well I'm not even 100% on my full postion at DS Update, I report news and write articles, previews, reviews, and everything in between. I enjoy working here and the benefits are really good. I haven't had a single conflict with any of the staff and everyone around DS Update seems to be very friendly and supportive. Getting back on topic.... If you have any questions regarding the DS, or would like certain reviews or interviews done I'm your guy. I'll do everything in my power to bring you the best and most accurate DS news and perspectives around. To everyone out there, I hope to see you online with the DS soon, and if you would like to contact me my AIM is mattshellder.

Well what can I say about myself. I'm an avid gamer and a sport fanatic. I believe to truly experience the "Gaming Experience", you have to open yourself to try something new (systems, game genres, etc...). I'm an outgoing person, whether it be clubbing, shopping, hangin with the homies, amusement parks (Magic Mountain baby!!!!). My main reason for being a part of DS Update is to help out my main man Jeremy, who asked me for some support. With my help, DS Update has become a website phenomenon on the Nintendo forums...........

I'm the graphics / template person here at DS Update. It all started
innocently enough, as I, a regular guest visitor to the site, decided
to make myself known and offer my skills to creating a site logo.
After doing this, I was asked to join the staff. Since then I have
created the navigation sidebar and... umm... thought about doing even
more :)
In the past, I have written on various topics and games, so when I
have a little more time, I hope to contribute some articles here.
My interests include tennis (pretty good at), guitar (terrible at),
writing (who knows), and drawing comic strips (similar to "The
Farside"). My interest in drawing probably lead to my interest in
graphics work.

I love video games. It has been my favorite hobby for nearly 8 years and has scored me a job at GameStop and a student position at DigiPen. My favorite video game console is the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, but of course I like the Nintendo 64 and the GameCube as well.

Well, let me see here. My real name is Will Coury. Uh, I enjoy longwalks on the beach, painting my nails... I'm joking. I'm just ahardcore Nintendo fan. I own every single Nintendo system ever made(excluding the Virtual Boy and Super Nintendo). I am experienced withPhotoshop, HTML, Visual Basic, and I also manage my own videoproduction crew. I am a huge gamer, and I can be found frequenting the Nintendo NSider Forums, as well as all of the major gaming sites. Uh... That's it.

I joined the DSUpdate team because I was seeking to write articles and news, and I was looking to do something besides work all the time, although I am starting school this summer. I enjoy writing hip-hop and R&B music, Making beats, writing poetry and articles, and of course I love gaming. My favorite series would have to be The Legend of Zelda, with Link to the Past at the number one spot. Sorry, Ocarina of Time is number 4 on my list. My favorite genre of gaming would have to be platforming and beat em' ups. The Mainstream does not appeal to me, and I've been gaming since Age 2, almost 17 years now. But enough about me, I expect to bring a lot of storys and articles to the site and I hope everybody enjoys my writing. Thanks.

A long, long, time ago, someone was born in a log-cabin in the countryside, with only his Ma, Pa, and dog fer company. And that person was...not me. Many, many years later, I was born. Yeah. With a normal life. There was this company that had been around called "Nintendo" and I didn't really, er, grow up on 'em, as they say. But soon I started playing there games and likikn' em. YEEEEEEEEEE-HAW!!!
Seriously, now. I didn't really grow up with Nintendo, but later in life I started playing their games and liking them. Believe it or not, my first Nintendo system was the GBA. Now let's get to the now. I'm currently the forum moderater here at DS Update, and I like my job thus far (although I also hope to get better jobs, like maybe writing reviews). I've also been enjoying the DS a lot, and I look forward to the Revolution. Oh yeah, and I'm also a member of the Nintendo forums. You'll see me around here a lot.
Favorite game: I have no idea. I have too many favorites.
Favorite movie: It really depends. Day After Tommorow was awesome, but I also enjoy comedies. Incrediles ruled. Again, no clue.

I first stumbled upon DSUpdate.net when i was searching Google for some DS info and found DS Update. Then i started to visit the site regularly and realy got into the reporting business so i made my own blog which was unsuccessful so i decided to share my knowledge with others by talking to them directly. Now I am the new co-webmaster at DS Update and hope to do all i can to make DS Update the best it can be. But I love the Nintendo DS and my favorite game for the DS i would have to
say would be Meteos. The Revolution shoud be the best system because it has 5 systems in one and i loved all the systems! Gaming has been the best experience i have ever had and my favorite kind of games are FPS games so that means im looking forward to Metroid Prime Hunters! I hope to report all the Nintendo related news I can! Long live the Revolution! Long live Nintendo!
