NintenDan's Everyday Avatar
NintenDan is a global community leader and lead art designer at DS Ultimate. He is also, as you can likely guess from his signatures and avatar, one of the biggest Shy Guy fans ever, and the resident Graphic Designer (This includes smilies and buttons) of DS Ultimate. He is also know for making somewhat odd post, but no one dislikes him.

[edit] Nintendan's Art and Design
Although NintenDan has designed a lot of things for the site, the biggest role he had was designing nearly every forum button, original category icons and about half the smilies. These are currently used and loved by most.
He designed the banner as well, as well as the member cards a good percentage of the DS Ultimate members have in their signatures.
[edit] The DS Ultimate Awards
Main Article: DS Ultimate Awards
To boot, he also created the award video for DS Ultimate, one which commemorated the site's community and loyal members. Inside it, you can see speeches by Nintendo characters (Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Fox, Kirby, Pikachu and Samus) relating to the site on a background of classic Nintendo music, and the general graphic style of Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga. There were 8 sections, these being:
- List of Staff at DS Ultimate
- Member Awards
- Signature Awards
- Avatar Awards
- Random and Funny Posts
- Most Favourite Topics
- Fan Content
- Entire Member List (at the time, of course)
- Most Loved Features
[edit] The DS Ultimate Game
His current project is the DS Ultimate game, a Four Part series where the staff of the DS Ultimate Forums have to save DS Ultimate from an evil hacker and a bunch of spam bots. Parts One and Two are now complete, with both needing only minor adjustments. Part Three is currently under construction.
[edit] Original Membership
NintenDan originally joined the original DS Ultimate forum in October of 2006, and was more so creating comics than designing the images and smilies. He wasn't so much a moderator there as an extremely loyal member.
[edit] Current Moderatorship
Currently, NintenDan is an extremely active member of the DS Ultimate forums, and a much loved member of staff. He is also responsible for a good deal of jokes and fads related to various video games, and a current article writer for the site, writing quite lengthy (and funny) editorials about Nintendo for the main area of the site.
