Brian Shea

Executive Editor

Brian’s infatuation with gaming started in the NES days, but he truly fell in love while holding an SNES controller. From that point forward, he was playing video games whenever he could, first branching over to the Genesis, and then to every subsequent console that achieved any amount of success. Brian is also the host of All Things Nintendo, a weekly podcast focused on the news and games of Nintendo. Prior to joining the Game Informer team, he contributed to outlets like IGN, GameSpot, Kotaku, Official Xbox Magazine, GamesRadar, Joystiq, and others on a freelance basis.
