Howard comes across as a really cool guy. I would love to hear about all the different protoypes and rarities he's gotten to handle over the years.

Great article, and very informative.

Howard seems pretty humble and down to earth, and gracious. Considering all the questions and stuff. His mind is a treasure trove...

I would love to see more "in the industry" interviews... network and interview famous/important people from back in Nintendo's prime.

Unless I got a bad download or my program is acting up page 11 I think it was is blank so the (last?) page of his interview is missing for me.

It was such a pleasure to interview Howard. He was very easy to talk with and open about everything. I just wish this was released a little earlier. I did this interview months ago now.

Must be your file, or acrobat... I just reuploaded a revised version with some changes to one of the articles... try to redownload it and see if that fixes it.

I liked this interview, it's pretty informative. A while ago, I thought Howard Phillips was fictional. But for him to be one of the greatest collectors ever because he was higher-up at Nintendo? Whoa.

Fantastic interview. Thanks a ton for dropping the movie name on him. We met shortly after and I got him a copy.

This is the best interview I've read in any NA e-Zine, period.

Howard, thanks for the candid peek into the world of NOA. Ross... gold as always, bud.

Dude, 10k carts of Stadium Events possibly floating around somewhere!!  Imagine if a warehouse with hundreds or thousands of carts were ever found...  How I would LOVE to see the expressions on fuk'n collector's faces who paid thousands for their copies if that happened.  Watch as the cart they paid 3k for is now worth about $10!!!  Ooooooo, giddy chills just thinking about it!!!

Yep, I'm a dick.
