About Derek Nichols

Derek's love of games came at an early age when his parents first brought home the Nintendo Entertainment System. From then on, countless nights were spent hunting ducks, stomping turtles, exploring far off planets, and combing through dungeons with a trusty sword and shield. Originally growing up exclusively with Nintendo products, Derek's perspective grew to include other platforms ranging from Sony, to Microsoft, the PC, and more. As his views and opinions grew, so did the desire to connect with other players and video game fans. In 2011, his writing adventure began at his personal blog, eventually joining up with the Game Rant crew in 2015. He currently covers everything from features and guides, to the latest breaking video game news. 

Favorite Games

Plenty of games from a variety of generations, like Super Metroid, BioShock, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and many more.
