Niko Nirvi (born 16 February 1961 in Jokioinen, Finland[1][2]), pen name Nnirvi, is a long-term major icon in the Finnish gaming[3][4][1] world.
When Pelit, that concentrated solely on gaming, was founded by the same publisher, Nirvi joined its ranks as an editor, and has written a regular column for each issue.
Nirvi's trademarks include signing with "Nnirvi" or a variation, and never showing his face in the magazine.
Wallu's drawings of Nirvi depict him as a bearded man with Spock's Vulcan ears.
The review of Domark's motorboat game Hydra was written as a nursery rhyme from the beginning to the end.
In another interview he declared that many strategy games can develop the players' intellectual capabilities: they can teach English, history and strategic thinking.
