Posted October 14, 2005 Anyone got their issue yet? I know its due out but I want to know if its out before I drive up to get it....What im a lazy lazy man. EDIT: Just found this on the NOE boards. It's not a gift as such but a booklet of Mario's top 20 games. It really is interesting! Sadly there was no Mario Kart review because of the delay, they instead did a great feature on Mario Smash Football! So there it is no Mario Kart DS Review.

Posted October 14, 2005 I was in Tesco earlier and picked up a copy. It comes with a free 20 page brochure celebrating Mario's 20th birthday with a list of 'his greatest games ever' and here's what's inside: PREVIEWS Mario Smash Football Alien Hominid Gun Harry Potter & Goblet of Fire Lost in Blue Mario Superstar Baseball Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! Peter Jackson's King Kong Rebelstar: Tactical Command Sigma Star Saga Sonic Rush SSX on Tour True Crime: New York City REVIEWS Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Actio Bubble Bobble Revolution Dancing Stage: Mario Mix Juku and the Monophonic Menace Lego Star Wars Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects Megaman Zero 4 Nightmare Before Christmas: Pumpkin King Scooby-Doo!

Posted October 14, 2005 Man that sucks, any coverage on the controller at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 14, 2005 Man that sucks, any coverage on the controller at all? Yeah, there are a couple of pages about how it works in the 'World of Nintendo' but no major feature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 14, 2005 Hmmm, i'l think i'l give this issue a miss then, seems nothing interesting in this issue at all then. Bummer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 14, 2005 There's a picture of the controller with labels saying things like "good old D-pad" and "giant A button" and a few sentences about each part - pretty basic stuff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 14, 2005 Locky you listed Alien Hominid in the previews section, does that mean its coming out here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 14, 2005 Locky you listed Alien Hominid in the previews section, does that mean its coming out here? If you're thinking of the 'Cube version, then sadly no. If you mean the GBA version, then yes, its coming out in December. Expect a review next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 14, 2005 The gift this issue is pretty dodgy, they could have done that in the space they waste with the Pokedex. Next issue should be good, though. Decent gifts, Mario Kart review and a 12-page preview of Tingle RPG (joke). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 14, 2005 The Mazza Footy Preview was okay. Nothing else was really in there!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 14, 2005 Gift: Should of been a lightweight, small 40/50 page book with a double page on each game, with a few extra pages with a timeline/history. Cover: Totally messed up. Revolution should of taken it up, with a sleek stylish cover. With just the revolution. None of the clutter. Main feature: Come on, Mario Football surely could have been a second main feature/review, the Revolution information was terrible. They didn't even go in depth in their playtest! SURELY that's a "WOW DOUBLE PAGE" thing. Pokedex: Waaaaaaste. I do like the idea of a monthly middle feature like this/comic book info, but just find something decent. Next Month's Gift: A 1 cart DS game holder. Abloodymazing. Oh, and a hint book. How about a Mario 20 CD made in a style to fit in with the booklet. Or maybe a Mario Kart wriststrap! Stylus (yeahlikethey'ddothat)! Maybe even some fusking decals! Ok, the 1 cart holder thing is decent, but it's like, ONE cart. Bleh. DS Motherload: This month we had the GREATEST DS LINE UP ANNOUNCED AT THE WIFI CONFERENCE and probably, about 3 of them will be featured in half page world of nintendo segments - NEXT month. Blehgnstuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 16, 2005 at least you get magizines, over here in Australia all we get is CUBE and that really has gotten boring, there used to be a Australian version of CUBE but they stoped making them, Nintendo gamer used to be good shame nobody wants to make more of those magizines.
