Flaight Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 A bit of a daft post, but anyone else thought the playing cards that came with this month's Nintendo's Magazine was good?? I opened it this week and to my surprise found the cards to be pretty decent. In fact I think it's possibly the best gift ever, well one of the better ones anyway and I've had all since the 1st issue. Lately the gifts have been mundane so I wasn't expecting much. Anyway. If it's just me, then... oh well
navarre Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Um, they said Nintendo cards, but it only included Mario characters. I was disappointed. Plus, the old NOM did something exactly like it. BTW, it's ONM, not NOM.(-;
Flaight Posted August 20, 2008 Author Posted August 20, 2008 Oh hehe. Ok, ONM it is I must have missed the old set of cards. And you're right, it is mario and co only despite being 'Nintendo'. But, still I like. I like.
darksnowman Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I had a look but didn't buy. Do they serve the same purpose as the cards they gave away before? It was a kind of Top Trumps idea last time, wasn't it? By the way, its NMS not NOM nor ONM or anything else. :p

darksnowman Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Back to the good old days of Seal! The magazine hasn't been the same since they ditched Seal.
navarre Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Back to the good old days of Seal! The magazine hasn't been the same since they ditched Seal. I swear they brought him back again towards NOM's last days... I remember reading his section, where he told us what he'd do if he was granted a number of wishes. I remember one of them would be 'world peace', if only so his invading seal fleet could take over Earth. *Sigh*. If only they combined the humour of NOM with the style, presentation and reviews of ONM. Then you'd have a magazine to boast about. Unfortunately, due to Nintendo trying to broaden its image to a more casual audience, ONM has had to do the same to cater for a younger (and, invariably, older) age range, which includes dropping it's boyish, immature, admittedly hilarious sense of humour. MJ still writes occasionally, but he was never as funny as Kingsley or Dean Scott, and he isn't funny now.
ShadowV7 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Over the years I was with magazines like NOM and NGC, I got 2/3 sets of Nintendo cards so i'm not to fussed about this.
Ashley Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Playing cards or top trump like things? They did top trump cards a few (well...about eight) years ago and they were epic.
ShadowV7 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I think I have 2 sets of playing cards and 3 top trump cards. One was Nintendo only, one was the DK franchise I think and the other was Nintendo and 3rd party characters.
rokhed00 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Still got me Nintendo playing cards from the old magazine in their original cellophane. They'll be worth money one day.
Coolness Bears Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I have a pack of nintendo cards somewhere I got from the magazine they were good! I have never really used them though! and these Smash Bros Top Trumps style game was confusing and the cards were poorly made. :p I saw this Issue but everytime I go to by a magazine I have already read most of the news! *shakes his fist at the internet*
Ramar Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 *Sigh*. If only they combined the humour of NOM with the style, presentation and reviews of ONM. And what humour was that? So glad I stopped buying that tat, got so many issues just taking space in my room. I think I'll do an epic recycling session some time. Plus nothing will beat the PSO cards I got from Sega for doing a survey for the game crashing online.
Sheikah Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 The best gift was the Chain Chomp beach ball. I still have it, and the Pokemon one.

BTW, it's ONM, not NOM.(-; The old set of cards were bad quality though The best gift was the Chain Chomp beach ball. I still have it, and the Pokemon one. My Chain Chomp one was blown up until the other day when I was sorting out my room, so I let it down. I think I chucked the Pokémon one out. I also still have punchbag-type-thingy Bullet Bill blown & watered up (there was also a Ganondorf & ?Bowser? one).
