mario114 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Fire emblem should have got 90-95% it's better than any advance wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarka Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I'm gonna be getting a new subsription to something. Dunno what though. What do you guys recommend? I hear Edge is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtle Squad Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 There's that Game Master or something The Super Flash Bros. read it anyway!! Erm...anyway I don't think that much of that Fire Emblem. Anyhow, it's a matter of opinion which you prefer. I prefer Advance Wars to Fire Emblem.

JonathanEx Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Actually, would anyone be interested in sometime having a Second Edition Nincyclopedia? The general look being the same, so it would fit in when in a collection. None of the old facts, just a second book of new ones. I think it'd be pretty cool.

Anyhow, it's a matter of opinion which you prefer. I prefer Advance Wars to Fire Emblem. Games Master is awfully biased. NOM started to become less biased when the NOM leader made that post on Cube-Europe about improving magazine, and did alot of other things asked for (More 'clean' front pages etc).

Kurtle Squad Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 The Flash Bros. said it was pretty fair (I haven't read it, so I wouldn't really know) What do you mean by 'clean'?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gothchild Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I was surprised with this month's NOM actually. 90% for Nintendogs and Advance Wars 88% for Fire Emblem. I was expecting them to be more generous ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 yup..only 85% for emerald as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antster1983 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Sounds like they're clamping down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamus_aran Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 NGC don't rule. Not since it was N64. I haven't buoght a Nintendo orientated magazine in ages. Its more Edge and World Soccer now. They OWN the NOM's and MATCH!'s of their respective genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Got it today, its almost as bad as the bog roll I use to wipe my ass with. Its terrible, the bit that pissed me off the most was the stupid immature "20 things you didn't know about Pokémon". I was expecting some nice little facts etc. But no the f**k tarts give us (e.g) "2. If you drop a piano on Pikachu, he won't just faint; he'll die." Did Tim Street even listen to us on C-E. I think not, I'm seriously considering not buying this magazine, its just become crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtle Squad Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 But the "10 things you didn't know about Pokémon" had THE best joke in it though!! Weeninbell, heheh!! And I thought the Emerald review was an interesting read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting them to be more generous ... You don't call that generous? Anything over 80% is a very good score, IMO. Considering 50% is "average", afterall.

Kurtle Squad Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Hahaha, not really... 50% games are naff, i never buy anything below 60% if i can help it. Usually not under 70% either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Android18a Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Maybe not, but to argue over 2-10% is a bit petty I think. I was happy with CVG's 5/5 system to be honest. I don't see the need to be picky over a few points here or there. Either a game is great, good, average, poor or crap. That's all I need to know.

Aimless Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 You don't call that generous? Anything over 80% is a very good score, IMO. Considering 50% is "average", afterall. If NOM were a respectable magazine, you would be 100% correct. I take it you see the problem here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goron49 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 NOM also hate RARE (Rareware) with a passion, they rated DKC 1 & 2 for the GBA way too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Android18a Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Not really. DKC1 had already been ported to GBC, and the GBA versions don't look half as nice as the SNES originals. Golden Sun proves the GBA is a competent piece of kit, but the DKC ports come over as pretty lazy, not to mention a bit dated now. Perhaps it's just that Rare's latest output hasn't been so hot? Mr Pants anyone? I'm sure if they ported Killer Instinct Gold to DS, or Jet Force Gemini, or even Blast Corps, they'd sing praises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
