Mr_Master_X2 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 So I just got an e-mail saying my new issue of Nintendo Official Magazine won't be sent out until the 14th because there's something in it with a news emargo. New game announcement...? I wonder what it is?
david.dakota Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Hmm. Wasn't there talk of more Conduit news, specifically multiplayer talk, in the next week or so. Matt Cassamassina has also suggested talk on Dead Space Wii could be forthcoming.
Emasher Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I thought there was some major publisher that said they would be revealing a game soon?
yesteryeargames Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 will it be in the shops on thursday or friday ?
Ganepark32 Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Believe it's friday as that's when they release their magazines. Although the embargo is until the 14th so the magazine might not hit store shelves until next week due to it.
Zechs Merquise Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Wow, now that is interesting. Maybe an exclusive scoop!
S.C.G Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 If it's a Wii title then... F-Zero, Kirby, Kid Icarus, Pilotwings or Pikmin If it's a DS title then... New Super Mario Bros 2, Super Smash Bros DS? Or it could all be hype and they might just have a release date for a game everyones been waiting for, or it could be something awesome from a third party, anyway it's not as if we have long to wait now, and even less if the embargo get's broken today or tomorrow or something. :p
dazzybee Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Surely it will just be more info on a game we already know about - so my guess is Punch Out, Wii Sports 2 (isn't this supposed to be out in Spring?!?!) or Dead Space. Either of those will be very exciting!!

Either of those will be very exciting!! Totally agree. I see people of other forums saying they hope its a new Mario or Zelda, as if they would be announced in a UK only mag. It would be nice but it aint gonna happen. A free key ring, quite obviously. Or a mouse mat, poster, anything else they have lying around the office. They always say that next month will be a fantastic free gift and it never is! Still doesnt stop me from buying the mag though

Or whatever else Monster Games could be working on.
Retro_Link Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Feb 14th? probably a Valentines Day game from Ubisoft!
Jimbob Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Feb 14th? probably a Valentines Day game from Ubisoft! Based around a title involving Horses most likely. I havn't a clue about what this is, i stopped buying ONM a long time ago. I stopped liking it because it started to get that kiddy image back and they were only hypping on the party games at one point, avoiding the better ones.
david.dakota Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Or a mouse mat, poster, anything else they have lying around the office. I hear the next gift is an empty toilet roll tube. Actually, thats a complete lie, the staff probably wipe using pages from their own magazine. I've not read ONM for years, its desperately childish, their attitude is so immature (and that from a guy who made a toilet joke) and quite frankly an embarrassing read. Its about time that official license is revoked.
not_so_tiny Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 To be fair to the magazine they did start to go away from the kiddie image and put more focus on 'teh hardcore' titles. IIRC they even had a feature about the seemingly endless drivel of party games. However it's still not a well written magazine and I don't know why I still get it on subscription...hmm...
Serebii Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I bet it was for this; http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=208140
Ike Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I bet it was for this; http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=208140 Looks like it was. Source
or else you will DIE Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 it (was) obvious that the internet would beat ONM to an "exclusive" what a terrible magazine
dazzybee Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 To be fair to ONM it's not their fault, who actually gets exclusives now? No one! Also, we still don't know anything about the game, so if the mag has loas of pics, details on events and the controls then surely that's a pretty impressive scoop?!?!
yesteryeargames Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 so can you buy this in the shops yet ?
S.C.G Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 So whats the BIG exclusive then? it's 2 days after the magazine is out so it can't be anything amazing... Oh nm it was just the new Mario and Sonic game. >>
Zechs Merquise Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 So whats the BIG exclusive then? it's 2 days after the magazine is out so it can't be anything amazing... Oh nm it was just the new Mario and Sonic game. >> It's not that big a deal for us, but considering the original has sold almost 7 million copies - it's a big announcement and I'm pretty sure it'll be a monster when it hits the shelves.
S.C.G Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Oh yeah, I'm not denying it'll be a big seller and a big deal for some but the original for me wasn't quite as amazing as it could have been tbh aside from the obvious "zomg! Nintendo and Sega characters in the SAME GAME" thing but after that it's just a collection of mini-games, some work and some don't, it was flawed but fun. Hopefully they will make use of Wii motion plus for this sequel but I'm yet to see any evidence that they won't just simply rush it out to coincide with the actual Olympics.
