Cube Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 New NGC, Free DVD, Bigger Mag (well, size restored 116ish pages), and no more 3-4 pages wasted on massive artwork, plus no 10-ish pages used on worthless posters. I haven't had chance to look at the DVD yet, but it has 18.5 mins of Super Mario Galaxy, and shows off 3 bosses. It has over 2 hours of footage for Wii, DS, GameCube and GBA. Also free is a large double-sided Mario poster. So, the mag itself News: Not really anything new, just the last 2 months crammed together. - A developer that "received 10 Wii dev kits" mentioned that because of the Wii's "astonishing power", they were able to add loads of special effects to their game(s) after E3. It doesn't say who the company is, tho. - Wii launch details wiil be announced at the Leipzig expo at the end of august - Wii wiil be less than £170 in UK (probably) - VG games around £2.50 and £5.00 (unless nintendo up the price for EU) - The extra shoulder button on the Wii's Clasiic controller opens some shutters on the back of the controller. What the shutters are for, noone knows - Nintendog sales - 2million in EU, 1.5million in US, 1.25million in Japan - Lots of other articles - Wii dev kits 90% cheaper than the other 2 consoles Rumours - Assassin's Creed's exlusivivity to PS3 looking "shaky" - Donkey Kong platformer in the works - Nintendo "thinking of" Electroplankton Wii Other stuff - A to Z of Metroid Prime 3 - Top 20 Nintendo Happenings - "World of Nintendo" random stuff section - History Lesson #1: NEC's PC Engine - 2 pages on "other consoles" Previews - Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii/GC) - Super Smash Bros: Brawl (Wii) - WarioWare: Smooth Moves (Wii) - Magical Starsign (DS) - The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass (DS) - Need For Speed Carbon (Wii) - Project Hacker (DS) - Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam (Wii) - StarFox Command (DS) - Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (DS) - Tingle RPG (DS) - Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Wii) - Madden NFL 07 (Wii) - Bit Generations (GBA) - Pokemon Battle Revolution (Wii) - Super Paper Mario (GC) - Elebits (Wii) - Super Swing Pangya Golf (Wii) Mini-previews - Bleach (Wii) - Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (DS) - Justice for All (Phoenix Wright 2) (DS) - Project Exile (DS) - Cooking Mama (DS) - Trauma Center (Wii) - Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (DS) - Mario Hoops 3 on 3 (DS) - Quiz Kirameki (DS) - Common Sense Training (DS) - Trion Cube (DS) - Bomberman (DS) Reviews - New Super Mario Bros (DS) - 89% - Super Monkey Ball Adventure (GC) - 68% - Radirgy Generic (Jap, GC) - 66% - Calcio Bit (Jap, GBA) - 44% - Big Brain Academy (DS) - 80% - Pac-Man World 3 (GC) - 56% - Point Blank DS (DS) - 73% - Eyeshield 21 (Jap, DS) - 66% - Namco Museum (GC) - 15% - Electroplankton (DS) - 70% - Touch Panic (DS) - 63% Mini-reviews - Nintendogs: Dalmation & Friends (DS) - 80% - Gauma Reifu Den Izuna (Jap, DS) - 66% - Over The Hedge (GC/GBA/DS) - 58%/51%/55% - Tringo (US, GBA) - 52% - X-Men: The Official Game (DS/GBA/GC) - 38%/59%/55% - Animal Yokocho (Jap, GBA) - 60% - Break 'Em All (US, DS) - 59% So, a jam-packed issue.
ipaul Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 I just got this and have to say I was impressed with it. The DVD had alot of stuff I personally hadn't seen before, but others may have.
Charlie Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 I've copied and pasted the first post into the first post of the other so I'm locking this now.
