Yes, this arrived through my letter box this morning, with a Resident Evil Survival Handbook to go with it.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted takes the theme for the front cover this issue, while inside you can see what we're going to see from Nintendo at this year's E3, if you don't know already. Mario is next to be appearing in The Sims... And somewhere, there's link to footage of a kid who couldn't get enough of the game; so he went and did us al by completing Super Mario 64 (N64) in less than 20 MINUTES!! :o
Ah, here it is: [URL]http://www.archive.org/movies/gamevideos.php[/URL]
Watch the video, then try it on DS!" Erm, yeah, okay....?
They've also taken a deep look into the forthcoming Fire Emblen game on the 'Cube, there's more on the PocketFami, heading our way from Japan, and there's a review of the Japanese version of the brand-new Harvest Moon title, which looks very nice indeed, taking a hint from The Wind Waker's point of view. So, here are the reviews, this month:
Harvest Moon: Song of Happiness (JAP) - 85
Donkey Konga 3 (JAP) - 80
Erm...
Well, that's all we got for the GameCube this month! :S
So, let's taken a dive into NGC Pocket, where you'll find all the latest Nintendo DS titles:
Touch! Kirby (JAP) - 5
Electroplankton (JAP) - 4
Yoshi's Touch & Go - 4
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith - 2
Wario Ware: Twisted - 5
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories - 4
Yoshi's Universal Gravitation - 2
Mario Party Advance - 2 (Surely, it should be 'DS' though, right?)
Now, I know what time of year it is, but 2 reviews - two JAPANESE reviews - surely, something's gone badly wrong somewhere?
Usually, we'd expect something now. It might not be very good, it might even be an EA game, but I find this rather dissapointing that there is nothing else out this month.
Some sadistic little beggars were probably celebrating the Cube's latest birthday only last week (I forget how old it is) - just think back to what was available at this very time 3 years ago...

Yeah. It's just a tech demo fleshed out into a game, really. When it comes out here I doubt it'll last a full rental without taking it back.

Pac-Pix stole E3 last year. I think you are sexing things up just a tad.

have you played it, then?
It's fun - but not "Let me get that £20 from my wallet" fun.

No but Pac-Pix is a well structured game. It's actually reall fun. It has been given great reviews and stole the show at E3. One of my most anticipated games.

Does seem a bit of a dry patch ... not much GC action, and I'm not getting another DS game until they release some proper games.
But I still have loads of others to work back through.
And E3 hype will eat up the hours like nothing else.

I'm not worried about sales in that I think Nintendo will go bust. We both know they're a very rich company etc. etc.
Would be nice to see them do as well as they deserve though.

Yeah, PacPix is a good example. Just doodle the shape of Pacman and it automatically renders itself to eat nearby objects. It's interesting, but only games that can incorporate these "gimmicks" into a well structured game is worthy of purchasing.
