"New NGC"

Am I the only one then?
Ah well, suckers.

Guess what? DVD.
Mmm-hmmm.

It's got Metroid, Pikmin 2 and Paper Mario on it as the 3 big games, with loads of clips on each one. I must say, I was excited about Paper Mazza 2 before, but now simple can't wait - I even avoided watching some bits so I didn't spoil anything.

And there's a load of other, frankly quite boring, games on there as well.

In the letters bit, they give a absolutely positive answer that the DS will not be region-encoded. Not even a little bit.
Truth?

Reviews are all pretty meh-inducing - although *shock* Mario Pinball is actually rather crap.

No, inside, hiding behind the door. My parents had picked it up, and for some reason stuck it there.

I was weeping.

Good enough for me ^_^b

Also, (what edit function?) on the DVD it's got a proper title sequence and NGC TV everywhere. Could this mean it could become slightly more regular?

Issue #100 next time as well, so expect something special.

They only gave Madden 86 because "it's well hard". They must be rubbish, and they didn't mention anything about the newspapers or the Tony Bruno show! Methinks they didn't even play the career mode.

Donkey Konga 88
Defjam FFNY 80 (framerate problems)
Pikmin 2 92

DVD? Woo! Must buy then.

How sure is "absolutely positive" about the encoding then? :D

Review Scores anyone?

What, outside the front door?
Because that's where I found mine, propped up there when I came home from college - even though the post had come before I left.

Perhaps Future have some magic magazine teleporter thigummy.

That 3D GTA type game for the GBA looks to be great, as long as the frame rate doesnt suck...

The Metroid Prime 2 footage is pretty sweet aswell.

The magazine itself is a bit boring this month although END GC is quite funny. It's The regfridregator - Reggie 'It's pronounced FEES-oe-MAY!' Fils-Aime

Yeah, I thought Super Mario Ball was looking quite good - only got 55% though.
