Cube-Eyrope has the skinny:

"Friday, 12 December, the latest issue of Nintendo Official Magazine UK (NOM UK) will be available bundled with a FREE playable demo disc. Readers who buy their copy from GAME stores will receive a three-level playable demo of Sega’s Billy Hatcher & the Giant Egg (with single and multiplayer options), an official inflatable Nintendo toy (Bullet Bill, Bowser or Ganondorf), PLUS a free pack of Pokémon STAKS (collectible character magnets)."

Woo. And they mentioned the Feb issue comes with a "a highly collectible Super Smash Bros. Melee music CD, which until now has only been available in Japan".

I won't be buying the Jan issue.. already have Billy Hatcher - top game mostly, but the Melee music disk could be pretty decent, I was happy with the Zelda one they covermounted a few months back.

Anyway. Definately a move in the right direction for NOM, no? Shame it's only happend now though..

Anyway, it's good to see that Nintendo have finally listened though

Usually costs Ł3.95 I think, which for a mag (albeit not half as entertaining as NGC, an inflatable, a demo disk and some magnets ain't too shabby.

And Billy Hatcher's alright, first few levels are very good. Definately worth trying if you haven't played it already: and this is a perfect oppurtunity.

Not bad, but it's GAME who's being "generous" and NOM who's tagging along.

I wonder when NOM will be able to make their own independant demo disks every month, like the Xbox and PS2 mags.

Damn, I got Ganondorf and he's quite shockingly small, I was hoping for something bigger that you can actually punch properly

The demo disk is good though, 3 levels over 3 difficulties, not too shabby...

If you throw them up and make them spin, you can hit them againts a wall and they bounce around for a while.

It's best to do it in a corner (TWO walls to bounce off of, *OOOOH*)
