NGC is much better then NOM because you get more information about games on the GC and GBA and you get a video in one of the issues and NOM do not even know about Mario Advance two yet.

I buy NOM and NGC, and I prefer NGC by far.
NOM is good, but I think it's a bit too unimformitive and they are a bit too kind with the game ratings.e.g:the world is not enough - 94%, ok it's good, but not that good.
On the other hand, NGC is longer and more informitive.
Lovely !!!

what kind of magazine is Edge? Nintendo or all formats?
Actually, before the time NOM decided to go all 'kiddie' like, with excrutiatingly cutesy front covers, etc..., the actual journalism was very good. In those days, they were known as Nintendo Magazine System (NMS). Now however, they just plaster the reveiws with loads of screenshots, and hardly any writing.
I prefer well written journalism, than loads of screenshots. This is one the reasons why I love Digitiser. As they cannot show screenshots of games, they have to rely on good journalism. And I like the way they write about games.
Back to the topic, I much prefer NGC, because of their style of journalism. Things like their features, reviews, news, etc are a pleasure to read. After a while, I just stopped reading NOM, because the topics and style they slowly changed to, became too immature (or kiddie-like, if you like).
The other magazine I used to love was N64 Pro. They too, at the start, had a great writing team, who knew what they were writing about, and relied on their writing to sell the magazine. But since its decline (notably after Paragon Publishing bought it out), it became nothing more than a picture book for little kids.
So there you have it, my N64 magazine preferences. In terms of the general gaming press, I bought Arcade until they stopped making them in the 'big, fat' format, and I also liked to read Edge (although it's a bit expensive to buy all the time).
