Really is rather good. It's got loads of footage of new gams, and a groovy into sequence. But there are 3 problems...
1) Where..are...the...demos??
2) The narrator is obviously just reading from script, and has no idea about games (lame example I know, but he said N - E - S (seperate letters) instead of just NES.
3) Whats with the exploding disk??
Everything else was good however. Play it on a surround sound TV, it sounds great. Really :D

I see it. And I still agree there's an upside to it all.

Perfect Dark 0? With that new look, the Goldeneye team gone and the original not shaping up to expectations things are looking very bleak for that FPS. I'll stick with my Timesplitters 2, Die Hard: Vendetta and Metroid Prime, thank-you very much.
And as for Kameo, Pokemon on the GameCube will easily beat it (providing rumours are true). Plus, four games in two years? Sounds like Microsoft are rushing Rare into a frantic frenzy of games - EA style.
Sorry, but Rare are no use to Nintendo, and if they got $230,000,000 for that, I'm not arguing.

I don't useless is the right term but they're certainly not the company they used to be, starfox Adventures reviews speak for themselves. That game took them around 3 years to make which is a bit worrying.

I have no idea what you're talking about - I can't find anything. But there ARE upsides to losing Rare. $250,000,000 for a useless company is one...

Just got this this morning and it's okay - I can't help feeling that this, and the whole magazine, is some kind of big GC christmas advert. Which is great, but aren't Nintendo supposed to do this and not the magazine ?
I liked the footage of Metroid, Reign Of Fire, Disney Sports, and Mario Party 4, but the rest I didn't bother with. I would've preferred more game previews, reports e.t.c like the NGC discs.

Sheessh.... stop arguing, will you?
Good. I was actually very impressed by the NOM DVD and magazine, and I don't mind paying an extra 35p for it either.
I agree that NES really ought to be pronounced as 3 letters (just as Nike should be pronouced as N-eye-key, and there's nothing wrong with that. It does get a little frustrating to earn that man talking with such ridiculous enthusiasm about the enormous merits of Disney Sports, though.

Sorry, but the amount of times I've seen people write this and not stop posting make your statement more than moderately amusing to me.
Once again...
