Yes i know that you were expecting a load of ninty posts to day. I was going to post this yesterday but today seemed a better day. Don't like it, tough!


Due to the GC coming out today, the Official nintendo magazine decided to change around the image of the mag. Instead of it being the friendly magazine that mainly younger people would read and the older ninty fans would read GC they have changed it to appeal to a wider auidence.

The only reason nintendo have done this is for two reasons:

1) To make people buy the GC (it's blantent properganda)
2) To advertise that yuo don't need the N64 the GC has come.

I used to read this magazine on a regular basis and every month they would say that the N64 rules and you should throw it out or sell it. But now they couldn't care less.

I feel it's sad that for every one that still play on there N64 and can't afford a Game cube, is treated like this. They got rid of there Awesome collection which was the best games on the N64 (though as it was an official magazine most of the N64 games were in there). But the good ones were still there.

They have also said goodbye to the N64 cheats section of the mag which is again annoying as new hints and cheats come in all the time.

What do you think it would cost Nintendo to produce a small leaflet or several pages stuck together and put it in there magazine, hardly anything.

So the new magazine is as good as it was one advertising the N64 but now has moved on to the GC and GBA. The new mag has indeed aged with the GC with mild swearing and pictures of the excorist girl.


Thank you for reading.

I'd hardly call mild swearing and piccies of the Exorcist ageing.

Oh well done, you had to spoil a perfectly good laughing-at-Nintys morning with a sensible post. Eat my chuddies.
