I got reading all the reviews and previews and took a look at the "Club Mario" section, laughed at Cardiff boy thinking that Links Ocarina in Majora's Mask is the one Saria gives him in Ocarina of time....
Then I saw something which I thought I'd never ever see in Nintendo's own Magazine:
Sonic and other Sega games printed on a whole page with an article about them!
Even though I already knew about Sega working on Gamecube and Gameboy Advance titles I was still amazed to see it in writing in Nintendo's own magazine!
It's a piece of gaming history! One of the most important pieces of history since Shiguru Miyamoto made the first ever platform game!
That issue of Nintendo Official Magazine is one to keep in a very safe place cos I can guarantee you wont see official gaming news like that for a long, long time!

The Game
Anyway, yes it's a truly meaningful occasion. I wonder if SEGA will release many Game gear games on the GBA? (which is suspiciously similar in design to SEGA's failed hand held...) It would just strike me as rather ironic if that happened, just like a blast from the past.
"Let's all worship SEGA now they're not our rivals anymore!"
When Sony kept the Playstation for themselves I thought of them as main rivals and hoped Sega would join Nintendo.
It's still a shock though!
DARN, forgotten what I was gonna write

I never lie! That's my policy!
Lying can hurt people (no matter how small the lie is) so I don't do it!
However you can only take my word for it on here!

What was the first platform game?... And when was it written?
