My brother gets Nintendo Official Magazine through the post on it's date of publishing and when I read it I thought, "Yay-more N64 games previewed and even a Pokémon Gold Review!"

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!

It is soooooooooo easy to be a 'Wario's Winner; in that mag, and get a game. You just have to write a VERY short, VERY sharp sentace and you're there!

I notice you made a point of mentioning that it's your brothers copy of ONM and not your own ;)

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.

I stopped considering Sega as main rivals as soon as they launched the Saturn, however I knew they were still competition.

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!

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!
