 Overall Great Nintendo magazine, but may not be for everyone. July 30, 2008

I've had this magazine for almost a decade now and it's gone through many changes and renovations through those years. Here though, I'll try to explain the aspects of the most recent phase of this magazine.
- There's a section dedicated exclusively to Wii Channels. Here, the staff will provide previews and reviews on wiiware and virtual console games. Being that wiiware previews/reviews aren't as widespread across the net as actual games, these insights might prove useful.
- There's also a very nifty chart keeping track of all games in development for Nintendo systems. I often refer to this chart as it is very convenient.
- The magazine maintains a good connection with readers and fans. There are the usual few pages dedicated to reading mail, but in addition to that, Nintendo Power likes to look at what fanboys/girls are doing to show their Nintenlove. They interview fans who hand-craft real-life replicas of Zelda swords, someone who made their house into a model of Super Mario Bros., and other die-hard fans like that. So all you Nintendo fans, rejoice!
- Lots of interviews. Nintendo Power really wants you to know what's in the minds of developers, publishers, and other big people in the gaming world. I find that in general, each issue has several interviews. This is nice and all, but if you're not into interviews, you may find these things taking up space.
- Lots of screenshots. There is not a single page without a picture on it. Every game they present to you will have a screenshot with it. And with games in the features section, you'll often find the pictures taking up more space than the words. This, of course, makes the article seem much longer than it actually is. But in general, I find these pictures very useful for getting an idea of the graphical style of games. And this is a big plus for those who like to quickly go through a magazine and check out the pictures.
- Maybe not as mature as some other gaming magazines. I do notice some of the content is organized with the younger reader in mind. I did notice that one article even had a warning which urged those under 17 to skip the article. This isn't to say that older readers won't enjoy this magazine at all, but don't expect anything overly mature.
- Many of the articles also tend to be "light reads." They may look long but they're actually not. I'd say that each article is about a page or so (in conventional, small magazine font) without all the pictures. So those looking for extensive, long articles may find themselves dissapointed. But those who are looking for a general idea of a game and its concepts will be very pleased.
- Biased reviews. This is definitely noticeable. If Nintendo published or developed the game, don't trust the review on it. Their reviews of third-party games are generally reliable, but I would suggest that you consult other sources for game reviews.
- They do offer a contest every magazine, and the prizes are always desirable. A definite plus.

I'm serious. This is probably the greatest official magazine on the face of the planet! They offer honest reviews, and before-it-ever-happens info on everything Nintendo! I would actually give this item a 4 or three star review. But, that's only because I sudgest getting two years instead of one!! Your friend in gaming,

Good Luck.

Star Munchkin is a fun add-on to the Munchkin game series, and mixes perfectly with other Munchkin games.
The game pokes fun of traditional RPG (role-playing games), pop culture and movies. Star Munchkin (or any of the Munchkin games) is most fun played with four or more players. An entire game can be played start to finish in about one hour. One of the coolest things about Munchkin games is how expandable they are. And if you like to "cheat" a little when you play games, Star Munchkin is the perfect game for you.
Really cool February 8, 2008

This is a good mag about what is coming out for your favorite Nintendo system. The reviews are maybe slightly biased, but so what. They are reviewing games for their gaming platforms. You get reviews based on how they feel the companies made the game for the DS or Wii. Pick this up and enjoy.
