Nintendo Official

I'm talking about the one written by Tim Street, Dean Smith, Kingsley Singleton, Frank Cifaldi, Mike Jackson, and all the others I can't recall from the top of my head.

It was very witty, funny, and fairly unbiased despite it being supposedly biased.

It's a shame when the rights were sold to Future Publishing, the team was replaced with a new writing team. It was then renamed to Official Nintendo Magazine and then I lost interest in it. Why I lost interest? Because the newer writing team was quite biased (while they claimed to be unbiased) and their writing style felt too corporate. I supposed it suited Nintendo's aim to sell the Wii to the adults at the time.

Is no longer in print but used to be very good, it was witty, well written and not biased. When the new staff took over from previous editor Tim Street it was no longer as good, and I lost interest

Amazing magazine. Worth every bit of the costs, if you are a nintendo fan and you aren't buying this mag then your seriously missing out.

Nintento Official Magazine was an excellent magazine because it had great reviews, a sense of humour and the language they used was 'awesome'.

I loved the old NOM, the extremely witty and in my opinion largely intelligent team consisted of Tim Street, Dean Scott, Kingsley Singleton, Mike Jackson and Rob Burman who wrote the magazine wonderfully. It seems the new mag, as I have only come back to it recently, has done away with them apart from Mike Jackson. As said, it is still readable, but is without the love of previous issues. I still get out my old copies and flick through captions and reviews, as well as the genius of 'Bobby Tokio' and 'Club Seal', they are truly hilarious.

Offical Nintendo Magazine used to be good, and was surprisingly lacking bias for an offical magazine (see official PS2 magazine's reviews of killzone, goldeneye and 50 cent for examples of bias). That was maybe ten years ago. Then in the N64 time period they had a change of editorial, and from that point on focused on the kiddie demographic of gamers. The style was unfortuante, and even if I was a child I would have found it patronising. Alas.

Nintendo Official Magazine is the ultimate nintendo magazine. NOM has everything packed in it hints,reviews,pictures and loads more

Nintendo Official Magazine (N.O.M) UK is a very good magazine with a very good layout: the reviews are very handy (a good game gets a high score, bad games not).

Also, every month, the magazine bursts with other articles (other than re-and previews) which are very fun to read, too.

Further, you always get the latest news, things that happen in Japan (big in Japan), interviews, masterclass (how to beat your games), cheats, the newest pics, 4 pages fanmail, contests and even game-based puzzles.
