Mario Party 7

Lastly next month you get a free GBA Micro carry case.

Isn't it out tommorow though, what did Touch Golf get?

Is it a new team or the same?

[Locky]

Cheers for that. :santa:

Picked up a copy this morning but haven't looked at it yet cos I'm at work.

[Hero-of-Time]

The re-release of the mag isnt til Jan and Touch Golf was just a preview but they gave it an estimated 60%

[Nintenchris]

Did they mention anything about it being there last issue as there not going to be doing it anymore?

[Stefkov]

do they really expect we all bought micros, theyre giving us a micro carry case, not great gifts. as always

[skarmachild]

It isn't bad - even though a bloody Micro comes with a carry case. I'm off now to buy em.

[skarmachild]

Isn't in my arsing shop:(

[fatnickc]

That would be because it comes out tomorrow..

[demonmike04]

might buy this for the preview of animal crossing, they always convey the best gameplay in those big previews...

[mike-zim]

i might get it just for the animal crossing thing.

[Kurtle Squad]

I thought it was okay this month...not the greatest!!
The calendar is far too filled with Mario & Zelda

[Mike]

I'll see if I can find a copy of this at the weekend. Speaking of NOM, though, I just got the very first issue of it through the post today, which I won off eBay for £4.00. :)

[Jazzem]

It isn't bad - even though a bloody Micro comes with a carry case. I'm off now to buy em.

It does? Why on Earth have Nintendo released an offical one?

[AshMat]

Im off to get it tomorow, willt here be a january issue then im confused about that..

[Kurtle Squad]

Yes....Magazines always come out the month before their Date says!!

[Stocka]

What do they have/say in the preview for Tales of Phantasia?

It will be good when they re-release it as future publishings allways seem good.

[The-Ironflame]

I have to say the screen shots I've seen of ToP on the Snes look quite weird :p
I wouldn't mind knowing what they think of it.

[skarmachild]

Bought - Okay issue. Can't wait for next one if there is a new team.

[Xeal]

It's alright. Seen better, seen worse. Started getting it in '97. For me it was great 'til 2002. Still I subscribed this past year.

Just read something about CUBE (which I like more) being sold off. I was Wandering why I couldn't find it. Is it true?

I do like Future.

[AshMat]

I totally owned their challenges, 3 more certificates please muahaha, probably took me 3/4 of an hour to get the technique but i have succesfully beaten all 3 mario Kart ds challenges.

[Locky]

Just read something about CUBE (which I like more) being sold off. I was Wandering why I couldn't find it. Is it true?

Yep, CUBE is no more. Number 52 was the last issue. See this thread (http://www.revo-europe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2209).

[Josh64]

Well it sounds quite good, usually they dont have that much. It will have to do been as Cube is no more. :( What would u guys say is better, NGC of nintendo official magazine?

[skarmachild]

NOM you ****.

Tim Street owns your frickin ass.

[AshMat]

NOM easy, i really hope they keep the current staff

[Atomic Boo]

Nothing - more in next issue.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone still had a complete set of the Mario Magnets that were given away with NOM and the Stars Catalogue some time ago? If so, I was wondering if you would be good enough to scan a picture of them all and post it up for everyone (if you have a scanner of course) If you dont know what I mean here is a link to an completed auction for them:-
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1
Unfortunately the pic in the auction isnt really clear enough for my purposes.
The reason I ask is because I unfortunately I never managed to get a set , but I really like the pics so I though if I could get a scan of them I thought that I could print them out onto some sticker paper, cut them up, and hey presto! I have myself a set of Mario Stickers to adorn my games cupboard!

I dont know if this is really the right place to be putting this, so I hope its ok, I didnt really want to make a new thread for it. Thanks everyone

[JonathanEx]

My subscription copy doesn't seem to have arrived, must have ended an issue early. Oh well, off to the shops to buy this one.

[Xeal]

Someone stole my "Nintendome" idea with that battle suit thingy. Supposed to be a screen that surrounds the player in a full 3d arena and you can attack in any direction around you. simple enough I suppose, but would be really expensive though and looks silly.

Where are the comps?

[AshMat]

Nothing - more in next issue.
What are you on about? there was like a 2/3 page preview

[Stefkov]

What are you on about? there was like a 2/3 page preview
it wasnt really much though was it, it said the controls were basically the same as the demo and moaned about it may lead to cramping because the fire is the L button, and they only encountered one enemy, they said the walls were pretty and thats about it.

[skarmachild]

What are you on about? there was like a 2/3 page preview

Oh yeh great! Screens from the demo:
"We like the sound of Assault Cradle"
Well go and play it then :/

Not anything new really - next issue will have loads of MPH stuff.

[mario114]

I beat the other mario scores (my gba mario times own big time), but i will have to wait intill christmas to play mario ds :(

I was looking through snes stuff on ebay and found this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Super-Nintendo-Snes-Nes-Mario-Brothers-Magnet-Set-New_W0QQitemZ8242436769QQcategoryZ3592QQrdZ1QQcmdZ ViewItem

They're in the packing though so i dont think it will work

[Xeal]

For me it was like this....
1. Cube
2. NOM
3. NGC

NOM has never been the same since 2001. If it was like then it would be No.1. I miss the other guys.
