I'd love to hear from both subscribers and non-subscribers alike. Thanks a bunch

Don't you agree, Zach? Posts: 5,078 Group: Former Staff Member #11,349 Joined: October 23, 2008 Coins 3	I'm not a subscriber. I get most of my news from IGN. If you just care about news, then I'd save your money.

It was an awesome mag and I wanted to have a similar experience nowadays. I suppose the internet content for games wasn't quite as prominent as it is now. I suppose I might just stick to internet sites.

Always tl;dr Posts: 4,821 Group: Former Staff Member #11,315 Joined: October 17, 2008 Gender Male Coins 38, 1 Peek	I loved getting Nintendo Power, but the only thing was... it made me too excited about games! I ended up spending tons of money all of the time (granted on quality games. They do a good job with reviews, IMO). I really do enjoy reading the articles and reviews, but I just can't afford to spend money on games all of the time. I would say (from posts you've made around the forum) that you're obviously pretty into the Wii and such, so getting the mag would be beneficial I think. Especially since you want to get your girlfriend into it, it can give you in depth reviews that you can read together and decide what you want. I hope this helped!

See I used to read an independent magazine that was geared solely to Playstation, but not a Playstation sponsored mag. The problem is that Nintendo Power is an official mag sponsored by Nintendo which I think might make it biased. Lets face it, they're trying to move their products and keep their hardware successful. This is the only Nintendo mag I've come across.

The magazine has improved on getting news that is exclusive when the magazine first gets revealed. This is the best magazine to get Nintendo material so if you're a huge nintendo fan, go for it. Otherwise go get a Game Informer subscription. If you just want news, go to gonintendo.com or kotaku.com. Hope this helps!

Also, they were the first on Red Steel 2 and the upcoming Capcom vs Tatsunoko game. Have fun at your job, make sure to save up that hard earned cash for the Conduit!
