Nintendo's official magazine is once again gracing our screens, this time with the Summer 2022 edition. And, for the first time since the publication started in 2020, you can read the magazine in English as excerpts have been translated and shared online!
This summer's issue sees Kirby take pride of place on the front cover, with a multi-page spread celebrating the pink puffball's 30th anniversary. There are also spreads on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Nintendo Switch Sports and many more games that will be keeping us entertained over the summer.
Ever wondered which Mario Strikers: Battle League character you are the most similar to? Well, the Summer 2022 edition can tell you that! The fact that we now have an English translation means we can unpack all of this glorious information ourselves, be that by the poolside or sheltering from the rain.
The magazine is available to read right now and it's completely — just follow the link right here to get started.
If you speed through the most recent issue, then why not check out our summaries of the past editions? Or you have a go and read them in Japanese, which are still beautiful to look at even if you can understand can are only available in Japanese, but they still look pretty nice visually!

I literally had no idea these existed and am utterly shocked they’ve been “a thing” since 2020!
I need to read more about this… is this like, the replacement for Nintendo Power?!
@ChromaticDracula no… they’re more of a catalog/advertisement, it would seem, than an actual mag with reviews and stuff. Although if you’re looking for a good Nintendo Power replacement, Nintendo Force Magazine is about the best there is.
He's just having a sip of his pina colada, that's so adorable.
They keep making this marshmallow cuter by the day, I swear. AND THE ICE CUBES ARE STAR-SHAPED AAAAAAAAAH.
Kirby is so CUUUUUTE! Taking a lil sip. Falling off his chair.
I am poolside in Mauritius at the moment (well, it’s evening now, but I was earlier today) and I’m playing Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

Eh? It’s completely what? Free… ridiculous… amazing? All of the above? 😂
Nice magazine. I wish we could get a print version in USA.
They omitted many titles such as the Monster Hunter expansion and the new Fire Emblem game from translation. I wonder if that’s because there are other developers/publishers involved and they didn’t feel like getting the ‘OK’ from them. Otherwise that Japanese magazine is a beauty of 84 pages as well! Even if I can’t read it
I just love japanese cuteness. Seems like good advertisement. If Nintendo could revive those old magazines, that would be awesome. Printed of course.
I had to save Kirby's picture. Being so cute must feel great.
I'll have what Kirby's having!

Actually, the Winter 2021 issue had excerpts in English too! All the others before that one didn't have English, but they seem to be coming with English excerpts now which is pretty sweet. This issue is actually the second issue to have English
