Whether you like it or not, Winter is finally upon us and Nintendo is waving goodbye to the sunny season with an all-new online magazine.
The full 84-page 'zine shared today on Nintendo's official Japanese website is, as you might expect, written in Japanese, but those who haven't been doing their Duolingo need not fret because an abridged 54-page English version is also available.
As with the previous seasonal editions, this latest winter issue is all about the games Nintendo has released over the past six months. Inside, you'll find a multi-page spread on Mario & Luigi: Brothership, an overview of some Super Mario Party Jamboree minigames, a look at Princess Zelda's special Echoes of Wisdom skills and a quick round-up of some of the games heading our way in 2025.
You can read all of the mag's English features by clicking on the link above or by heading over to the Nintendo website. Those in Japan can even pick up a physical version in select stores — oof, you lucky lot.
And if you're just here for the pretty pictures (we don't blame you), you can download the mag's front cover and rear calendar as wallpapers — as long as you're logged into your Nintendo account, of course.
Recent Nintendo stars to have graced the Winter magazine cover include Pikachu in 2021, an Inkling in 2022 and a group of Pikmin in 2023. Might the next one be from a 'Switch 2' game? Good heavens, we hope so.
What's your favourite feature in Nintendo's Winter 2024 mag? Let us know in the comments.

Love to see it, will check the full Japanese version when I have the time, but glad there's an English version if abridged for those who don't know Japanese!
Winter is not upon us all, there's a whole other hemisphere having summer.
These are brilliant, I just wish Nintendo would print in English.
Bring back club Nintendo! I'll happily subscribe. Those were the good old days, was looking forward to it every month.
Very nice quality. Would be kinda cool if you could order like a free print version as a wee Christmas treat or something.
I don't think I will get interested in reading game magazine anymore as I'm very very picky in choosing the games.
Is there a way to download it?
@SwitchplayerJohn They do print physical English editions, but only in Japan, unfortunately. They’re free at all Nintendo Stores.
@John_Deacon I was just trying to figure that out myself.
@RetroGames That would be cool. Or even opt to use some platinum points in MyNintendo for a physical.
@Dee123
Their the upside down people, best keep your distance they be a strange bunch.
Ps. Did you hear they make snowman on beaches out of sand for Christmas.
Certainly feels like Winter already, but it is still another month away ... always feels like time goes by somehow differently when visiting NL XD
Happy with the new edition of the Nintendo mag.
Would love to subscribe to a paper version if that was a thing.
@The_DuckWitch yes, I've had a seafood Christmas lunch in Sydney once. The lobster was the best I've ever had.
That Bowser portrait deserves to be hung in his castle somewhere!
These Nintendo digital magazines are always a little fun to click through. They inevitably make me reminisce about the days of reading Nintendo Power.
I didn't know nintendo make promotion magazine like this, nice 😃
Is It possible to download these magazines?
Speaking of things to use mynintendo points on, something like this would've been very cool. I've always felt like the point rewards have been a bit lackluster.
Bring back paper magazines. I would subscribe to ONM in a heartbeat.
I would sub to a physical Nintendo Power magazine in a millisecond. Even just a quarterly type of thing. Zero hesitation
Love the quality devoted to these digital magazines! This is always an enjoyable flip-through as a Nintendo fan, lots of lifestyle inspo.
@John_Deacon and @Dijita: I've created downloads of Nintendo Magazine in my Google Drive folder. I compiled the best quality English pages and included the Japanese pages when no English page was available.https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1wiwd-v34ImTVyV_LTN8O8Hx3pTlZCqUz

@VGScrapbook Thank you! this is great!
@YANDMAN thanks, the covers already look like the old magazines from back in the day. Might check this out.
@1UP-HUSKY it's really good. And you only pay local postage rates regardless of where you live in the world. Order to your door in about a week.
