It completely transports me to Kanto... It's like waking up, and being there.. I can see it when i close my eyes.. Magical stuff...
With the Bicycle theme i could just feel the wind on my face and see the rolling grass fields.... the sun setting in the distance. Filled with monsters unknown waiting for discovery... This makes me think how amazing a live action movie 'could' be... if done just right
Of course I want the 1st party games... But I'm still so aggravated about the name. So terrible, and confusing... Most people I know still think its just a Wii add on
I've had a subscription since 1999... I remember because i asked for it for christmas, and with the Y2K madness going on i was afraid that it would somehow erase our payment and i wouldn't get it... haha... it came.
There has always been something about this magazine... the quality and thickness and weight to the pages, "break in comment, Jimmy Fallon just said 'Nintendo Powers going out of business, when actually, they're just hitting pause until after their parents go to bed...." the smell of the ink, the fact that they would include as many pictures as possible so my younger self would stay interested in between articles... I don't know.
Just so many good memories waiting in the car for my mom to get out of the store, getting motion sickness on the bus to school, obsessing late at night with a marker highlighting all of the upcoming games i was hoping to get...
I'll miss it, but even more so i'm sad that the upcoming generations of kids won't get to experience any of it... this is just a reflection of the state of our society as a whole. Out with substance, in with convenience...
Great review. I ended up going back to NSMB before i even finished 3D Land.. So I'm glad to hear it's an improved extension of that...
That's why i play Mario.... what it does, it does fantastically. Then again, Galaxy was an overwhelming awesome experience. So i guess what i'm saying, is that whatever they do... is fine with me.
