Is Nintendo Power and better now?

[Propaganda Man]

I heard a while ago that NP went under new management away from Nintendo. Is it the same or is it's content better? I hated the last few issues that I got of NP finding it biased to say the least.

Very improved. A lot more mentions of the competition... the head guy, Chris Slate, once lead PSU and Xbox Magazine, I believe.

Good (I need to proof read my titles. >.<) I'll probably re-subscribe.

I let my subscription run out about 8 months ago, or so... don't think I'll ever renew. I lost faith in NP once, renewed, it was OK for a couple months, got crappy, and then I got another half a year for no reason... waste of money.

Everything can be read online for free.

I tried Nintendo Power out last year on a 3 for free deal that they had it's a pretty good magazine but really I'm kind of lazy in reading magazines so they just sit there after awhile. But, I do try to read it in which, the article on Sonic and the Secret Rings did make me interested in the game So, some things are interesting also the article with the non-gamer stuff back in January (Last year) or so was funny.

Of course it was biased. Why would Nintendo bash it's own products?

You don't need to bash your own products to be baised.

Pretty much the same


Of course... there was really no problem with it before.

It's so biased it's not funny.

Sorry, last I knew giving a bunch of games they liked a good rating was called opinion not "OMG THE END"

Guys, get a clue; the new NP is no longer biased because they have no connection to Nintendo anymore, really.

Yes, but little kids don't realize that their favorite magazine was only created to further popularize the Nintendo franchise.

I really don't even see a point in NP. Why should you critique your own games, if you're just going to give the game a 213144213453453/10?

Regardless of new management, it doesn't mean that the baised reviews will go away.

And why not? The only reasons they were biased was because they were owned by Nintendo, and that obviously had some... monetary issues involved.

Obviously it was created for the Nintendo franchise. Just like XBox mag... the PS one... MacWorld, etc.

And if "little kids" don't understand what a review is... their fault.

I'm not saying Nintendo did or would but, as an example, special interest groups can have the same effect as Nintendo did with ownership.

Close enough, we were talking about reviews.
