None. There are not many magazines that ever have anything in them that you havent seen on the web yet. Print is slow. I do like EGM though. They seem to always have screen shots you cant find on the web. Nintendo Power is some good toilet reading. :) It serves 2 purposes in my house! :) Out.

And the only reason Playstation has good games is because Sony stole all Nintendo's japanese 3rd parties. But I don't agree that Sega has good 1st party developers.

Square has said though, and we could only wish that both happen, this when/if the 64DD is released they may develop for Nintendo again. - --David [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1999 14:27:41 -0500 From: "Eddy Wu" Subject: Re: [N64] N64 Mags... Forget Nintendo Power. They occasionally will be the first to release some information (for instance, they were the first to reveal the first and only DK64 pic), but the language and coverage is targeted to a much younger, less hardcore audience. I would go with EGM, they cover the info well, and they are funny as hell. Also, the quality of their reviews is unrivalled, in print or on the web. - -----Original Message----- From: Davidxvx@aol.com To: n64@lists.xmission.com Date: Thursday, February 25, 1999 9:24 PM Subject: Re: [N64] N64 Mags... >In a message dated 2/25/99 4:06:50 PM Pacific Standard Time, catons@juno.com >writes: > ><< Lately I've been just picking up EGM's at my nearest Wal-Mart, but I was > wondering what mag I should subscribe to.
