Nintendo

Thanks for the note about the Nintendo games list; I'll add my opinion there. I thought you might also like to know about http://nintendo.wikia.com where they would welcome this information without complaint. :) — Catherine\^talk 18:25, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question about reference

Hi Floppydog66! Thank you for clarifying the title of Bass Hunter 64. However, I have a question about the reference you provided for the game on List of Take-Two Interactive video games. You listed the name of the periodical as Nintendo World and the publisher as Future Publishing. Nintendo World appears to be a Portuguese-language magazine published by Conrad Editora in Brazil, whereas Future Publishing produced Nintendo Power. Is the reference correct? – Zntrip 07:08, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I saw that article about the Brazil magazine. But I'd never heard of it before then. I only know of the UK magazine by Future Publishing. I'm not sure how many issues that released, I know there were at least 17, there was an advertisment for it in N64 Magazine #46, and then on issue #47 of N64 Magazine it announced thay had merged the two magazines. I think 'Nintendo World' was published twice a month. I tried finding information on the the publisher's site but didn't see anything about them. I did find a few other online pics of the UK magazine. This first one from RetroMags, and the second one is German Ebay seller that had the UK issues. I only have Nintendo World issue #8 that I got a long time ago with a lot purchase of magazines.

Is there perhaps another source that doesn't have any confusion surrounding it? – Zntrip 20:55, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If your looking for only websites, I'm not sure there are many UK websites still around that reviewed N64 games. Perhaps Internet Archive would have some of the older UK sites. There are only a few sites out there that have information on both releases, such as this;

But for most Wikipedia articles a magazine's review information is usually better then a website. (Floppydog66 (talk) 23:34, 1 May 2013 (UTC))[reply]
