Farewell To Nom Uk

[Emoeevee]

Mum just bought me the new magazine and to my horror, NIntendo official magazine is no more, I was in it twice.

Im not to bortherd as ther will be a new nintendo magazine with a all new cast/team and a new look, but the only thing i want to know is .... whens it out??? I know febuary cause that what it says but when???? I cant keep looking out for it i dont live near shops i get mum to get it (believe me shes only just learnt what NOM looks like)

Erm, it's not over. It's just got a new contract with "Future Publishing" It should be out February 2006 with a new name (Official Nintendo Magazine (so what, it's ONM now?)) Aparently it's going to have a new "Premium" look and feel with a new Editorial Team.

[Poison Master]

ONM!? Awesome, wasn't that what it was before it became Nom? I hope so, I preferred it that way.

 

[Xkraid]

With new people it'll suck! The old people ruled with the occasional Lol and 1337 talk... It'll never be the same again! *Cries*

 

[kaibachaoschampion]

I hope that NOM and ONM are the same people. It'll never be the same otherwise....

 

[Chris]

What the? The magazine came with free gifts? Lame. All Nintendo Power gives us US readers are posters and rarely do we get free stuff unless you're subscribed or have to order subscriptions.

 

[Kakashi-Sharingan Warrior]

yeah I got my nom in the mail yesturday.

there is still going to be a NOM, but not with the same crew, Tim Street and others are no longer doing it.... after 13 years....... such a shame, we can no longer hear their witty jokes about stuff....

 

[Joe]

Yup, the NOM team is finished, and is being taken over by some company other than Emap. Too bad, Tim and the gang were great for the magazine, it won't be the same without them. Especially Dean, he was hilarious. xD

yup.........

but they were too generous with crazy frog racer...

and lets hope the ONM people like pokemon as much as they did.....
and will that mean Club Seal will be gone for good? if it does then I will cry in my sleep

 

[MidnightScott]

NOE doesnt actually handle the Magazine - that's weird or Nintendo UK or whoever. I know that Nintendo Power is still going strong, I just ordered a subscription about 2 weeks ago for $12 ^_^

Yeah, oh well, hopefully the new magazine will be much better for yall.

We know NOE doesn't do it, it's the team mentioned in the mag.

It's not like they gave us a box full of stuff each issue. Gifts don't make it lame, some of them were actually good.

I read about this, the group doing it before it ended were great.

 

[Joe]

but they were too generous with crazy frog racer...

WAY too generous. >_>;

and will that mean Club Seal will be gone for good? if it does then I will cry in my sleep

Same here, Seal was my favourite part of the mag.

Hopefully, the ONM won't change much of the magazine, but I doubt that'll happen. We already know that Seal and Marios World is gone. I'll raise hell if they get rid of World of Nintendo. That part's amazing.

 

[MaskedManAbsolkid]

Yeah, too generous with Crazy Frog Racer.

I loved Club Seal, especially the Princess Peach interview, I still laugh about that.

 

[Emoeevee]

ONM, that sounds terrible! NOM was easier to say and official nintendo magazine dosent sont right. Im gutted there going i have emails from Tim Street and Mike Jakson becuse i was in the letters/emails bit 2 times. My first ever NOM Tim was in it and it was a pokemon special. its not fair they had a wierd approch to reviews a very random imature one but it worked. Im gutted. I just hope they have a female member of the team GIRL POWER!

Yeah we get free gifts. They suck thou!

Former Absolkid - I love the peach interview too! U can guess my favorate bit cause i probably will get told off for saying as its a bit dodgy

 

[Serebii]

I especially liked their Emerald prview in Issue 154

*coughs*

Yeah the old NOM was great and Tim, Kingsley & Rob were all standup guys, but as the song says...nothing lasts forever

I'm sure the new team will be great

 

[Joe]

Yeah, Kingsley was great.......until he got sacked. ;_; He was my fave, he loved Star Wars as much as me. ^_^ I still remember when Rob won that competition, as well. Doesn't seem like he's be at the mag that long to me. 0o

*remembers playing the NOM guys at the Pokemon tourney* That r00led.

Anyway, here's hoping that the new guys won't totally screw up the magazine and loses loads of readers. >.>;

 

[Bulk]

The free gifts wern't that bad, it'd nice to get something original every now and again.

Also, ONM really doesn't have the same ring to it. NOM's a way batter name and the new team will probably never live up to the... "greatness" of the old team. Ah well, all good things must come to an end someday...

 

[Emoeevee]

another thing i hope they dont put the price up £3.99 iss all i can afford! A girl has a mobile fone bill u know!

 

[navel_fluff]

It has a premium feel and look which means its going to be a pile of cheap crap. No free gifts I expect. They got rid of all gamecube games from GAME near me as well so this is it for nintendo.

i think you may be right! My nearest GAME haas very little selection they even had the nerve to tell my mum shes speaking out her bum when she askd for pokemon xd gale of darkness, when it was released. So yea, i have to agree with you.;249-d;
