    More people than me care about this right? Yeah, right?

    So, you want some Nintendo related media, maybe you want a podcast. Perhaps you, like me, enjoy having an actual magazine to read as opposed to reading an article off a computer screen! Maybe I'm a weirdo! (no maybe about that)

    But anyway, here's some stuff to whet your appetite.

    This Nintendo Power podcast is brand new and completely unexpected, but from the looks of the description it'll have some pretty cool guests like Mr. Eiji Aonuma, and director, Mr. Hidemaro Fujibayashi on to discuss all your Nintendo related needs.

    Nintendo Voice Chat is IGN's Nintendo podcast. Not my favourite podcast, but its not bad.





    But this is what I really wanted people to look at, the spiritual successor to the original Nintendo Power, Nintendo Force!

    Now thats just an example of a cover, but its excellent, I'm a big fan. Now here's the somewhat bad news, its patreon (crowd) funded, and thus its not as cheap as you'd want it to be, to get a print copy of the magazine, its close to 15 quid per issue. The good news is that its only released every 2 months, so its not as big an investment as you might think. It's also a very well made, well written mag (now including a column written by Arlo!) that I think is well worth the cash. Highly recommended. If you don't want a print copy and just want to read it, you can read it digitally on a much cheaper patreon level also, FYI.


    There's also Edge magazine! Which isn't specifically Nintendo, but is excellently written and well worth a read. It's also readily available to buy in your local newsagents.



    If there's anything else I'm missing, why not share? I'm sure there was a unofficial Pokemon magazine not that long ago, but the website appears to be dead.

    Id love the days of reading Nintendo official magazine again, used to love getting a pack of crisps and flicking through the mag. Jose otero was a huge loss to NVC, i havent really listened since he left as i think the quality of the show dipped without him.

    That nintendo force mag looks intresting, might invest :)

    Arlo's top ten games!





    This guy doesn't cover Nintendo exclusively, but his video essays on Zelda/Mario/Wonderful 101 are excellent.
