They are waiting so long that I'm losing interest. Don't really care if it's exclusive at this point. The original game is two years old almost.

Some of the chatter on forum posts have questioned what PNM can offer that is different from other online gaming sites. We want to reassure you that we do have official support from Nintendo to run PNM. We have full rights to use the name, and we are working closely with Nintendo's legal and PR teams to guarantee that PNM will feature plenty of exclusive content not available anywhere else.
Many fans have also mentioned that one of the things they disliked about NP was that they didn't focus enough on third party content.  Because PNM is "by fans, for fans", third party titles and game studios will be featured just as prominently. We already have contacts inside several studios developing titles for Wii U and 3DS, and are working hard to gain more.
Thanks for all you do, and please continue to spread the word!

I went ahead and pledged. I really think the reward tiers they set up are unappetizing. They really need more at like the $25, 35, 45, 70 levels.
Glad you chose to sign up. I saw your - quite astute - suggestion about having an $40 level so you could treat a friend, and how they implemented it. Nice  :D

Yeah, well, now I have an extra PNM subscription and no idea what I'm going to do with it! LOL!
Just don't give it to anyone that posted about how print is dead  ;)  Oh wait, no one here said those words. I was thinking of another site.

Yeah Maxi I saw that too. It got a nice little bump since yesterday. Good news but still needs more folks to take the plunge.

I think the only problem with this kickstarter is the dollar amount to get it funded and perhaps how much time is left. These types of Kickstarters need to get lots of exposure and I am about to look around right now to see where exactly where it has been posted. I know when it started it had a month to get it funded for that amount so judging from that I guess that it hasn't been spread around much.
You're right Maxi, they're running out of steam and also running out of time. This is what kinda baffles me. I mostly frequent NinTemple.com (where you know me under the same name) but I took the time to start threads at two other sites (here and at Neg World). I looked around some larger sites and and don't see anything. Why wouldn't PNM start threads at some of the bigger video game forums out there? I've only checked a couple of sites but they would've been the obvious choices. Oh well.


If this doesn't get funded I may go with PNM'S digital option or I may just go with importing ONM.

To be honest I've been considering subscribing to other Nintendo magazines now that NP is ceasing publication. I was actually looking at importing the UK's NGamer/Nintendo Gamer a while back, but even THAT magazine isn't printing anymore!!!

What magazines are left guys? I'm now contemplating importing the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine...

Great googoo-moogoo the price to import these things will give me a heart attack...
Yes the price for imported Nintendo mags are truly high. All the more reason to support Pure Nintendo Magazine. Plus PNM has added some new rewards for people that support this project. Please  check it out and support!

@broodwars I understand your points and maybe this venture won't succeed. Still, I was at my local Barnes and Noble and perused their magazines a while back. There are tons of them on every topic under the sun. I think if some of the niche mags I saw can be published then this one has at least a chance.


As for not risking my $20. Saving it for a different kickstarter. I'm not rich but c'mon twenty bucks? For those that can't afford to take that $20 leap of faith then yeah. Skip it. Myself, I'm not worried about it.

I personally think this is a good idea for a few reasons. Websites can get pretty messy if you are looking for something very specific and from something very old. At times many articles online have been erased from existence while that can't be true for magazines.

As for the messy part you have to go through so many links and such to find what you want and thinks aren't as organized as they should be I feel.
Agreed.

I proposed something like this be done back when it was announced Nintendo Power was going to be shut down. No one even responded to my proposal.
Well I guess these guys agreed with you. Good idea!


As far as comments about the info being free online and available much earlier it's all true. If magazines aren't worth twenty bucks in your eyes nothing they say or I say will probably sway you.


Some people, like myself just like flipping through a magazine sometimes, I think it was Jonny who spoke on RFN  about some of the nice things mags have that are just lacking on a website.


Anyway for those that feel like I do $20 is not all that much to invest. Especially to help some Nintendo fans build something (hopefully) special.

I saw this on NinTemple.com. The new magazine is called Pure Nintendo Magazine. It will be bi-monthly so for the mathematically challenged that's six issues per year. Twenty bucks gets you a subscription and there are perks for those who want to donate more. Here's the link. I for one will be backing this. The internet is best for fast info of course, but there's just something about a real magazine that sets it apart.

Yeah I was so happy to see the rocket and get to fly on it. That lasted about two minutes. Within maybe 15-20 minutes I started to loathe it. I was so relieved to see it wasn't in all the later levels.

Yeah it's a bit ironic since the game puts up signs all over the place telling you exactly which transformation you should use in a given situation - robbing you of the opurtunity to figure it out on your own - and yet relies on the instruction guide to fill you in on some very useful information.

I little info for Fatty_The_Hut (not spoilers or anything). First the game is deeper than you feared. There are four separate areas. The treehouse area and three others, each with ten levels and with each level if you get all three chests you unlock a challenge level so there are a total of 40 regular levels and forty bonus levels (also four bosses). As far as tossing jelly beans out of your field of vision if you press right on the direction pad you get the camera centered on blob. This comes in handy for "leaps of faith". Also if you didn't already know you need only call blob three times and he will float to you in balloon form from anywhere. Once he's closer you can get him out of balloon form by just calling him one more time.


As far as gameplay, as the game progresses you will have different transformations/abilities which add different wrinkles to the game. Just watch the opening movie, everything you see the blob transform into there will be in the game for you to use.


I'm in world four level five I think.

I started playing A Boy and His Blob a little over a week ago. I posted a comment in the review of the game over at Negative World where I usually hang out (mainly lurking lately). Bumping that review thread attracted some other comments and Guiollme mentioned that NWR was starting a sort of game club for the game. Figured I'd check it out since I was already playing it.

I voted for Wario World before reading any of the comments. Looks like I may be the only one =P


I've never played it but have been wanting to pick up a used copy recently.

Ah, I'm so excited for this. Though this comes only a year after Kirby's Epic Yarn, I'm really happy to see another Kirby platormer on a Nintendo home console. Kirby's Adventure is one of my favorite games for the Nintendo Entertainment System, and I hope this Kirby game for Wii will live up to it.


I was also surprised to see another Kirby game so soon after Epic Yarn but I thought I read somewhere that it was in development long before Epic Yarn. Either way it looks so completely different both visually and in terms of gameplay that it's proximity to Epic Yarn chronologically shouldn't be an issue. Especially with the lack of quality Wii games coming out this year.


I'm really looking forward to this one.

Yeah, but McDonalds is a multi-billion dollar international mega corp so they can afford it. Gamestop may be great to their employees (I never worked there, so I have no idea), but its not a good thing for consumers. Supporting the small shops promotes competition in the market place which puts pressure on gamestop to change their ways, and if they don't then consumers now have another option. So that's why supporting small business is a good thing.

[/size]Your statement above doesn't really support your original statement that
Quote
[/size] [/size]its always morally better to support small business


Better for consumers does not necessarily equal "morally better". I do like to support "mom & pop" stores if they offer courteous service, decent selection and at least somewhat competitive pricing. At present however there is no such small businesses selling video games in my area. The GameStop in my town is - fortunately for me - a nice place to get games. In fact the two nearest GS's outside my town are also nice and are still closer than the nearest independent video game store. I do think GS needs more competition in the form of actual brick and mortar game stores. Online is great but sometimes you just wanna go to a store and see what you can get a deal, walk out with, and go home and play.

It's as objective as the original statement of "it's completely worth it if for the magazine subscription alone."

Everyone defending GameStop is wrong. Everyone saying they suck is right, it really doesn't matter what your reason for saying they suck is, because they do. Period.

[font=helvetica, arial, 'liberation sans', sans-serif]

Is that an objective statement? Obviously some people (myself included) do believe a subscription to a gaming magazine is worth $15 or more. Can you get every bit of information on the internet well before it could be delivered to you in a magazine? Of course. I still enjoy flipping through a magazine away from my computer sometimes. Maybe you should have said "a print subscription to a gaming news magazine is not worth $15 to me".

Hi all. First comment I've posted. Love the site.


You make a lot of good points but...

[/size]You are a criminal[/color]
[/size]Uhhhh no. Don't want to trade in the game for what GS is offering? Don't. Nobody is forcing you. There are alternatives. As far as GS paying peanuts and selling for a LOT more. So What? Do you see how many copies of certain games they get stuck with? Supply and demand. If someone wants to open their own store and buy a used game for nine bucks then sell it for ten - go for it. See how long the doors stay open. I've worked in retail for over twenty years and the companies I worked for took the cost of the item and sold it at double or triple what the item costs. Bottom line they can charge what they want for the games in their store. If the price isn't competitive guess what? People will start buying somewhere else, like Best Buy or Amazon for example.[/color]
[/size]Best Buy is right around the corner[/color]
[/size]Yeah  last week I saw two games at Best Buy still at $49.99 that had been marked down to less than $20 at GS and Amazon a couple of months back. Magical. I do buy plenty of stuff from Best Buy, believe me.[/color]
[/size][/color]
[/size]I guess my main argument is this. The only thing that will improve GS will be other companies doing what they do better than they do it. If that happens and they improve their stores fast enough they'll survive. If not they won't. No crime just survival of the fittest. [/color]
