Whoa! Look at the new UK official Nintendo magazine cover!

Silent Hill 3 review? Anyway, that picture's from Emap (The NOM publisher) website, so it's genuine.

Hey Mario the link does not work, maybe you could repost link? If this news is offical then this game would be a great addition to the GameCube library.

An RPG better than Goldeneye? What sort of comparison is that?!

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #8 on:** June 28, 2003, 08:30:51 PM »

In the words of Rove McMannus......
"What The....?"

Silent Hill 3 REVIEW?
RPG that's better than Goldeneye?

Uh, maybe it's the slow reaction time of the Europeans, since April Fool's Day was months ago.
Or maybe this is

*GASP*

MEGATON?

Rove McMannus? Bah!

Mario, the link does not work. Still, I'm having a hard time believing that Silent Hill 3 would be ported to GameCube. This is Konami we are talking about here! This has not been reported on gaming sites (the ones I visit).

StRaNgE · « **Reply #10 on:** June 28, 2003, 10:54:36 PM »

i'd buy it for sure if it was.

PIAC · « **Reply #11 on:** June 28, 2003, 10:58:48 PM »

the link WAS working earlier, about the time mario showed me (6 hours ago)

Mario · « **Reply #12 on:** June 28, 2003, 11:19:01 PM »

Dont worry about the text, its just jibberish placeholder text. The picture however, is supposedly final. The link should be working, if its not then i edited my post *look up* with another link that works. Remember that this is from the official website of the magazine. It could be real, it could be fake though.

*shrugs shoulders*

Hybrid Hunter · « **Reply #13 on:** June 29, 2003, 02:11:52 AM »

Looks interesting, i hope its true.
Need confirmation from other sources too.

Kaj'oin · « **Reply #14 on:** June 29, 2003, 03:07:02 AM »

Fake
It must be, Slient hill 3 reviewed already no thanks! It ain't even been confirmed on Gamecube.
And the whole mag to me seems fake.I get NOM every month and they said a free gift would be included in julys issue but it would be a inflatable pokeball not what seems like to be the american demo disc that cost $10 and we get it for free, must be dreaming.
And at the top it says "we score the game of the year" referring to TLOZ:WW did'nt they do that 3 issues ago?

Mario · « **Reply #15 on:** June 29, 2003, 03:16:34 AM »

Dont pay attention to the text. Just the layout is final. And the picture. It will probably be "preview" instead of "review".

Im not totally convinced its real though. Id say theres a 50/50 chance.

bryanee · « **Reply #16 on:** June 29, 2003, 03:35:04 AM »

well ive seen the advert on kerrang music channel for this nom and u do get the demo disc as a freebie, unless kerrang are lyin

Gup · « **Reply #17 on:** June 29, 2003, 05:17:43 AM »

I think it's fake now

JB · « **Reply #18 on:** June 29, 2003, 06:36:12 AM »

I'm not sure what to think. On the one hand Hideo Kojima only recently said that there would be no SH3 on the GC. On the other hand this is confirmed to be next months cover for Nintendo OFFICIAL Magazine in the UK. The only thing I know is that I am definately getting this issue for the Viewtiful Joe demo alone.

RadioHeadRule · « **Reply #19 on:** June 29, 2003, 07:03:33 AM »

The original poster forgot or simply didn't have this information - its what linked subsribers to the info... btw I'm not a subscriber so I can't link any of you... ask someone else:

(from Emap / Nintendo Official Magazine publisher staff)
"If you're here, you should by now have seen both the next cover of NOM and the possible free demo disc that we're thinking of sticking on the cover. Go wild, let us know everything you think about the cover and the demo disc. If you want to say something else about the magazine, or just want to get something random off your chest, there's another vent box below."

They're asking for opinions on it right here:
http://www.emapmagazines.co.uk/NOM_panel_ima ges.shtml

They're showing that cover to subsribees as you can see. God knows why they'd torture with them with that image if it wasn't a hint... there are some naff stories on there that don't make sense though: "Super Mario Kart - why this is Mario's funniest outing ever" and "GBA Section: why this is Mario's funniest outing ever".... as well as "The RPG thats finally better than GoldenEye"... hmm.

That said: the stories could be placeholders simply there to represent the new look. As indicated by last months issue there is an image change happening over this and the next issue ("Stop Press. Nom is changing" - page 129, issue 130). I also found variants of the images at that link btw those images (below):

EMap.com About NOM page:

image 3:
http://www.emapmagazines.co.uk/img/nom/previ ewdisc.jpg

this issue supposedly goes on sale next Monday. The mock up cover seems like it could be a hint if theyre showing it to subscribees or whatever IMO... it could also be a cruel joke - I dunno. As for the demo disc? In last months issue an overwhelming 96% of the readership voted for one - I just pray we get it now... those who want it should go there and tell em what an awesome idea it is. I've also said I'd happily pay more to get my hands on it...

Hope this helps!

Remain immortal in Zelda? Open thew last door in Metroid? I didn't even know there WAS last door. If I lived in the UK I'd buy this mag, regardless of the whole Silent Hill 3 thing.

JB · « **Reply #21 on:** June 29, 2003, 10:25:57 AM »

The text on the cover seems to be placeholder text. Only the picture of SH3 and the logo are supposed to be final. I read that Edge magazine already reported rumours that SH3 was coming to the GameCube a while ago. Edge magazine were right about the GBASP too.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #22 on:** June 29, 2003, 10:44:40 AM »

Well then....

Judging entirely from the picture presented, I have to say that I seriously believe this news is fake. The text on the magazine is just too crappy to even be placeholder... RPG better than Goldeneye? That's just stupid.

Although, I will say this. I had planned to get Silent Hill 3 for PC, but if it is indeed coming to GameCube, I am getting the GCN version, and I encourage you guys to do so too, as it will show Konami that we still love them, even though they hate us.

It's really that simple.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #23 on:** June 29, 2003, 11:02:44 AM »

It is possible that Nintendo's contract with Konami included more than just a remake of Metal Gear Solid. If MGS:TS is indeed a turning point in Nintendo and Konami's relationship, Silent Hill 3 would be a logical port. I'm not saying this isall true, just to keep an open mind, which pretty much everyone is already doing. I'd love to see Silent Hill 3 on the Cube even though I own a PS2 because I really think it would help bring over more of Konami's fan base and improve Nintendo's image a bit.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #24 on:** June 29, 2003, 11:11:02 AM »

Mouse Clicker, Resident Evil on GameCube actually sold more than Silent Hill 2 on PS2 and Xbox combined. It would indeed be a logical game to port over. I am still very much uncertain whether it's coming or not, but I highly doubt that Konami could just spring it on us without anyone noticing. There's rumors floating around about everything being on every different system. I haven't heard a peep about Silent Hill before now.
