The world officially cannot get any stupider.

NOTE: Nintendo Power is a video games magazine, so I thought that this belonged here.

I would first like to congratulate every moron in the world who made this possible. The following is a transcript from the latest issue of Nintendo Power magazine.

DO THE MATH
I am so excited for The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess! It looks totally awesome. I have a question, though. Why is Nintendo only releasing the game on the PS3?
I won't even waste my time pointing out everything that's wrong with that.

Wait. Is this a written-in article?

Please tell me it was a letter that was sent to NP.

[Bob the Mercenary]

Meh, just looks like a mild brainfart to me.

Yes, it was. Thank god. You might also enjoy this.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
I can't believe how much time your wasting in that useless magazine!!!! you're np crew is the most retarted writers in history! you're company and CRAPPIE writers are so poor, you can't even put a fan art page! that's ridiculous!!! your reviews are stupid you're not real gamers at all, who the hell like pokemon??!!?!? [Note from Sword-Chucks, yo!: What was the question?] tiy;re writers suck!!! your magazine that isn't funny i'm unsubscribing.

Copied exactly as shown in magazine. The note from me was not in the magazine.
I especially like the following, however.

RETURN TO SENDER
About seven months ago, I sent out my most-trusted carrier pidgeon with some mail for you guys. Did you ever get it?
NP responded:
Yes, and it was delicious. Thank You.

I love NP Mag, because they is the funny. They often write some of the letters that they get for comedy's sake, but some are really real.

Too bad I can't afford to reknew my subscription....WAAH! I'm broke!

I liked NP for a while, but after a bit I really couldn't stomach them. They've got an incredible bias, and all of their ratings are jacked up "Because they're on Nintendo."

Their humor doesn't stick well with me, at least compared to GamePro, with the cartoon avatars.

Same with me. They'll get a chuckle from me from time to time, but I go to EGM for the funny.

Dude, as an oldschool reader of NP magazine I can truly say they've fallen horribly far from the glory they once had in the early to mid 90s. Read a Game Informer and then read NP. You'll see how desparetely pathetic NP is trying to be like GI.

Old NP magazines also had comics in them.
Anybody remember the long running Samus comic? Mario Brothers comic where it first introduces Wario and how their rivalry stems from an incident where they were both babies? That silly comic with the red haired dude who was also a guest character in Pilotwings 64? Lester the Unlikely?

Those were the golden days.

What about that kid who kept getting dropped into various games? I think one was Ninja Gaiden.

I must say, I prefer Ziff-David publications. Gamepro always seemed to talk down to it's audience (c'mon, that avatars aren't really that cool).

I have a subscription to Game Informer b/c of Gamestop, and it's alright. Got the scoop on Red Steel (probably because it's associated with a retail outlet). I also used to get the one that EBgames put out. Too bad they stopped that one.

Please, do not ever mention Captain-N. It was a not-short-enough lived comic book for a while, too.

[The Wandering God]

Okay, but what about the Starfox one? As far as I can remember, it actually was quite good.

Needed more urgings to barrel roll though XD

you know, Brian could sell his stuff to nintendo as a comic. He'd make hundreds...if a penny. But seriously, 8-bit does seem like something that NP could use to make it better.

Casting pearls before swine, man. Pearls before swine.

I remember Mario, Zelda, and Metroid comics from back in the pre-Super Metroid days. I don't remember Lester, but I do remember Nester. But going back even further, he was part of a duo called Howard and Nester. This was back before the Super Nintendo existed.

In closing, I am old.

I'm one of them young'uns(what with my first console being an N64), but I honestly am not impressed with Nintendo Power these days. They are trying way too hard to be like other magazines(EGM comes to mind), their humor is often at an "8th grader who thinks Chuck Norris jokes are and still will be the damned funniest thing on the face of the earth" level, and they got rid of most of their best features and mainstays, such as Epic Center(though after they spent 2 whole issues for Baten Kaitos cards, as opposed to giving us actual RPG news, I was getting less impressed.) One move I do applaud, however, is the changing of the review scale from the star system to a point system.

Agreed. Heck, the only reason that I kept my subscription going was because they kept bribing me with stuff like T-shirts.
