My Letter to Nintendo Power

Canyarion · 07-16-2004, 05:39 PM

The letters that I read in today's magazine disgust[NO 's'] me.

I want to be portrayed intelligently [you might want to rephrase that, it took some time before I understood]

and totally discredit anything that the writ[NO 't']er has written. [writer and written in 1 sentence isn't pretty... perhaps 'writer has composed'?]

and writes to Nintendo Power: [no capital 'T'?]ake time when you write your letters.

you have managed to lose so easily. ['so easily' after 'to lose'?]

About you opinion:

but letting somebody else proofread it for you might be a bit to much... you could say 'and perhaps have someone else read it before you submit it.'

Yeah, Nintendo Power pisses me off. It's just not a good magazine anymore. All the letters are from little kids and the sections that give you game previews are less text and more pictures.

Nintendo Power used to cater to a larger audience but now seems only to aim at the 5-11 year old demographic. It disgusts me.

I love OPM (official playstation magazine) though. It's aimed at teenagers and adults. It's a good magazine. Although it used to be a lot longer (averaging from 150-180 pages long) it now is almost always just above 120 pages. Also, there are a lot more ads than there used to be.

All the posters lately have been lame. Stupid Licencing crap. Give me Nintendo posters, not multi-platform game posters. Like, I just got Spiderman 2. I would have much preferred a Four Swords poster. Or a Tales of Symphonia poster. These are all going up on my wall; I want posters of games I like. And everyone likes.

I also agree with your opinion. The brackets are stupid.

I still enjoy it as a magazine though.

I totally agree with that letter, but there is no way NP would ever put a letter than inteligent, and well written, in their magazine.
