My Letter to Nintendo Power

He left without me?

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.

I've gotten published by Nintendo Power before. They re-write almost the entire letter, taking out a large portion and even adding some of their own words to it. They want to get the point across in the smallest amount of space.

I think they published mine once... but it didn't look like it at all and they even changed my name into something completely different.

Which issue/letter?

Eek. Umm... try like April 2000, letter about DigiPen.

Not sure on the issue, and don't have my Nintendo Power magazines to search. Find a letter by Brian Ehlert via Internet.
