I have a question

[saif442050]

I just want to know what is more reliable EGM or Nintendo Power. In the next week or so both of the febuary editions will come out. I know that both are reliable sources for new information but i dont know which one is better. I dont want to get them both becuase i am short on money after buying brawl. Nintendo power has been coverning brawl for a while now but havent revealed any new info. EGM on the other hand is dedicating a special issue promising to give new inormation. I dont want to waste my money so i want to ask you guys what is the better maggazine, and is expected to give better information?

Also what has the more reliable review?

please guys tell me your opinion and i just want to say thanks in advance.

If any of them have any new info, it will most likely be scanned and posted on these boards anyway.

Well if your in for a good laugh go with EGM. Remember the April fool's joke they played? I wouldn't consider any info from EGM reliable...

Nintendo Power is probably more reliable since they are actually connected to NOA, but being reliable doesn't mean they'll give us the info we want to hear. It just means that if they do, they can be trusted.

NP probably would have more info than EGM because of the direct Nintendo connection.
Last time they said they had Brawl info, they just rehashed what was on the Dojo.

The main problem I have with NP is that I get the info too late.

The info they're writing about would be new at the time they were writing it but when I actually get the magazine, the info would be old already because I already found out through these boards or some other website.

But NP vs. EGM?
I'd say NP.

I don't know much about either magazine, but I'd have to say EGM might have the more reliable in terms of reviews since they are not biased. Obviously, people who work for Nintendo power are fanboys. xD

Emphasis on April Fool's for a February issue that got Sonic the Hedgehog in Brawl. HRM.


Hell, even Sheng Long might appear in Street Fighter IV thanks to EGM.

I love NP, so I can't say, really. And if it's new info, just ask smashboarders about it *cough* *gigasteve* *cough*.

Nintendo Power is the official Nintendo Magazine. I'd say you'd be best with NP.
