This is to good to be true, and I think it is. Can I see a scan?
Id love to, but sadly can't. I'm not trying to josh anyone. It's in Vol. 221 on page 112. Of course, if anyone adds a scan I'll put it on the first post, and give ccredit too.

I believe you, but I don't read Nintendo Power and I like proof when someone is claiming something.

Edit: I agree with you IlliDr, that sounds a lot like something NP would do.

Oh God, they used the word "havoc".

Overzealous fans to start dissecting and overanalyzing in 3....2....

I hope this is real, and I actually think it is. Good stuff!

Though, a scan would be awesome. Does anyone have one?

I subscribe to NP, but haven't gotten that issue yet....but if the issue you're talking about is the November issue, then it'll be the December issue that ends up talking about Brawl...

...by then the game could already be out.

When did you get Vol. 221?

I don't know how magazine hands-on demos work, and I could be completely wrong but, this proves that Nintendo has/distributes a demo ready for use.

well, it's typical for magazines to ship months before the month written on the cover. so the November issue could very well be already out.

anyway, last months issue had Mario Galaxy on the cover, i believe.

Yeah alot of magazines, including NP, are written 2 months in advance. So I wouldn't honestly expect anything great.

Yea, I knew that, but I just didn't know if the November issue had already come out....

Anywho, I look forward to reading it.

Issues #222 and Beyond

On September 19th, 2007, Nintendo officially announced that acclaimed magazine publisher Future US would begin publishing Nintendo Power. Their first official issue would be released in October as issue #222 (December 2007). It was also revealed that circulation would be increased to 13 issues a year, with the extra magazine being a holiday season bonus issue.

At this time it is uncertain how these announcements will affect future issues in terms of staff and articles.

Does this help anyone?

**** YOU YANKS! Lol.

Anyway, I hope they give new screens and new info. It would be nice to not get cheap low-res copies from the Dojo, like I get in UK mags.

LOL.... I hope I can go to E for All, and it isn't during school [skull....otherwise I'll ditch >_<]. Seriously, if there is any Brawl thing, I AM GOING! Gotta go....especially playable demos. I'm hoping this is true, and hopefully we'll see it as a playable demo for the public at D for All! :) And if I actually do go to E for All, and there is a playable Brawl demo, I'll be sure to tell you all how it was, and how it felt. And how bad I pwned myself some n00b arse! :)

I think it's likely that we'll get something new from NP. If not new characters, at least new screen shots or something.

I used to get NP way back when I was in the 6th grade. I remember NP used to be famous for showing character selection screens for the first time. They showed the Diddy Kong Racing character select screen for the first time. They showed it with just the starting characters, and in a later issue they showed the character select screen with the hidden characters unlocked. They did that with a few other games too.

I could see them possibly showing the Brawl character select screen, without the hidden characters unlocked. Of course, that doesn't mean that we'll see any new characters, because we may see all the starting characters on the dojo site before this issue comes out, if we haven't seen them all already.

Someone probably said it already, but I don't feel like reading through every single post, when does this issue of NP come out?

Awe, and the P.X. just stopped shipping Nintendo Power. It's the only store that sells American anything.

Oh well anything announced will be leaked on this site so whatever.

Oh, that's good. Thought it would be coming soon (and I would be really miffed if I was at a FBLA conference)

Ahh... my subscription just ran out.
Once the new issue comes out, if someone could keep me and other non-subscribers updated, that would be great. :)
