It's a good issue too. Apparently. Haven't seen the final product yet.

That looks pretty much like something I did when I thought I could draw using FreeHand although I couldn't draw shit with a pen. Based on that experience, I made a different career choice than this artist.
It's hard to quantify, but a bad artist knows another when he sees one.

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
Great cover! Never see this imported in the states, though.

I *think* it's because of the official standing. Since it's a Nintendo licensed product it has to stay in the region it's intended for. Shit if I actually know, though. Too bad, because it's really fun to write for.Musashi Wins! said:

Tidbits from this Issue:
Yuji Naka Interview:
He says new Sonic for Gamecube will be playable at this years E3 and released this year.
He also mentions Sonic for Nintendo DS. It IS related to the early "rubbing" tech demo, but that's not the game in itself. He's being very careful with it, so it could be a while before it comes out.
He is once again asked about Nights and some other game. He says they are his much loved games. They will not be outsourced, they will be done in house if they are ever done. He said they would have to be very careful if they created new games, to make sure they were good.
Comments on the co-development of Feel the Magic with UGA. Nintendo approached SEGA to create something for a new audience -- which is why the dating theme was eventually chosen.
PSO will return again. He wants to keep it going. Nothing new in the immediate pipeline.
They ask him if he'd change anything about Nintendo DS. His response is that the GBA port isn't needed. He said it would be much more slimline if it wasn't there.
He comments on Sonic Vs Mario dream games. He and Miyamoto often talk about it. Uses Sonic appearing in Mario Kart as an example, and says that Sonic wouldn't need a kart. Clashes like that often lead them to leave it alone. He says it would be very easy to put Sonic as a cameo in a Mario game or vice versa, but that he'd rather do a game dedicated to both - like Mario Vs Sonic.
Any past animosities with Nintendo? He's very close to Miyamoto and speaks to him regularly. Loves working with Nintendo. As a former hardware maker, SEGA understands what Nintendo do and what they go through.
150 greatest titles (on Nintendo systems obviously):
It was voted for by readers so I disagreed with how low some classic games were, but its understandable. Ocarina of Time predictably takes top spot. The page dedicated to it has some quotes that readers sent in with their votes -- there's some really funny ones about shedding tears, being the highlight of their entire lives etc. Brilliant stuff.
Overall its a good issue. There was a page with a lot of old cover images to look at, and I remembered quite a lot. I'm still reading the rest.

Guys, all the buildings in the background are Nintendo systems...
fucking christ. john allison!!!! he is the best artist producing artistry on le web right now. someone needs to sign him up for a game. he draws very very pretty girls and boys. and it would solve all of european games' persistent BAD ART problems as well.
if you do not like him you can die and i will laugh.

correct!
after extensive research I have determined people who do not like scary go-round will find suicide to be their "best bet."

Notice Samus' Metroid Balloon :lol
Jesus is that ever dreadful. Has Dween gone blind? That looks like it was drawn by a 12 year old in Flash.
I shall berate him on the l***m** forums later today.

You mean the one that looked like Luigi was anally raping Mario?
