Mario Party 9 isn't the only big review in the new issue of Official Nintendo Magazine. Our review section is headed by The Last Story, the new RPG from the creator of Final Fantasy. Will it be as good as Xenoblade Chronicles? Find out in the mag...
It's joined by Tekken 3D: Prime Edition, the third big beat 'em up to hit 3DS after Street Fighter IV 3DS and Dead Or Alive Dimensions.

I was dead pleased that Cing was featured. I loved both the Another Code games and the two Kyle Hyde mysteries - it's such a shame that the developer went under.
i loved your article on the 10 wierdest games on nintendo consoles
has anyone else not received their issue from subscription yet? first time it hasn't arrived early for me
Cool beans, and just before I go on holiday to Finland, perfect for the flight over
Nice a new ONM issue brightens up my day
I can never get it on release day (my newsagent doesn't take in stock until Fridays) but I've been really looking forward to the Last Story review. I also assume you included that preview of MH3G like you said you would (from what I've heard, a localisation is in the works).
Can't Wait. hopefully a 3DS version will follow and continue this sort of trend. throwing in a classic mode wouldn't hurt either.
I m going to get the new official NINTENDO magazine from Tesco today .
The Last Story, one the most awesome looking Wii games ever is reviewed in this issue, but surpries, surpries, it's the Mario party game that gets featured on the front cover just because it's Mario.
But you gotta admit it is the best mario party in awhile
Love the top pokemon section lucario ftw
Maybe I'm being a bit too harsh, but I would have loved a cool Last Story cover.
P.S. I thought that this issue's Final Countdown page was hilarious.
i love mario
I LOVE THE DOUBLE SIDED MARIO KART 7 AND ZELDA POSTER!!! PERFECT FOR MY ROOM
ME 2
Is there a preview of Tri G in this?
Really boring magazine. I'm sorry but the entire thing felt like it was just revisiting old games. Tossed it straight in the bin.
