The new issue of Official Nintendo Magazine is on sale now and it will be accompanied by a new podcast later on today.
Neil is missing again as ONM Deputy Editor Steve Hogarty takes the chair as we discuss the big games in the new issue of the magazine.
You can hear whether Chris thinks Mario Party 9 is better than Mario Party 2, find out if Metal Gear Solid 3D is going to be a must-buy and learn more about The Last Story.
As ever, you can find the podcast on iTunes by clicking on this little link. All the other podcasts are on there too - there's well over 24 hours of Nintendo chat on there now so you can have a full day of us in your ears should you so desire.
Alternatively, if you're anti-Apple, here's the direct link to the MP3 (Right-click and Save As).
Can't wait!
This month I submitted a Reader Question and entered the competiton. I'm so excited to see if either are mentioned!
I'd like to congratulate Steve on his excellent mutinous usurper-ing of Neil position.
All hail Steve!
Hope you didn't have to kill Neil, mind....
Spoilers! You get a mention!
Hooray!
I'm definitely asking a reader question for the next podcast, then.
Define Gamecube "Classic"
A classic game.
That appeared on Gamecube.
Mario Sunshine, Smash Bros Melee or Wind Waker for the gc classic then
btw, when's it going to be up?
I assume Neil has been missing for three months because he's infiltrating Nintendo's secret HQ in order to bring back a copy of Killer Instinct Wii U for Gav. I'm right, aren't I?
Not that I don't love it when Steve takes the lead, but I hope Neil is back soon :'(
Looking forward - always a nice listen
I am so looking forward to this! I recently became a member of the ONM forum and have enoyed posting comments immensley. I also submitted a podcast question so I hope I get mentioned!
Also I just got the magazine today; absolutely love it, especially the ultra Japenese elements to it. It's one of the best issues i've seen and i've been reading ONM for many years.
Cheers!
Funny that the article has disappeared from the Homepage and the News page, yet this Article Comments topic remains.
So what happened to the podcast? I was on tenderhooks all night.
Steve told me yesterday via the power of twitter that there was a technical hitch or something, and as such the podcast shall be uploaded today xD
I always enjoy these podcasts... Looking forward to it. (:
Just to let all you guys know, it's up here
I hope this gets updated with pictures of the t-shirt designs. I really want to see that "I Choose You" design, and that amazing Lon Lon Milk one that I've heard so much about
Great podcast guys. It was well worth the wait.
Doing it now!
After a long week at work i am looking forward to relaxing with another awesome ONM podcast
Yay, my 3rd mention in the podcast. Just to let you ONM team guys know, I don't do subtle references
I have to agree with you though, I rea'ly shouldn't have included the box art on my t-shirt (the duck tales one). When I first made it I thought it looked quite good but now i've seen it again, I honestly don't like it.
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE ARE NOT EMO
ONM doesn't like the VA in Xenoblade...
*cancels subscription*
I still can't believe I got mentioned...T-thank you.
And great guess Gav; Majora is my faviroute.
Is it me, or does Gav have a really annoying voice?
- Sampy, from Yorkshire.
Oh hello there Marti
Gav has both a really annoying voice at times AND a really annoying attitude. From Ashley in - Actually, where abouts is Sc**thorpe?
While there are some differences Lon Lon t-shirt does seem to be rather a rip-off of this:

This.
You're in the dog house now, ONM.
=P
In all honesty, I checked to see if my design had already been done, and I did see a couple of t-shirts with Lon Lon Milk plastered on it, including the one you've just mentioned - but using my own judgement I felt that that the concept and design was different enough to submit - that's why I also sent in another design just in case.
For anyone interested, this is the Peppy design the guys were referring to: http://i41.tinypic.com/29yihh.jpg
I'd actually buy that Peppy shirt.
Another top podcast guys and thanks for reading my Last Story comment
The t-shirts are great the Warioware one in particular is really clever.
Well done MartinIsAwesome on winning the Podcast 31 competition
When i first saw the Lon Lon Milk T-shirt i did think it was similar to the t-shirt that has already been mentioned but as you say the design is different and it has a different message on it. Hope you have fun with Battalion Wars oh and of course lets play shops 
Can we get a bit in the magazine where Gav just insults readers who write in/things on the forums?
Didn't MCR start the Emo revolution? Doesn't that make them an emo band?
And having a track called "I'm not okay" really does make them sound like an emo band.
Oh, and they are utter crap.
Dammit Gav... Change your hat.. and your attitude
Now that game is a classic, shame i'm a cat song writer
Just entered the competition - I get a feeling that the next podcast's competition section might get a bit depressing...
