N64 was amazing because instead of making a Nintendo mag for kids like everyone else was doing. They took the high road and made an intelligent magazine. I wish I remember one of the early issue replies to "Should I smash my playstation" because one of the kiddie Nintendo mags (The official one) was doing a feature where if you smashed your other console with a hammer and sent the evidence, they would send a new N64 to you.

N64's reply was "Console wars are for children on the playground and we're calling the police on you just in case". You don't get that sort of making fun of the readers nowadays but also including them in the joke (And most of the sites are inept as fuck at it)

Also Dr. Kitts was an actual qualified doctor in Plant Biology who would get annoyed if you ever called him Doctor. Hence why they did it all the time (Also he had a super morbid sense of humour so they constantly made jokes about him "Hiding the bodies)

Also one of the editors sicced' Stuart Campbell on Nintendo Europe when they got an interview with them. His first question was literally "Why do you hate Europe so much?". You can read the carnage here.

Its OK. Just lacks that real cynical edge Amiga Power had. Reads more like official Nintendo Magazine when it was good and before the neutering order came from Nintendo around the time ONM started campaigns to get FF3, Mario RPG and Earthbound released in Europe. Nintendo were reportedly pissed.
