Official Nintendo Magazine, or ONM, is the UK's official Nintendo magazine, and is published by Future Publishing^{(OCLC 46390444)}. It currently goes on sale monthly and retails at £3.99. It is considered to be the British equivalent to the American official Nintendo magazine Nintendo Power. Issue 1 was released on 16 February 2006, after much speculation due to a change over from previous publisher EMAP.^{(OCLC 52080622)} The magazine is the oldest running games magazine in the UK, and when launched was called Nintendo Magazine System, reflecting the NES, which was hugely popular back in the early '90s. This name would later be dropped to reflect Nintendo's move away from the NES and SNES naming system toward the N64 console. Image File history File links Question_book-3. ...

"Welcome" - This page welcomes the reader and is also home to all the contact information for ONM. The page is also home to an A-Z of the games reviewed or previewed in the particular issue, and has a brief summary of the four ONM editors.

"Contents Page" - This page is home to displaying what is in the magazine.

"Global" - This section is home to "breaking news from the world of Nintendo". The section houses the following sub-sections, as well as a main feature possibly about the latest console or a piece of breaking news. However, this section of the magazine does not seem to run the same features every issue, and not in the same order, so here is a breakdown of what may be included within "Global".

• Hot or Not - a small section displaying 'what's hot and what's not' from recent news and game releases. Designed as a vertical section on the side of a page, a disappointing game (ie Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble - Issue 1), for example, would be near the bottom 'Not' bit of the section, whilst some exciting new hardware (ie Nintendo DS Lite - Issue 1) would feature near the top 'Hot' bit of it.

• Cover Gift - a small space devoted to showing off the issue's free cover gifts.

• Tokyo Fever - Similar to the old NOM's section, "Big in Japan", Tokyo Fever is a monthly column written by Yoshi Abe. It focuses on the latest crazes in gaming from Japan.

• Developer News - The latest news of developments inside game developers. In Issue 1, for example, this was a piece on the Namco and Bandai merge which created Namco Bandai Holdings.

• This month from ONM - A summery of events regarding the ONM staff in graph form.

• Born in the USA - A column written by Bradley Sullivan about the latest crazes and game releases in the USA.

• Update - Various updates in terms of game and hardware development, and even perhaps a spotlight on a new TV show (as seen in Issue 2, where a 'TV Update' detailed the showing of Monster Warriors on the British channel Jetix). This is split throughout the 'Global' section.

• Competition - A monthly competition is usually held here.

• Video Vault - A column of information at the side of the page relating to ONM's video vault.

• Game Announcement - Recent game announcements. Issue 1 featured Super Monkey Ball Adventure.

• If You Play One Game Today, Then Play... - This section highlights games that are simply unmissable. Issue 1 featured Battalion Wars, while Issue 2 featured Mario Kart DS.

• Official Release Dates - A list of game release dates.

• Official Sales Charts - A page devoted to displaying the top ten games for each of Nintendo's current platforms within the UK.

• The Next Best Game In The World Is... - A look into the future on what ONM predicts will be the new craze. A '10 Second Guide' summarizes what makes the game so great.

• X Things You Didn't Know About... - Taking over from "Rules of the Game", this feature highlights some facts about a certain character. Issue 8, its debut issue, featured seven facts about Sonic the Hedgehog. Sometimes this feature is replaced with a top five list on a particular theme. For example, Issue 28 featured "Top 5 Nintendo sequels we want on Wii".

• X Days Until - A highlight of an event that will take place 'X' days after the issue's publication. For example, in Issue 7, there were "50 Days Until" the Tokyo Game Show.

• 60 Second Quiz - A quiz consisting of six questions which is to supposedly take readers a minute to complete. The answers to the question are shown below, but are vertically inverted (and thus a mirror is needed to read them).

"Behind the Scenes" - The team talk to important game developers, and find out some hidden secrets that developers have been slightly silent about.

"Previews" - Previews are split up into two sections:

• "Incoming" - This section features quite far-off games. Although small magazine space may be given, it features all the important information needed, such as the publisher, developer, possible release date and format, and in the case of Wi-Fi compatible games, displays the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection symbol, telling you it contains such a feature. A pixelated symbol shows you what genre the game is.

• "Coming Soon" - This section contains games which are closer to being released than those in 'Incoming', and thus receive more magazine space. A 'Game Info' box contains information on the format, publisher, developer, and whether or not the game contains a multiplayer option. At the beginning of the preview, a rough release date (ETA) is given, and the highlighted image from a row of monochrome pixel images gives you the games genre. A game may be selected from the games in this section for a 'Coming Soon Feature' article, in which it receives more magazine space.

A 'How's It Shaping Up?' box summarizes the editor's views on the previewed game. The Smash Bros. Dojo is also now hosted in the Coming Soon section

"Feature" - Perhaps the main core of the magazine, the feature may or may not be the cover story and may take up a substantial amount of magazine space, possibly up to 12 pages long. There may be multiple 'Features' within one issue.

Subscribe! - The pages where ONM advertise how to subscribe to their magazine. Subscribers get an exclusive free gift. Since Issue 21, ONM have included free games in their offers.

"Reviews" - The latest games are reviewed here. A box at the beginning of each reviews heralds such information as the game's publisher, format, developer, release date, price and whether or not it has multiplayer or is Wi-Fi enabled. At the end of the review a series of bullet points summarise the good and bad parts of the game (using + and - symbols respectively instead of Mario and Wario heads as in NOM), and the game receives a percentage. Games that reach over 90% receive an ONM gold award, which can be used to advertise games if the developers wish to. Once again pixelated images are used to highlight the game's genre. Subscription information is usually found right before the "Reviews" portion of the magazine.

ONM on Tour - In this section news is brought to you, normally from games conventions from around the world, but also sometimes the reader gets to find out what gaming is like in that month's selected country. In some Issues though (Like Issue 28) this section was left out.

"Game Guide" - This section is host to a number of game guides, featuring hints and tips for the featured games. Issue 1 featured the first parts of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Mario Kart DS, Mario Smash Football and Battalion Wars guides. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is the direct sequel to Metroid Prime, and is the latest game in Nintendos Metroid series to appear on the GameCube. ... Super Mario Strikers (Mario Smash Football in Europe and Australia) is a soccer video game released exclusively for Nintendos GameCube console. ...

"Directory" - Essentially ending the magazine, this section features:

• Letters to the Editor (company information is featured here also). The best letter received by the ONM team is highlighted as the "Letter of the Month". In the letters section, there is also a section called "Txt the Editor" and a section called "In a Word", where letters are given 1 word answers. In addition to this, there is a section called "Ask Nintendo", in which letters asking about possible games, or new Wii channels, for example.

• A section devoted to the 'Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection' service, which features news on such a service as well as how to get on to it, and which games feature it.

• A 'Website' section, which details what has been occurring on ONM's website. It displays replies to the month's "Hot Topics", threads created by the ONM team for discussion on recent news, shows results of various polls (some of which may have nothing to do with gaming, such as the 'Is it one Weetabix, or one Weetabic?' poll in issue two), and stats about the forum such as the most popular thread at the time of printing. The section also highlights the "Member of the Month", the "Sig of the Month, and plays host to the very popular "Cover Versions", where the best user-created covers, submitted via the forum, are displayed. Starting in Issue 10, the best of these is now displayed as "Cover of the Month" also. Starting in Issue 9, the section also prints the month's password for the Video Vault, and highlights the newest videos released.

• A 'Download' section, showing the newest games available for download Wii's Virtual Console service. It was introduced in Issue 11, taking over from the discontinued Retro section.

• A 'Retro' section which takes a 'look at the past that made Nintendo great today'. The feature ended in Issue 10 but started once again in Issue 17. Each month the magazine highlights the history of a specific game series.

• 'Swag' - a competitions page, featuring word-searches and other simple games as well as a reverse-auction (where the lowest unique bid wins) via texts. This was later merged with the 'Challenges' section and the puzzles separated into a separate 'Game Over!' Section.

• A 'Challenges' section featuring leaderboards. Which later included the 'Swag' Section.

• 'Rated ______' - This sections features an alphabetically listed list of the top 50 games on the current Nintendo systems, as well as a 'Settling Scores' section where readers can voice their views on the scores given.

"The A-Z of Nintendo" - A section on the last page featuring game-related names beginning with a letter in the alphabet. The page also features a small box in the bottom right-hand corner summarizing the next issue's contents. It has been replaced, after ending with Z, with a puzzles page (See below). A signature block (often abbreviated as signature, sig block, sig file, or just sig) is a block of text automatically appended at the bottom of an e-mail message, Usenet article, or forum post. ... The Wii (pronounced as the pronoun we, IPA: ) is the fifth home video game console released by Nintendo. ... A logo from Nintendos Virtual Console website Virtual Console, sometimes abbreviated as VC, is a video game download service that is currently offered by Nintendo for its Wii gaming console. ...

"Gameover!" - A section on the last page featuring game related puzzles such as crosswords and anagrams. This took over from the puzzle section of 'Swag'.

Website

Although there was a NOM website (hosted on the CVG website, with a successful forum)^{[citation needed]}, the change to ONM brought with it a much bigger, and much more updated, website. Currently, located here, it not only highlights the latest issue, but also posts current news and reviews of games, as well as boasting a rather successful forum (with over 1 million posts).^[5] This marks an expansion compared to previous web sites for the magazine, which offered only summaries of the current issue and a subscription management service.

Set up around the time of Issue 8, the website also includes a feature called the Video Vault, featuring videos of upcoming games specifically for readers of the magazine. Originally hosted on a MySpace account it is now hosted as part of the website so that readers without a MySpace account can view the videos. The Video Vault operated on a password basis: in order to access the videos, users needed to enter a password printed in a specific section of the magazine. Such a password changed each month, but from Issue 22, the password system was no longer used. MySpace is a social networking website offering an interactive, user-submitted network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music, and videos. ...

Starting with the publication of Issue 16, the website includes a 16 page electronic preview of the magazine's newest issue on its home page. A new site was launched on 17th January 2008 and had new features such as a blog. The forums also changed to a CVG-style board, much like those of fellow publications Official Xbox Magazine and NGamer. Official Xbox Magazine is a monthly video game magazine which started in November 2001 around the launch time of the original Xbox. ... NGamer Magazine is a British magazine specialising in Nintendo created consoles; the first issue was released on July 13, 2006. ...
