Introduction

June saw Nights take the cover, as they took a deep look at the forthcoming journey of dreams on Wii. They promised that it would change how developers would look at the Wii in the future. There was also the introduction of a feature where each of the team chose an upcoming game to look at. There was also more information on Mario Galaxy and Resident Evil 4 as well as Opoona and Project Treasure Island Z. In the news they looked at the newly announced Mario and Sonic at the Olympics, as well as new information about a brand new Zelda game for Wii.

There were a lot of mediocre games reviewed in this issue. The Japanese version of Front Mission 1st managed only 80% on the DS, and that was as good as it got. Prince of Persia: Rival Swords on Wii should have been the big game, however it only scored 67%, with the Mark saying it was almost the exact same as the Gamecube game, and suffered from a dire motion control scheme.

A feature this issue looked at the developers working with Nintendo to produce their games, such as Camelot for the Mario sports games, and Retro Studios for the Metroid Prime trilogy. 

Over in World of Nintendo the team put together what they would like from a Wii version of Animal Crossing, as well as some of the non-games available on DS and looked at some of the rarest and most expensive Nintendo software and hardware available. Page 89 also made its first appearance, showcasing some random elements of games. This month was simply some cheats for some of the Wii games available.

In Download, the history lesson looked at the Neo-Geo, showcasing some of the best games made for the console and those that they wanted to make an appearance on Virtual Console. They also had the first part of a guide of how to make an arcade stick, looking at all the bits of DT you would need to to build the structure of the stick. There was also the latest Virtual Console news, including rumours that Saturn games would make an appearance at some point.
