Cube-Europe recently posted a story covering the recent update to the EMAP site, publishers of Nintendo Official Magazine, which got people talking all about the next issue of Nintendo Official Magazine.

The site stated that the magazine will come with a demo disc. Also, the magazine cover on the EMAP website interestingly showed a picture of Silent Hill 3, which is supposed to be a PS2 exclusive.

This news caused quite a stirr on the internet. To bring order to chaos Tim Street, editor of NOM, contacted Cube-Europe to explain it all. Read on for his reply:

Blimey guys,

We've certainly got you all talking about Nintendo Official Magazine.

You're right to say we are changing in a couple of issues, but the cover that you've all seen is just a mock-up and nothing like the real thing.

As for a NOM demo disc we know it's what everyone wants. As many of you have concluded, the US image was attached to see how much readers would pay for one. There are no firm plans yet but you will be the first to know when it happens.

As for the prize draw, it's already taken place from all the emails received and Andy from Sheffield has already received his chosen prize - a copy of Burnout 2. Thanks to everyone who replied to the survey on-line, it's given the NOM team great feedback to make the new mag the best it's ever been.

We know Silent Hill's not coming to GameCube, we just wanted to have some fun thinking of games that we'd like to see on Nintendo and how much better GameCube could make them.

So come on all you Cube-Europe members, we want to know what games on other consoles would be better on GameCube and why. Just send them direct to me at [email protected] and we may use them in a future issue of NOM.

Take it easy guys.

Tim

There you go. There will not be no demo disc included with NOM as of yet and Silent Hill 3 will definitely not be released for the GameCube. We hope that we didn't break to many hearts by bringing you this news. Rest assured though, because Tim told us that the relaunch issue will be loads better than the mock-up! Tim signing out (no! me, not him).
