Here’s one for all you Brits. I was tempted into buying the latest issue of the Official Nintendo Magazine UK, as despite being a generally overly generous magazine (especially for Nintendo properties…) its free poster set, with Spirit Tracks, Sonic, Professor Layton and many more, and the SEGA sticker set with a Ryo Hazuki avec motorbike was too much to ignore.
Upon opening it when I got home, dreading that the posters I wanted would be on opposite sides, I was meeted with a very pleasant surprise. One, the posters I wanted weren’t on opposite sides. Two, the Spirit Tracks poster was full-size!
Yes, while the majority of posters were a regular freebie-size, A3, the Spirit Tracks poster (featuring the pretty European cover art, with a New Super Mario Bros Wii poster on the reverse), was A2! That’s eight A4 pages, for those who don’t know their paper converion ratios. Granted, there are folds on it, as they had to package it with an A4 magazine, and for some reason the Spirit Tracks logo is quite pixellated, but that aside, it’s bound to look good on any wall!
Official Nintendo Magazine have been known for their great free gifts (often Zelda-themed), but this is one that I felt the Zelda fans should know about. It beats last month’s magnetic Spirit Tracks-themed photo frame, for sure!
