Beeks' Place! Beeks' Place!

Volume 93 of Nintendo Power Magazine charted Donkey Kong Country 3 as the #1 SNES game in the month of February, with Tetris Attack at #2 and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past as #3. #3??!! I guess after 60 weeks of switching between the #1 and #2 spot on the chart it's OK to slip down to #3, but I don't think Tetris Attack is better than Zelda!
Other fun things to note: Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy III were listed as the #6 and #7 SNES games of the month, respectively. Do you think they're ever going to put Chrono Trigger on the DS?

Yesterday was Christmas all over again! For nearly 3 months I've been waiting anxiously by the mailbox for my free Nintendo Wii keychain--all compliments of Nintendo Power magazine for renewing my subscription for the 10th time! So, not only am I covered another year in Nintendo Power entertainment, I am officially the coolest driver in the Harvey County area--who else's keys get to snuggle up against a mini Wiimote every day? AND, if you push the 1 button, a soothing blue light shines forth from the top! It's like having that neat message-alert glow whenver I want, wherever I want! (In addition, the blue light also serves as a great lint and dust detector in dark areas!)

I must confess, I am a sucker for the free subscriber gifts Nintendo Power consistently offers. In the past, I've received Player's Guides, soundtracks, video game bundles, and even a blue Nintendo sports watch! (and whatever happened to it? I think I need to loot my attic!) At present, the Nintendo Online store is offering all kinds of goodies with a one year subscription--usually a T-shirt or a Player's Guide, all for $19.95. Personally, I've always thought it was a pretty nice deal! PG's are usually around $11-15 anyway, so throw in a year's worth of magazines and it's $20 well spent! Now, nothing can beat the $4.69 deal as reported at House of Nintendo, but if you're looking for a certain Player's Guide anyway, think about subscribing!
