Nintendo Power promises the moon

by Eric Caoili on Apr 30th 2008 12:00PM

As it does every month, Nintendo Power closed its latest issue with a preview of the next installment, guaranteeing updates on Sonic Chronicles, Time Hollow, and Ghostbusters. The magazine's writers also hinted at "a surprise or two," suggesting readers study the Moon image above for hidden clues.

Our eyes must be suffering from spring allergies, as we haven't picked up any clues after hours of staring at the page. Will it be a preview of Renegade Kid's Moon? Perhaps another entry for the Harvest Moon series? Or maybe Nintendo Power just wants our attention on the white satellite before it pulling off its grandest, most villainous stratagem yet -- carving its name into the Moon with a laser cannon.

Give us your best guesses!

My money's on both the Wii And DS Castlevania'a being unveiled next month.

The moon will soon say "CHA"

I'm so glad I get the Tick reference...

Final Fantasy IV. Where you visit the mooooooooooooon.

This. Exclusive review confirmed.

Hang on, the next article on DSFanboy covers "Disgaea: Prince of the Demon World and the Red Moon"

Red moooooooon!

*Looks at article directly below this one*

... yeah, I'll go with something to do with Disgaea: Prince of the Demon World and the "Red Moon".

New Metroid. Samus' ship is parked on the upper left side of the moon.

I think I see an IGN watermark!

I think it is just something they want you to think hard about, when simply it is just referring to Renegade Kid's Moon.

Something Mother/Earthbound-related is my guess.

I predict a Wii sequel to Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, controlled by the balance board. It WILL happen.

AND IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME.

"THATS NO MOON ITS A"...please be Earth Bound...please.

Pok�mon.

On the MOON.

hold the phone, that's the dark side of the moon...

Earthbound.

Pok�moon

Death Star Simulator...see the cannon and the trench?

Sailor Moon

Majora's Mask on the VC, maybe?

I was about to jokingly suggest a DS remake BUT THIS IS 1000% MORE LIKELY!

Hoping for Earthbound of Majora's Mask. Will settle for Castlevania. DO NOT CARE ABOUT DISGAEA.

Only cuz I'm terrible at strategy games, though.

After comparing it to other pics of the moon, the only difference I can see is the colour. Any ideas what a blood moon could hint at? Until I can think of something better I'm going to just go with Renegade Kids' Moon. Well, that or perhaps something werewolvish:)

http://prisoner889.blogspot.com

My guesses (nothing original, in order of the most likely):

Disgaea;
The new game from Dementium guys;
Castlevania
Earthbound (just wishful thinking)

There is a game in development, by the same people who made dementium : the ward.. its called moon.. u shud check it out, it looks awesome

Well considering that's a "harvest moon".... One of those games haven't come out in over a month, it's about time for another one to be announced.

HALO MOON.

Yup.

-i was just thinking they were going to cover that game Moon by Renegade Kid.

-little too obvious though...

I see a helmet that looks vaguely familar, but can't place it. So I'm guessing Alien v. Preditor.

harvest moon's have a redish tint. so im guessing nintendo power is referring to harvest moon.

http://www.nightskyevents.com/harvestmoon_091003.jpg

these moons look pretty similar to me

I'm going to say it's the Death Star. The laser cannon, trench, the fact that Luke Skywalker mistakened the Death Star as a "small moon" from a distance in Episode IV, and the fact Force Unleased is coming out on the Wii, I'm guessing they're talking about that game, Force Unleased.

Wow. Twice I misspelled "Unleashed". Go me.

If you look closely at the middle you could see a picture of a few people who dont appear to resembe earthbound, castelvania, harvest moon or metroid. I cant figure out who they are but one resembles link

http://www.rpgamer.com/games/zelda/zeldamm/propaganda/zeldamaj-nov1.jpg
wow. it�s the same picture of the moon:
http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h316/Aielyn/hidmoon_match.jpg

Its Earthbound for VC.

NP said look IN the moon for clues. I don't think the moon itself is a clue (though it might be). But look at this: http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/snively/hidmoon.jpg
In the bottom quarter, in the middle, there's the letter "P". To the left of it it looks like some sort of face and two more letters, it looks like DR. hmm.

Mother/Earthbound in US

Maybe Majora for DS or Majora/Ocinara Wii.

See if you can follow me here. Moon... lunar... Lunar Knights 2!

A man can dream...

It is not harvest moon FOR SURE! It is going to be a newly announced game or a vc game. I think Majoras Mask vc, cause if u invert the colors, it looks like the evil moon thingy.
http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn160/LedMetallica/moonguess.jpg

Also, u can see dry bones at the middlish-rightish part of the moon.
The NP moon, though, is different from the actual moon. There r little things added in if u look closly.

It looks like there's a 2 in the middle, but that's probably nothing (Earthboung 2 cough?).
But I'm just sticking with a new Harvest Moon, because that is the colour of the harvest moon.

It's a harvest moon, and says see you in 30.
TURN TO PAGE 30!!!

It's pokemon, if you look closely you can see the pokeballs spread out throughout the moon.

All I can see is olimar leading a pikmin and half the S.S dolphin. It's really annoying me because everyone says that they can see different things and I can't see them.

If you put for finger in the middle of the moon, drag it very slightly north east (more east then north) then you will be on what I think/see as a very tiny olimar leading a pikmin next to him to his right.

Maybe it's a sequel for Skies of Arcadia!

Why couldn't it be a typo? It should be: look at the "sun"... Then I'd say Golden Sun 3!!! XD
