Pure Nintendo Magazine (PNM) Issue 53

Wow, time flies when you’re playing Animal Crossing! Hard to believe we’re already halfway through 2020. Nintendo is starting off the 2nd half of the year with a brand new Paper Mario game -- Paper Mario: The Origami King. Jennifer gives us an in-depth look at the game and all of its Origami-themed antics. The world of the game has such a wonderful, crafted look. Speaking of crafting, we have another Animal Crossing Corner featuring the latest items and seasonal updates for the game. Nintendo has finally brought back swimming/diving! My family has really been enjoying the game and it’s been an especially good distraction during this pandemic. To continue the Animal Crossing trend, Trev takes us down memory lane with a look back at Animal Crossing: Wild World for the Nintendo DS. Katelyn has the deceptively sweet origin of Star Bits in her latest Culture Connection. Stay safe and, as always, we have the latest news, video game art, pixel puzzles, reviews, and more packed into each page! Happy Gaming!
