Nintendo Power to contain exclusive Indy preview 29 Jan, 2009 / Comments: 7

By Jason


There's been some rumblings (which indyjones.net has picked up on) that the reason LucasArts remains mum on Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, despite its imminent Spring release window, is that the next issue of Nintendo Power is set to reveal all in an exclusive preview of the recently confirmed to still be alive in the form of low-end ports of a cancelled PS3/360 project announced game.

The cover for the March issue of Nintendo Power would certainly seem to corroborate this suspicion. Ignore the implication that Indy will throw an octopus in this game and get excited!

Tingler's Update: It's also worth noting for UK Indy fans that as Nintendo Power is the official Nintendo magazine, the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine may well get it too (just like the recent Brutal Legend preview in both Official Xbox Mags). Indeed, the current issue of ONM is promising 'a very exciting game exclusively revealed' for their next issue.

Update 2: Official Nintendo Mag unfortunately says nope, it's not their big exclusive. Bugger.

    I gotta say that while I love the image, this still reigns supreme in the category of LEC-related Nintendo Power covers.

    Since UKers are being left out in the cold on this one, I'll try to get some scans up on Mojo when the magazine comes out.

    Cheers man. It's likely Nintendo Power has the exclusive reveal, but once that's out the door all other magazines will start getting previews out too. LucasArts might even decide to update the game's website if they feel like it.

    I wonder how big is this octopus and if it is reusable.

    Presumably not this big!

    Octopus ATTACK!

    I think I'm excited most about the implication of octopus-chucking though. Drat.
