Correction, the news is accurate to the extent that the marketing department
have told the magazine. This "new" as we in the all know passes from the
team ( sometimes ), goes through the producer, manager, general manager, CEO
( sometimes ), marketing. The factually accurate news then becomes magazine
"news" where anything can happen. ( One example would be polygon performance
on the PSX or Saturn for example. ) I've been quoted before on things that I
never said but might have been cool from a company perspective to say. :/
Basically, never ever trust anything written in a games magazine.

In regards to the comments by Mr. Jonas Lund and Mr. Tony Sinclair -
Nintendo Power is Nintendo's magazine that they publish, and have for the
last 10 years ( http://www.nintendo.com/corp/history.html ).  You can most
certainly trust it for news.  Since the staff writers and editors are
employees of Nintendo (they don't just license the term "Official Nintendo
Magazine" as Mr. Sinclair stated, they actually write and publish it
themselves), I wouldn't trust the reviews, but the news is accurate.
