Then it should be "The Official Nintendo Magazine (For This Region)". :D
Seriously though, NiGHTS was a fun game, it was. It was short, and the 3D play mode was actually rather dull, but the flying stages were done pretty well and it's fun, as I said.
However, I really don't think the game is worth all the praise so many people put on it. It really isn't THAT good. I mean, Pacman World is fun too. I get the impression that all this praise seems to stem from the few people who originally bought a Saturn instead of a PS1 justifying their purchase or otherwise just being wowed for what was, at the time, a unique idea of a 3D graphics 2D gameplay sort of experience, and also people who never got the game but read all those old reviews just talking out of their arse.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
