[edit] Dennis Publishing

I don't believe that Dennis ever got any part of Nintendo Magazine at all. From what I have read at http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=13360 and http://www.mcvuk.com/newsitem.php?id=633, EMAP produced the mag till mid-Jan 2006. Feb 2006 was when Future used it's new license to produce the mag from scratch. Dennis Publishing never got any of the staff from EMAP, therefore, it wasn't "sold" to Dennis at all.

[edit] Origins & Magazine connections

[edit] Julian Rignall & Zzap!64

While the facts and history of this section can not be denied, is the history of Julian Rignall and Zzap!64 really relevant to this Mean Machines article? Especially when they have their own seperate articles?

[edit] History

What happened during the Mean Machines 24 issue run? There is more mention of non related Mean Machines history here.

[edit] Content & Style

What features and regulars did the magazine have?

[edit] Mean Machines Sega, Nintendo Magazine System & Mean Machines Playstation

A lot is mentioned of these magazines. Should these magazines not be seperated into their own articles? After all MMS lasted well over 50 issues and there is certainly enough history and detail to hold its own article, as should NMS.

[edit] Connected magazines

Title seems a bit misleading as surely this section discusses staff members and what happended to them.
