Nintendo DREAM

Nintendo DREAM is a Nintendo game magazine published in Japan. Originally titled The 64 DREAM, the magazine's first volume was released in July 1996 and features coverage on Super Mario 64, with volumes 1 through 55 covering games for the Nintendo 64. One feature during this era was a comic strip titled Dream Dunker illustrated by Shigehisa Nakaue, which starred Bowser and a single Shy Guy in stories promoting recent Nintendo 64 releases. Nakaue would later leave the magazine in 2003 to work directly with Nintendo. The magazine's title was changed to Nintendo DREAM to account for the release of the Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance, starting with volume 56, the May 2001 issue. An appendix to the December 1999 issue is titled The GB DREAM, and features a manga with Mario characters and coverage of Game Boy games. .

The magazine is published monthly on the 21st day of every month. From the release of volume 72 on August 21, 2002 to the release of volume 135 in July 2005, the magazine was instead published twice monthly, on both the 6th and 21st day of each month. The magazine is referred to by shorthand as Nindori, which is also its official Twitter handle and the name of a villager in the Animal Crossing series, who serves as the magazine's mascot. Nintendo DREAM also has its own YouTube channel, as well as a website known as Nintendo DREAM WEB, which provides online access to articles.
