Future teams with Panini for Girl Gamer


Future and Panini will now be working with eachother after announcing a new partnership together for the girls' focused magazine title Girl Gamer. It will be an extension for Future's popular Official Nintendo Magazine. It will be free due to it being included with several Easter issues of two of Panini's other magazines; Mizz and Bliss.

The focus will be on both Wii and DS titles in the second issue after the success of the first magazine; following a print run of a nice 340,000 copies. It is also available online.

Lee Nutter, publisher of both Girl Gamer and the Official Nintendo Magazine, said:

"The universal appeal and accessibility of Nintendo’s DS and Wii consoles means that more and more teenage girls are playing games."

"Future's partnership with Panini’s Bliss and Mizz magazines gives us fantastic reach into this audience, delivering relevant game content to 840,000 readers of the print and digital e-zine edition of Girl Gamer."

Jess Tadmor, the marketing manager for Mizz and Bliss, added:

"We are delighted to partner with Future again on the second edition of Girl Gamer. The interest in gaming amongst teenage girls continues to grow and Girl Gamer provides our readers with varied content on some of the hottest games that are in the market."

I didn't even know this magazine existed myself but I will definitely buy it if I can find it. I think it's great having a special magazine just for girl gamers. Personally, I think they should sell Girl Gamer separately rather than include it in other magazines as I'm not really interested in Bliss or Mizz; but I expect that I would enjoy reading Girl Gamer. So girls, be sure to check out either Bliss or Mizz this Easter to snap up the next copy of Girl Gamer!

Bliss FTW

GIRL GAMER FTMFW

I'd read both

I like how on the first cover of the new magazine specifically aimed at girls one of the featured games is Cooking Mama 2.

Next up, WiiChores?

I'm the opposite. I hate the fact that it has Cooking Mama 2 on the front cover. Just because we're girls, it doesn't mean we have lame taste in games lol.

Since when was Cooking Mama lame? Also Skylined, the reason why it is Cooking Mama is because Cooking Mama is a pretty  casual game. You have to admit, looking at Cooking Mama, it appears to appeal to girls more than boys. Although I do enjoy playing the original every once in a while.

Well, yeah, I hate it too-- I was being sarcastic.

Yeah, gamers kinda sterotype girl gamers. I think they should be treated just like guy gamers.

Then what would be the point of this magazine be?

The magazine should be repurposed to suit all casual gamers, and not blindly suppose that all girls are casual gamers-- because not all guys are hardcore gamers, either.

You're coming to this big conclusion just because it says Cooking Mama 2 on the front of the magazine? When I read a normal games magazine and it has a casual game on the front, I don't assume that the magazine is just for casual gamers...

wait. girls play games?

You raise a good point-- We'll have to wait and see what's actually inside that cover.

"Cooking Mama" on the cover is a sexist joke waiting to happen...

It already happened.

"I like how on the first cover of the new magazine specifically aimed at girls one of the featured games is Cooking Mama 2.

it seems they do but only games about cooking and feelings

Oo, i'll get this magazine, and i'm a guy!




JKing.

Lol. You're right actually. It looks like she's used a whole pink lipstick on her lips.
