The Australian version of NMS was originally published by Trielle Corporation[1] as a 68-page magazine.

The first issue appeared in April 1993, and featured Super Mario Land 2 on the cover.

It was Australia's official Nintendo magazine, and was very critical to poorly made video game software, with scores for such games often in the low thirties.

The magazine often included news and articles not relating to Nintendo products, from information on the idea of virtual reality, to the highest selling coin-operated arcade games at the time.

[2] In November 2008, a new official Australian Nintendo magazine was announced.
