Ms. Nintendique
Ms. Nintendique is a magazine mentioned by snooty and peppy villagers in the town. It parodies real magazines that focus on beauty and self-help. The name of this magazine is a portmanteau of Nintendo and Montique. Snooty villagers make references to it, such as mentioning beauty tips and products.

On occasion, a snooty villager will show doubts about these tips, and mention she dislikes trying the same tip last year with a different food. The publication also states that certain villagers make good couples.

A discussion about the magazine between two peppy villagers may result in one animal mentioning the High Heels Special of said magazine, and then asking the other if she still has martial arts classes. The other animal will then use the "Rage" emotion, because she thinks the animal who asked is calling her a wimp. The angry animal will then realize what she meant by commenting, "Oh yeah... You could do some real damage wearing them..." Every once and a while, a villager who reads Ms. Nintendique will tell you she had taken a quiz from the magazine and then made her own quiz, wanting the player to take it.
