Nintendo Power Magazine History

Mike and Neil look back at Nintendo Power magazine, from its 1988 debut as the successor to the Nintendo Fun Club newsletter through its evolution across the NES and Super Nintendo eras. They discuss memorable issues, how the magazine served as the primary source for game secrets and tips before the internet, its coverage of Nintendo accessories, and how its identity shifted dramatically after the mid-90s with the rise of the N64, Pokemon, and competing magazines like EGM and GamePro.
