  • Nintendo Power’s Last Issue Is A Blast From The Past

    When it was announced that Nintendo Power would be ending back in August it was a bit of a culture shock. Another childhood item that would become nothing but memory.

    Now the final issue is here and the folks at Future Media have gone above and beyond with the last cover. As you can see it is a great homage to the first ever issue of the magazine. Now I admittedly have not ready an issue of Nintendo power for many, many years (which I understand is one of the reason the magazine is ending) but I will definitely be picking up this final issue if for no reason then to feel like a kid again for a few minutes.

  • R.I.P. Nintendo Power

     

    File this under more childhood memories that are dead. News today has surfaced that Nintendo Power is going the way of the Virtual Boy. Future Publishing said they were going to halt the monthly magazine and that Nintendo showed no interest in picking up the licence again to try and save it. Now granted I didn’t read Nintendo Power on a regular basis anymore but this is sad news still because it was such a huge part of my childhood.

    Who didn’t love reading about the awesome new Zelda game that was promised to be out by the end of the year and wasn’t seen for three years more (i.e. every Zelda game) or keeping up with the continuing adventures of Captain N? Memories….light the corners of my mind. Misty, water colored memories. of the way we were.

    So let’s all shed a single Indian tear and pour a 40 for our dear departed childhood friend Nintendo Power.

    Here’s some old Nintendo Power covers for your time of mourning.
