Although as a Genesis gamer, I was never a big NIntendo fan until the N64 era of the company, for many people Nintendo Power is the original resource for everything from news and reviews, to cheats, tips and walkthroughs for some of gaming history's most obtuse and frustrating titles, as well as some of its best.
Getting a hold of a collection of the magazines though isn't easy, so it's great to see that the a large portion of its history now available. In total there are 145 issues, covering a 13 year period from the very first issue in 1988, right through to 2001, with the introduction of the Game Boy Advance.
Released for the first time in July 1988, Nintendo Power Issue one offered a detailed break down of Super Mario 2, an in-depth review of Zelda - Second Quest mode and a number of tips and tricks for various titles.
There was also the traditional posters and giveaway items, letters to editors and more to enjoy across those many pages and the issues that followed.
You can have a read of any of those issues on the Archive page. No word yet if we can expect more in the future, but it wouldn't be surprising if we did.
