They became sort've pointless in the last ten years, anyway. Nintendo Power was great in the old days, when it was the source for concept art, hidden secrets and codes for games, maps and strategies that couldn't be found elsewhere, and interviews and insider information on what was coming out and little bits of information about games that were out.

... not to belittle the nostalgia, of course. I've been systematically downloading all the old volumes from Retro Mags and reading them on my iphone. My heart still fills up when I read the news that "Castlevania 3 is coming out!" or an interview with the Earthbound creator, or that segment that tells you how to get all the Red Jewels in Illusion of Gaia. Sigh....

Yeah, they're kind of an artifact of the 90s noawadays. They were a great publication when I was a kid, but print is pretty much dying slowly. Most of the smart magazines have gone cyber in some form--hell, even Fangoria and Rue Morgue are online these days.

My favorite issue of Nintendo Power: May 1992. Darkwing Duck, Wacky Races, Return of the Joker GB, "Link to the Past" comic.

Enter a mid-life crisis where I pretend I'm 22 again, chilling in my room, smoking up and looking at NP pictures after the parents had gone to bed (AMAZING social life I had before moving out, eh?) or something like that.
