The final issue of the long-running Nintendo Power magazine is now available for purchase. The magazine has ran for an impressive 24 years. One of its founders, Howard Philips, says Nintendo Power’s popularity arose due to the maps and gameplay tips it provided to gamers.
You can purchase the final issue of Nintendo Power for $5.99 here.
“I’m just gaga over it now. Thinking of how fun it was to pull out a map of Zelda and see the entire world, and be able to go through it with your fingertip and then say, ‘Okay, there’s where you can burn that tree,’ or push that rock, or whatever. It was so cool. Getting that in the hands of kids was – from my perspective – the real big win that we were after.”
-Howard Philips
I wanna buy it !
So sad
Got to go get my hands on this.
You know what? 25 years dedicated to a single console company, congrats! That’s pretty amazing! A Mac or windows mag running that long isn’t nearly impressive
Not to one single console, you know what I mean. If xbox mag or ps mag make it 25 years as well, then they did good too
Sad day. Where can I buy it though? I want to have it as a remembering.
Online?
Sad day. Where can I get this last magazine? I want it as a nostalgic rememberance :)
Oh, Aldo, you robotic creature…we all love your little alien ass leg!
Ironically, as I type this, something else the Internet as killed :(
As = has
BAHAHA NINTENDO IS DYING!!!!
and that guys how trolls get attention.
But seriously, it really is sad :/
Lol
It would be cool to see NESTER IN THE LAST ISSUE
He is in the last issue, as a father that plays New Super Mario Bros. U with his son. A family man.
I hope I can find a sealed copy in stores. I want to buy 3 of them
I better not miss out on this issue in stores because of all the people who are planning to buy multiple copies (such as myself).
Looks like I can’t order it, because I live in Norway.
What stores can i buy it in 7/11? Like not online
I already got myself a copy. Kind of sad though.
Brings a tear to your eyes.
Might subscribe to this mag.
SHUT UP Penisiuss!!!
I still haven’t received my subscriber edition yet…
Ever since I had a Super NES, I was a die-hard subscriber to Nintendo Power (before the Big N transfer the said magazine to Future Publications). Those were good times when we see Rare developing Donkey Kong Country and Killer Instinct for their 16-bit console, Capcom releasing Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, Konami’s TMNT IV: Turtles in Time, Axelay, and Gradius III.
This is indeed a very sad day to see NP releasing their final issue. When next month comes, I’m subscribing to Pure Nintendo.
