Heh, I had a nintendo power subscription when the mag first came out. I think I stuck with it for about 3 or 4 years. Honestly, I felt it went terribly downhill when they introduced the NEStor comic. That's when I gave up. No idea if it got better after that. The reviews were decent, the tips and tricks were integral, the cheat codes were like CRACK COCAINE TO ME!!!11!! Oh, and the centerfolds were lulzy though the extended level maps were absolutely epic at the time.
I sold all my issues on ebay this past summer. Donthatemeguys.
