Nintendo Power Magazine

Pros: Great information. Great visual quality. They know what they're doing.
Cons: So-so game reviews, sometimes a mentioned future release is cancelled. I hate that.

When I look back at the prime of the N64, I remember digging through my old issues for game hints and codes, and I put my heart into this magazine. Sadly I cancelled my subscription because of lack of money at the time. My last issue is from June of 02,...

Pros: great reviews and strategies, few ads, focused on nintendo stuff
Cons: codes aren't so good, pokemon stuff is still around

Nintendo Power is the main gaming magazine focused mostly on Gamecube, but also a lot of stuff on Game Boy Advance. I am a Gamecube owner and this magazine has helped me in buying games - but let me take you through the magazine and you can decide for ...

Pros: Only magazine that's truly devoted to Nintendo...and is the official source
Cons: Tend to be racist, too much strategy's rather than News

“I’ve been spending most my life, living in a Gamers Paradise, I take a break once or twice, living in a Gamers Paradise”

Sorry, I let my music side get the best of me there. Speaking of Gamers Paradise, this is my...

Pros: Colorful; occasionally gives an inside look at Nintendo
Cons: Total propaganda; poor-quality maps and strategies; what's up with the ads?

There was a time when Nintendo Power was THE magazine for gamers to have. Great strategies, tips, and articles really made Nintendo Power strong, overcoming its weak review system and its blatant trumpeting of Nintendo propaganda. Now, Nintendo Power has...

Pros: Good game reviews, unreleased product info, feedback and Q & A section
Cons: Most codes are basic and released on web first

Nintendo Power is a great magazine for beginners and dedicated gamers alike. Each issue provides reviews on upcoming games and follow-ups on older games. Besides just having basic magazine components, NP also features monthly contests, a game web site...

Pros: good for children
Cons: doesn't disclose important information fast enough

I've been a subscriber to this magazine for about 5 years, and when my next renewal notice comes, I won't be sending it in. I find this magazine to be late on giving you important information, and I find the general layout to be aimed more for kids....

Pros: Alot of free stuff including a strategy guide, free poster every issue, good previews, great covers, many contests.
Cons: Everything else including reviews, posters of games you don't want or heard of, and quality of magazine.

The success of Nintendo Power seems to reflect the success of their current system. Nintendo used to dominate the video game industry with their Nintendo and Super Nintendo, but the fall of Nintendo Power seemed to coincide with the time when Nintendo...

Pros: Full of pretty, glossy pages.
Cons: Biased Reviews, Low Quality Articles, Constant Advertising, And Pokemon are out of control.

I've had a subscription to Nintendo Power for about 5 years. I'll admit, I liked it when I was younger, but now I can't stand it. I canceled my subscription after a year or so of suffering. During the last couple of years, I had to seriously consider...

Pros: provides cheats, strategies, and reviews
Cons: a bit pricey

Nintendo Power is one of my favorite magazines. Even though it is a little expensive, I still think that it is worth the buy for all of the features that Nintendo Power offers. Nintendo Power gives you all of the latest news about games. All of...

Pros: Subscriber bonuses, Strategies, Previews, Price
Cons: the 'Now Playing' section, Kiddish feel

I feel weird still being a subscriber to Nintendo Power. It's great and all, but it's kiddie. But I'm hooked to it! I've been a subscriber to this magazine for a few years now, and it has had it's ups and downs. One reason I will always try to be a...

Pros: Write Away Right Away, Artist's Gallery,Online NP, Some strategies, Code Cop,
Cons: Reviews, Reviews, REVIEWS! Some strategy guides.

Well, in my opinion, I kind of like Nintendo Power. It's an okay magazine. Okay. Not good, not great. Just okay. I'll tell you why. I enjoy reading the Player's Pulse (letters, and I like the fanart. I will be going through every section in Nintendo...

Pros: Good for kids, Pokemon stuffed
Cons: Pokemon, biased, old news, written for kids

I've been a subscriber to Nintendo Power since I originally got my NES. I've always had a NES, Super Nintendo, then N64, so it kept making since to get Nintendo Power. Then I got a Playstation, and with it I borrow every issue of Gamepro from my friend...

Pros: Excellent Reviews, funny commentary in articles, Terrific previews and info of upcoming games
Cons: Too many ads, not enough codes

I have been a subscriber of Nintendo Power for about 4 or 5 years now, and I must say I love it. The game strategies are very good, but they leave little bits out, for the player to figure out for himself. In all my years of Nintendo Power, the magazine...

Pros: Last few pages have great reviews and a handy list of games
Cons: Small mag, lots of ads, crappy articles

About a year ago I resubscribed to Nintendo Power, a magazine I had subscribed to years before. I just don't like it! It has no useful information that can't be found at sites like IGN64.com. IGN64 is a much better source for info on Nintendo...

Pros: Good Contests, Great Maps, Low cost
Cons: Old News, Not Hardcore

I have been subscribing to Nintendo Power for 6 years now, and I am not disapointed. The magazine has a lot of interactivity especially in the last few months. It has the best maps of any video game magazine, and it even has a monthly contest which 56...
