I had the first ~100 issues of Nintendo Power, starting when I was 6 or so. At the time I found it really interesting. As I grew older, I couldn't tell if the magazines were simply getting worse or I was just getting older and realizing they were worse. Then I realized they were always bad in a special way, because it was essentially a huge advertisement for Nintendo.

One thing I do remember rather enjoying (and being of high quality) were their special edition game-specific guides. The one for Link To the Past was great if I remember right.

Anyway, I think its fun that they used essentially the same covers for their first and last issues. Fitting and well done.

Just like Seinfeld[1]? (first joke of first episode as the last joke of the series finale)
