Gameboy Color, thanks for all of the updates! I hadn't realized how far behind I had gotten. I just updated the list in the original post.

By the way, I like the recent hand drawn/painted covers. They look great!

No problem. This topic has actually renewed my interest in Nintendo Power.

The sad part is, it's still just glorified stock art. The first 20 or so NPs had the best covers, as the art was all created by the staff.

Yeah a lot of people lost intereste in Nintendo Power..and now this thread has kind of sparked interest..you should get paid by Nintendo for marketing their magazine....

I remember as a kid visiting this local video store (which was bigger then Blockbuster) and they had some ad posted on the counter (cannot remember to this day why, mabye for subsriptions) with the first Nintendo Power picture on it..I wanted that magazine so bad for the longest time due to the cover art..made out of clay..definately a good magazine in the 90's..can't say I have picked one up to read or skim through lately however..

Thanks for the list Rob. being a collector of NP, I really appreciate a thread like this. Iam only missing 31 issues, and I'll use this as a checklist.

Also I just received issue 225 in the mail today, it has "Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood" for the DS on the cover.

I might be able to help you with the missing issues. Hit me up - I sell them on eBay but might be able to work out a deal for a fellow Canuck!

February 2010 - All kinds of games and stuff.

I just updated the list in the original post. Thanks! To be accurate though, the Spirit Tracks issue is Holiday 2009 and issue 250 is January 2010.

So, what are the 250 reasons to love Nintendo?

Fixed.

I haven't read this issue yet, but I'll list them along with the post if it is so desired.

Nah, I was just joking around. Thanks for offering though.

If you look around torrent sites, there's a torrent that contains all of the player guides, a few of the Fun Club issues and the first 175 or so issues of Nintendo Power. I downloaded and kept most of it - up through the SNES era, that is.

It just has the cover art for each of those magazines, right? Surely somebody didn't scan every page of every magazine!?!

Could you direct me to said torrent?

I'm not sure of the specific torrent being talked about here, but it's fairly common for people to scan entire magazines for download.

Wow, I'd like to get my hands on that. I sold my NP collection about a year ago just because I was tired of storing them, but it would be nice to have digital copies of every magazine. Especially the older ones, there were some good maps and stuff for older games.

[JSoup]

I used to have a pile of NPs, but I was forced to throw most of them away awhile back. I still have my favorite issues, though, including Volume 30.
