    Default Complete list of Nintendo Power Guides - post SNES era?

    Is there anything of that sort floating around? NP are easily the best guides around, and the only guides I usually ever need for a game are low and behold - Nintendo games. Yet I don't care much for anything before the Nintendo 64 (not to mention their really weren't all that many), and was hoping I could get a list which compiled all that were made by Nintendo Power. It might be a long shot, but it's something I could really find useful.

    One more thing, yes, Game Boy games too.

    And of course if their isn't one, I think it'd be a good task for us DPers to start up.

    That says a lot about the other guides around. (NP's guides are the only ones I know of, and at times they are lacking.)

    I always found NP's guides to be awful in comparison to Prima's (once they became official). Though NP's DKC guides were pretty guide. The Zelda OoT was a mess though. Luckily I got it for free with a subscription to their awful mag.
    Sexy.

    Well it's a personal prefrence I suppose, anything Prima or Brady puts out is god awful to me.

    But again, a list?

    Definatley a personal preference. NP's guides too me are so much better than Brady and Prima, by FAR!

    I suppose some of the early ones, like the NES Game Atlas or Top Secret Passwords, were pretty cool, but surely they have not maintained this level of excellence?
