Quite possibly one of the most nostalgic Nintendo downloads ever featured on Infendo. Retro Gaming by Racket Boy is on a mission to start scanning old school magazines in all their goodness, and they’ve got a PDF version of the first Nintendo Power, issue #1, ready for download. The issue features a SMB2 preview, a Zelda walk-through, and so many nostalgic ads, you’ll be bursting with Nintendo joy.

My first issue was #6, though I backordered #5 (for the Ninja Gaiden issue, I think). Unfortunatly, I think they all ended up in the bin a long time ago. I asha,me, realy.
Somebody's been listening to too many Vault energy drink commercials on the radio! That's the second post in 3 days you've used the expression "get to it"!Or perhaps they've stolen your style…!
Dang! You got me, Ben. Sooner or later someone was going to catch on. I'll try to keep 'em to a minumum though I love the snappyness of the phrase.
Page 52 of the NPower issue. I'm not exactly sure if it works the same as in New Super Mario Bros. on DS but who would've thought that a 1988 magazine would let someone like me know—18 years later—how the fireworks work at the end of each level in NSMB… trippy.
I read somewhere that the cover to NP #1 had some controversy. Not sex or violence. But it was supposed to be a different take on the same image altogether. Originally it was supposed to be a cartoon hand drawn cover. I think there's a picture somewhere on the net that shows what NP #1 was going to look like. But this claymation version is what it eventually became when subscribers finally got their mitts on it.
^zi0nx5^ Wow, that's how you do it? Man, that's crazy. It also tells about the unlimited 1up's, which still works too. Well, I didn't need this, I could have just asked Cliff Bleszinski(see pg. 99, super mario bros.)
I was just looking at my real copy of that last night. My favorite part is where people write in and nominate players from their nintendo "clubs." There is a picture of one of the kids and he looks TOUGH!
I really want to see this but, my computer just can't load PDFs! Does any one know where I can see this in JPEG or GIF?And if anyone has a link to the Pic M-80 is talking about, please show me a link.
Thank you Giever!! I needed that.
I remember very vividly coming home from summer vacation to find this magazine amongst the mail. It was the greatest thrill and suprise of my life up until that point. A free magazine! From Nintendo!
