Nintendo Power convinced me to NOT buy Pokemon Platinum
I was really excited to get Pokemon Platinum, which would be my first entry into the series! No offense to the Pokemon Nation out there, but Nintendo Power just convinced me not to buy the new edition that comes out next week. In their description of Pokemon Platinum, the amount of details about the characters, the items they can hold, the different Formes they can take, and the ability to gai...
Review: 20 Years of Nintendo Power is entertaining history abridged
Scott Pelland can write. As a staff writer and later managing editor of Nintendo Power for 20 years (1987-2007), I can’t think of a better historian to tell “the history of Nintendo through the pages of the official magazine,” which is precisely what Pelland did in the special edition of 20 Years of Nintendo Power. After reading it, I’m convinced he’s the grandfather ...

While paging the latest issue of Nintendo Power, I spotted (or remembered) seven lower-profile Wii games that I’m curious about, in no particular order: Broken Sword: Director’s Cut Virtua Tennis 2009 MotoGP Tiger Wood 09 Deadly Creatures The House of the Dead: Overkill Tenchu: Shadow Assassins I’m gonna try Tenchu tonight, with my impressions to follow.

Poll – Nintendo Power
An interesting blurb from Iwata can be found in an article over at MTV. It basically reassures the assumption that Nintendo farmed out the publishing of Nintendo Power to Future US because it is easier and cheaper for them to disseminate information through the Internet. Personally, I think Nintendo Power has really turned around since it left Nintendo’s grasp and recent issues have become...
Nintendo Power teases Indianapolis satellite image in latest issue
I haven’t finished my current issue of Nintendo Power yet and already someone is snapping strange pictures of the next issue’s big tease. Apparently, it’s a satellite map of Indianapolis. Speculation ranges from a Google Maps partnership with Nintendo (or Wii Channel), to an Indianapolis racing game, to–hold onto your hats–something to do with Earthbound. Who’s ...
New Nintendo patent could be next-gen Counselor’s Corner
A Nintendo patent filed by Shigeru Miyamoto last year, but unearthed today by a bevy of news sites, could be the beginning of a resurgence for the now defunct Nintendo Power feature Counselor’s Corner. As a refresher for you youngins, Corner was a place where fledgling gamers could write for hints and tips on Nintendo games. Nintendo Power actually had on staff a bunch of lucky guys who got ...
Ex-Team Ninja staff work on new TMNT game
According to reports from the newest issue of Nintendo Power, Ubisoft will be publishing a new four-player fighting game based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But it’s who’s developing the title that’s interesting. Supposedly, the team tasked with creating this 2.5D brawler is comprised of former Team Ninja staffers and folks who worked on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. GoNintendo...
Nintendo holds Charity Event for Starlight Foundation

Nintendo Power past, present, and future
Kyle Orland from Crispy Gamer scored an informative interview with Chris Slate on what it’s like to be the editor of the most storied game magazine in history. After Orland asks how in the world Nintendo Power can endure another 20 years in light of cyberspace tabloids, Slate responds: The simple answer is that print is never going to go away; it’s a different type of experience and ha...
The Rebirth of Nintendo Power
I spent the better part of the past 15 minutes on the Nintendo Power subscription page, my mouse cursor hovering over the place order arrow button, my mind unsure of how my body got to be where it was, or why. The catalyst for this weird stage of events was a cool article at Aeropause, which actually examines the dying “hardcore” gaming mag industry as a whole, but has a few choice wor...
