RIP - Nintendo Power Magazine
Friends come and go. It's part of life. Sometimes we forget about the friend until we hear their name mentioned. Then the memories come flooding back as if a light was turned on in a darkened room.
It was recently announced that Nintendo Power magazine will cease publication in December. The 1st issue was released in 1988 and was the source of gaming news and previews. A lot of it was marketing fluff but I didn't know otherwise as it was ninteen-fucking-eighty-eight and all WWW meant was that you stuttered.
So yeah...it's been a while since I last thought of the magazine...but the memories are there and they make me smile. I think I will go download a ROM and fire up the emulator.

BoneRemakeI recall holding one of those editions in my hands. Others as well. I did not know they had still had it in rotation. I am not tearing up over it as you might tell. But I sure remember that cover.
gwiz665BAM you just got old.
xxovercastxxI held on to that original issue for probably 5 years until it was accidentally destroyed while moving. It would be cool to still have it.
I'm sure it would seem completely ridiculous were I to read it now, as I'm cynical enough to see it as the 30-page ad that it is, but the nostalgia would be fun.
