The ONLY way man
I remember seeing what new games were coming out and being so amped. No video trailers, no gameplay previews, just pictures and text.

The only way you knew if they were any good were by either buying or renting from blockbuster/local video shop


Sometimes living analog really does make the experiences in life a little bit sweeter.

I had a subscription that came free with my Gamecube in 2002. RIP

Nintendo Power in the 90's were so dope. I still remember when they announced TMNT for Nintendo and had the cover. It was like having a rare comic book.

Use to read them up until I got a ps2 lol. I remember going to the grocery store with my mom and going straight to the magazine section. Use to walk around reading it near my mom.

On a side note. Do people really read game informer? I heard they never give a game a bad review and are extremely bias.

Eh... Sounds pretty true
Well, I mean, they do give out some low scores, but they aren't as harsh as some other mags can be. At least from what I read.

I just remember the map they had for all the sewers. That game was ridiculous

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Great magazine. Damn shame

 

[acemaster193]

I used to work in a library back in the days and I would rob all video gaming magazines and take them home, Nintendo Power included.

 

[Nike Jordan]

I subscribed to Nintendo Power for a year just so I could get the Zelda Collector's Edition disc for the GameCube.

R.I.P.
