RIP Nintendo Power

Yeah, so, Nintendo Power will be the next video game publication to bite the dust.

Someone thought they might do that soon. They did have a good long run though, and I'm sorry to see that Nintendo's relationship with Future wasn't a great one either. I remember the good old days when I'd come home from school and find a new issue in the mailbox pretty much every month. Now I get them after I come home from work. Now that's all going to end soon.

I remember the Super Power Supplies catalogs they had for some time. They had a lot of cool things in there. I got a lot of video game CDs from them that way too.

I've been a subscriber since January 1990, and my first issue was volume 10 with Batman on the cover. The Jan/Feb 1990 issue. (The latest issue is #281, August 2012.) I've been subscribing ever since, and at some point in 1996 I decided to order some back-issues to complete my collection. They had all the ones I needed except for volume 9, but I tried my hand at my very first eBay auction in 2003 to get it, and I even won. Now that the publication is ceasing though, at least I don't have to worry about running out of space on my shelf.
