Oh Nintendo Power, everything started in 1988 and sadly ended in 2012, however the 24-year run of this monthly magazine changed the life of many kids mainly in the 90s. If it didn’t have stopped, in July this year the publication would have turned 34 years old, but hey, good things don’t seem to last long.
Either way, if you are a nostalgic junkie like us you will be happy to know that fans and anyone interested can read and download all the 285 published issues of Nintendo Power online thanks to another dedicated fan.
In case you missed it: Nintendo has no plans to release new hardware in the second half of 2022
That is dedication
At this point, most Nintendo Power issues are collector items, so if you happen to have one you better be taking good care of it. But back to the news, Reddit user Gumball1989 was the one who shared that they downloaded all 285 issues of Nintendo Power and re-uploaded them to Archive.org as a complete collection.
To be honest with you, we lied in the title, there are still two issues missing from the collection, so it's almost ALL issues you can read online. Actually, if you happen to have the 208 and 285 issues you better put in contact with them as they are asking for help from others to source them.
You may be wondering, why
Why someone would spend a good time of his days uploading up to 280 issues of an old magazine, well Gumball shared that they have been a longtime Nintendo fan and have always loved collecting older gaming manuals, searching for them, and digitally uploading them; so even thought this was a challenge, they went ahead with this preserving project.
As we all know, Nintendo is pretty protective of their media and maybe this will not sit well with them, so we recommend you to go now, and download them all before the big N comes and deletes all.
