SEE ALSO
Nintendo Power Magazine was launched in July of 1988.
It was the successor of the Nintendo Fun Club Newsletter. If you were a member of the Nintendo Fun Club you probably received the first issue for free. Of particular interest is the change in cover design on the premiere issue from cartoon-ish graphics to clay models. If anyone has an original cover, "clay-free", I would be interested in buying it!
Nintendo Power has also produced many popular strategy guides over the years.
It's partly because of the free guide giveaway with paid subscription promotions that Nintendo Power owes it's success. Most Nintendo Aficionados are proud to display their copy of the Official Nintendo Player's Guide.
