The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

Yeah, it's Nestor grown up with his own kid, going to play some Mario on the latest console. Man, I miss Nintendo Power. They should do a digital version of that, and put out there for all the people that pay for their online multiplayer.

Well, there is the podcast, I think?

Oh... been a bit since that was updated.

Well, failing that, as Zaku said, there's also Nintendo Force magazine!

I hear it has some talented folks writing for it, including one ex-Nintendo Power contributor...

And it's available both physically and digitally!

I didn't realize this Howard was a real person.

The most memorable Nestor strip for me was the Mega Man 2 strip (found it, posting) and I realize its very classic manga looking. Who was the artist anyhow? Or the writer? (If it wasn't this Howard guy)



Also I remember being really annoyed at Nintendo Power because they have maps and info about the game stages EXCEPT the final stages! That's where we need the info the most, geez.

I think they wanted to avoid spoiling things...

But yeah, it could be frustrating sometimes.

As for the artists/writers... I believe this goes into that, and a bit more:

I just counted and we have 65 switch 1 games with cases, 1 without, and 1 digital game.

Add another one to the case list, as I got my oldest Mario and Luigi Brothership.

My kids' Switch collection. I had a realization this weekend that this is the system of their childhood. This is their generation's NES, and they have a ton of games to play on it thanks to their Video Game crazy dad.

There were a few Nintendo Power-inspired fan-zines that popped up. I don't know if any of them really got any traction. Nintendo Force Magazine is maybe the biggest one? But, the fans did try to keep it alive, even if the golden age of gaming magazines has probably sadly sunsetted.


That was Howard. Of "Howard and Nester" fame! He was actually based on the real-life president of the Nintendo Fan Club at the time, Howard Phillips.

Thanks for the recommendation of Nintendo Force Magazine. I just ordered the latest issue (The November/December Ocarina of Time issue) to try it out, and if I like It, then I will subscribe to it in January.

I hope you enjoy it, then!

I tried reading the PDF they sent me but it doesn't look good on my phone. I need to try it out on my PC at home.

wow.
