    Surprising some of you know about it.
    When I was a kid Nintendo Power was THE magazine. It was produced in house, so they had all sorts of cool insider info. And it was pretty much the only way you could geek out about video games. Even when the N64 was new it was still pretty relevant since the internet still hadn't taken over the world yet.

    Now it's just sort of a thing you probably shouldn't care about.
    I guess so. They still are interesting, though.

    I'm surprised people haven't even heard of it. Nintendo Power was the primary source for all things Nintendo back when. Still, as aforementioned, the Internet took that all away ...

    The Shop is (hopefully) temporarily down, sorry guys.

    I still subscribe to it, if only if it's something to look forward to once a month. Some of the articles are still interesting, and most of the review scores aren't that off.

    Well I was just spouting out the subscription I payed for Time this year. Looked it up, and cheapest I found was 25 per year. Sweetish deal.

    25 for Time or NP? That's a good deal for either anyways.

    Well my Time was 20. I was saying that NP, from my research, was 25. Though, there could be cheaper.

    Oh, I see. NP used to give free stuff (Those game handbooks for example) with subscriptions, so the value used to be better- nowadays, there's no such thing. As I said before, I forget the exact price, but around $25 sounds about right.

    I'd heard about that free stuff! Didn't a lot of magizines do that in the past? I remember a PS magazine my grandpa got when I was a kid gave him a disc. This disc had about ten or so demos on it whenever it came; and it came every half a year or so. It was a pretty cool perk.

    Did they do stuff like that?

    I'm astonished they still make them. I'm guessing they aren't as popular anymore though.

    More in the past. I recently bought a PS magazine to get some demos for the PS3 ;) NP doesn't do that stuff as much anymore, especially since they switched owners.

    Has it really gotten that rare? I bet I could order a subscription this second if I wanted to.

    The posters they used to include weren't that great quality wise, but they don't even include those every issue anymore.
