This is hours of pure nostalgic fun. Great job! During the early s, the magazine used what was a unique and very expensive promotion: giving away a free copy of the new NES game Dragon Quest to every new subscriber. The promotion both helped the company get rid of the unsold merchandise, and won the magazine thousands of new subscribers.
After these stories ended, they were replaced by similar multi-issue stories based on Star Fox , Super Metroid , and later on, Nintendo 64 games such as Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire and Blast Corps. Since Nintendo Power switched from a bi-monthly magazine to a monthly magazine in May , every other issue is a strategy guide focused on a single game. Only four such strategy guides were released.
Nintendo then outsourced production of official guides to Prima Games. A copy of the first issue was given complimentary to subscribers in addition to being sold at newsstands. In , a smaller version of the magazine called Pocket Power was distributed at movie theaters showing The Wizard. Nester is the long-time teenage mascot and comic strip star of Nintendo Power.
The comic strips generally advertised new games, often by dream sequences where Nester was actually a given video game character. From to , The Nintendo Power Awards featured Nester-shaped trophies and were referred to in the magazine as the 'Nesters' as a reference to the Oscars. In the June issue Volume 25 , Phillips was written out of the strip after his real-life counterpart left Nintendo to work for LucasArts. The strip was retitled Nester's Adventures the following issue and continued publication until Volume 55 December Nester, now as a college student, appeared in Nintendo Power issue I mean, Nintendo Power had a great run and you've got it all right here.
It's like when you finish a great game - you're kind of sad to see it end, but really proud and happy, too. You know what I see when I look at this final issue? Nester had also been featured in a few video games that were released while the character was still featured in the magazine.
Other appearances include the ending of To the Earth. The character of Lark in Pilotwings 64 for the Nintendo 64 was based on Nester. He is mentioned in one line of dialogue in the game StarTropics.
