Episode S3E4: Rest In Peace, Nintendo Power

For nearly 25 years, Nintendo Power magazine existed as the go-to source for all things Nintendo. Every month, readers could count on previews, reviews, strategy guides & cheats (in its early days), and the latest in Nintendo news. This past December, however, the big N pulled the plug on the magazine, leaving the USA without a single print source devoted to Nintendo. We recount the glory days of the magazine, sprinkled with childhood memories and the excitement we felt at a new issue every month. Episode S3E4
