Nintendo Power collectors guide
Приєднався 8 чер 2012
I loved growing up with Nintendo Powers and eagerly waiting for the next issue to come in the mail. 30 plus years later, i enjoy them just as much if not more. I would love to help others put together the collection they want by showing what each issue came with originally.
Thanks for watching!

Nintendo power magazine SEALED 7 (not really sealed)
Just a note here, the backside of the poster is level layouts for Code Name: Viper, not Journey to Silius
Question to you think thr subscription cards still work ? I bought one of these today and I have the subscription card in it and was curious if it would work I know it's old but it would be funny of it did work
I have actually thought of doing that for a long time now!
Thank you for doing all these videos! Very helpful.
You are very welcome! Glad it helped
Im trying to order this on ebay but the spine has no volume number … so its not a subscriber addition?
This is part of a consecutive run of magazines that came out around this time that were stapled instead of with the glued spine. There was no place to print on the spine with the type of binding it used.
Thank you for this info. This is exactly what i needed to know… this cover is so iconic! When i didnt see the spine with the number and nintendo power logo I thought it was a store display… so what issue did this spine with the staples ??? I thought the earlier ones had spines??
Yes, they went back and forth. I believe it had to do with the page count fluctuating. Issues 79-91 were produced with stapled spines, then from issue 92 onward, they produced with the glued spine.
Can I have it
God they didn’t need to do earthbound dirty they could’ve just put boogerman again there
It took about a year, but I finally recorded the whole book.
When will it be released?
Email me at the address in the channel description.
Awesome! Seen random issues of these on ebay from time to time and wondered how many there even were. So when's Nintendo Fun Club News, Nintendo Power Advance, and Pocket Power videos? :)
Thanks! I actually never collected the other series, so I don't have any past connection with them, so I've never had any desire for buying them. But if I ever get them at a reasonable price, especially the fun club, I may do one.
What's the best strategy when buying these? I only collect complete, in good condition, and without sticker residue/mailing address. So far I have 50 in the collection, and I want another 70. I typically look on eBay but it is extremely tedious asking sellers what is included as most don't list/know what is included. This is almost like apart time job hunting these down. I've poked around Mercari a couple times as well without as much success as eBay. I just am wondering if there is a way to expedite the search the process? I'm also open to buying from private sellers. Any tips if you know any would be appreciated.
Unfortunately, they way you are doing it is the best path to follow. It's a slow road if you want to collect at that level. It takes a lot of communication, requests, and patience, but it sounds like you've done excellent so far. One avenue that may be helpful is the Nintendo Power Facebook group if you are not already a part of it. If you are not, email me at the address in the channel description and I'll send you a link, or you can look it up yourself if you feel more comfortable doing that.
Does this one come with a subscription card?
Yes. Between pages 146 and 147. The players poll and the subscription form are both on the same insert.
@@nintendopowercollectorsgui4579 Hmm I don't see the subscription form in your video. I'm a little confused. That insert in your video shows the players poll and the back issue/players guide order form. Where is the subscription form on the insert?
Nice!
Thanks!
I also have been looking for this magazine for quite some time and have had the image saved on my phone
If I come by a second one I'll send it your way
wow man you might have the most extensive NP collection in the world!
Thank you. It's a work in progress. I'm sure many people have larger collections than me! I'm just the only one who made videos, so it just looks like that. Haha
Cool video! I appreciate your content. I was always envious of people that had Nintendo Power magazines because I never had them growing up. Subscribed!
Thanks! I felt the same way. We had enough for what we needed growing up, but not much more for things like video game magazines, so I would get them when I could, and always looked for used or last months copies from a few comic and card shops that were near my house. I was able to get a subscription later though.
Also, interesting thought for the apple jacks box promotion but the Nintendo Power says: "Your Free Issue. Keep it Coming" But based on the promotion, The person paid $1.85 for the mail in copy, it was not free. I am guessing it was a promotion with Nintendo power where if you subscribed you got the first 1 free, then this was the free one. Or Nintendo made a mistake with an online customer and they were more helpful in the 90's. And this is how they reimbursed a distraught customer. I feel if it was the Apple Jacks Cover there would be a lot more out there, would not be as obscure.
I agree that they may not be corolated, but its really the only possibility I've come across in many years. Even though the person did pay for it, it may have been considered "free" if it was to cover the cost of shipping. Many commercials on television had may ads that would offer "free" items, and then follow it with "just pay $×.×× for shipping and handling," so it would be more of a qualified "free." But I agree that I could be wrong. I'd love for someone to have more information about it. Plz let me know if you ever come across anything.
@@nintendopowercollectorsgui4579 very good point. That could definitely be the case. I’ll keep looking into it myself. I have not seen that variant myself. I’ll let you know if I find anything
Hi, Great channel! Been watching your vids since you started. Just wondering as I have just recently finally obtained every issue of Nintendo Power, how do you store your magazines? I want to either store them properly or display them but displaying 285 issues seems very hard. Thanks again and keep up the great content
Hi, thanks! I have my magazines in BCW magazine polypropylene bags with BCW boards for stability. I currently have them displayed in some 3x3 cube organizers I bought from Walmart and stacked on top of each other. I'm not fancy.
@@nintendopowercollectorsgui4579 does one of those 3x3 cubes from Walmart hold all 285 if I wanted to display all of them?
@OPTICGAMER747 each cube holds about 35 magazines, so it could fit about 315 total, so 285 would fit. But if you start to add the newstand editions from 222-285, then you would need more then just a single 3x3. I have two 3x3 organizers stacked onto top of each other, and then two 1x3 against the 3x3's giving me a combined cubical arrangement of 6 tall and 4 across.
@@nintendopowercollectorsgui4579 Cool! Thanks for the info. I currently just have them boxed and boarded but in giant totes. I’ll look into the Walmart cubes. It looks great. Appreciate it and keep up the vids. I love the content
SEALED!!!
Hi there - I recently subscribed. I want to ask, are the sealed copies like this one originally Canadian?
Although this one is Canadian, there are also US variants of this issue sealed. Most of the US sealed magazines after 222 had a renew insert stuck onto the cover, and thats why it came in a polymer bag, but this issue specifically I've seen sealed in a polymer bag along with the Luigi special collector's poster magazine that came out around this time. But there are a few US magazines that came sealed with extras in them but they were newsstand editions.
@@nintendopowercollectorsgui4579 That's interesting. Do you know what issues in the US were sealed?
Your collection is amazing dude!
Thank you. It's a work in progress
I just got a partial set of these (41 cards, missing the last 9) that someone listed on ebay for 19.95 as Nintendo Power Cards. I'm a card collector and expected to get them in poor shape, but except for 1 that had a bit of surface damage (indent that you can only see in the right light.) they are all mint or as close to mint as fresh out of pack would be. I'm contemplating sending the key cards to be graded.
hey you owe me
Some copies of this have those little white spots on the cover and others don't. Do you know if that's damage or did some actually have those spots?
I'm not sure, but I definitely know what you are talking about. It might just be a defect that happened to a few batches.
I have the full set of these from when I ordered them as I kid. I can't seem to find anyone who even knows anything about them, even in the retro video game community. Any idea what the value might be?
That's great! Unfortunately, as far as value, it fluctuates. I've seen the set sell for a ridiculous amount during Covid, but it has dropped now. Latly, I've seen a few collector's edition sets sell from $300-$700, with the usual selling price around $450-475ish. But it all depends on who is looking and how many are available for sale at the time.
Someone listed individual cards on eBay between 40-60 each, and have sold a few....most of the ones sold even have damaged/white corners.
Can you share a link to the eBay listing?
@@CurtisWilliams0817 just search for "nintendo power club cards collector's edition" and they will come up.
41 to 67? But 71 had megaman x power cards. Are you missing cards?
Hi, yes, other issues have cards, but they are not the Power Challenge Trading Cards.
@@nintendopowercollectorsgui4579 so what other issue have cards?
I can't find the list I had on my phone, but if you keep watching the short videos about what comes in each magazine, I show them in those videos. Some I remember are 73 had DKC cards 75 had virtual boy cards 79 had DCK2 cards 98 had star fox cards
@@nintendopowercollectorsgui4579 that would great thank you
Hey I recently picked one of these up but I have two mewtwo Pokémon card inserts. Is it fake it seems extremely real??
It is most likely an error. A card got stuck, or two came out by accident. Pretty cool though.
My Nintendo power issue 52 trading card is different
Some of the issues did have different cards. It seems a large percentage of the issues had similar cards, and a smaller percentage had different cards. The renew covers, and renew icon covers had different cards in them also many times.
I’ve been looking and I can’t seem to find out, where did the nes and super nes power indexes come from?
If you are asking about the 3 indices( Index, 2nd edition, and 3rd edition) the first index was made available for purchase in the Nintendo power supplies catalog that came with issue 54, and then in subsequent supplies catalogs you could purchase the second and third edition.
Interesting, mine has a different subscription card/pages. It's the "power to the player" ad that talks about an iron on decal and folder that says "power underground".
Cool! Could you email some pictures if you ever have a moment? I'd like to see the ads and the covers. Thanks!
Got em! They’re super rare! Nice collection!
Thanks!
🤪 'promosm'
One thing I noticed was that I have the Canadian subscription version of this issue and there is no evideance of the tearouts for that Product Maintenance and Troubleshooting guide. Which makes some sense, since it only lists all these service location/numbers across the US.
That's really interesting. Thanks! If you have any more information about other issues that are Canadian variants, please share in the comments. I know it will help those collecting Canadian variants. Thanks so much!
Wonder if the cards with missing numbers were removed from the final list before production, or if somebody was just bad at counting
They state they are the "best cards from the first year" but I don't know who would have actually considered those specific cards as "the best". They missed a number that should have made the list and some of the cards really shouldn't be part the collector's set.
Are Nintendo Power cards worth anything?
As a set, with all the variants, yes. Individually, the price is not too high unless it's the spy vs spy variant. That Individual card can be expensive if the person knows what they have.

I wish Nintendo kept making Nintendo Power.
Me too!
Just discovered this channel. Awesome content!
Thank you! Hope it helps with collecting.
great video!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Love the picture of Luigi jumping his motorbike
any mariokart cover is great!!
@nintendopowercollectorsgui4579 I also like the picture of Mario on his bike
Love the cover art with Mario posing on the kart
Yeah, they did have some clever covers.
@@nintendopowercollectorsgui4579That's my favorite image of Mario
I think mine is still the mario 3 cover on number 11, but its because of how much of a connection to mario 3 I had in the past. But this cover is swag.
@@nintendopowercollectorsgui4579And Mario's the reason haha
@@nintendopowercollectorsgui4579 I also like the second photo of Mario standing in the kart
appreciate it
You're welcome Kingsley! Thanks!
So the Nintendogs Magazine is only included with the Canadian variant?
It's included in the US variant also.
@Nintendo Power collectors guide Good to know, thank you! I've been buying Nintendo Power magazines recently, and your videos showing what a complete one includes have been helpful
You are welcome! If I get a US variant for a decent price, I'll reshoot the video to replace this one.
This is why you're the GOAT
🐐
Thank you, but I'm far from the GOAT! Check out the addendum video to this one for the other 2 "variant" cards I didn't cover in the main video. There should be a link at the end of the video.
Hey man love your videos . Was curious are willing to sell any extra issues u have . I’m looking to buy . Wanted to get into collecting myself . The names Rocky . Please let me know . .
Hey Rocky. Thanks so much. Unfortunately I don't really have any extras right now. I'm sorry : (
It’s no problem man . Luckily I was able to get me some recently at a local retro game store and there’s this guy who runs a big yard sale business who’s supposed to hook me up with more . Like I said I’ve been a huge Nintendo fan my whole life . I grew up in the 90 s playing the nes and snes and all the other systems . I never had any Nintendo power magazines growing up and I would love to own every issue like u do . Your very blessed to own every copy especially to have some sealed and with all the posters . But if u ever do have any extra magazines u want to sell let me know . Thank u . I’m subscribed by the way
Thanks so much. I will definitely let you know. I only had a few nintendo powers growing up and only was able to get a subscription when I was a bit older because we really didn't have the money to spend on it. But I always wanted to have them, and now that I'm older, I was able to put together the set I never had. Slow and steady wins the race. If you are not in a hurry, you will be able to put most of the set together at a reasonable price. Just keep your eyes open for the deals, and you'll catch them when they appear. And enjoy the hunt along the way!!!
Do you have a review of the Nintendo Power Advance Issues? There were only 4 issues and it was specifically for the Game Boy Advance.
I don't, and I never thought of it actually. That's a good idea. I'll do that next time I record. Thanks!
Is this the first Nintendo Power to feature the GBA?
@@nintendopowercollectorsgui4579 Does it mention the GBA at all in this issue?
Yes, on page 108 it shows the GBA connected to a Game Cube, and page 110-111 has the article "Introducing Game Boy Advance
@@nintendopowercollectorsgui4579 Good to know, thank you!
Happy new year!
Let's hope its better then the last couple have been!
p̲r̲o̲m̲o̲s̲m̲
Hey thank you so much for uploading this I know it was a year ago but I needed this to repair one I have
You are very welcome. I'm happy it helped!
What's the name price difference? It's hard to find anything on the shelf version
Im not completely sure about the question, but the newsstand edition was 5.99 us when it came out on store shelves.
These are great videos; it's really helpful to understand what should come in each issue. On a related note, do you have another channel that goes over what is included CIB for Gamecube games? Sometimes it's tough to figure those out as well.
Thank you very much. I'm glad they helped you. I mainly just collect nintendo power magazines, So as far as systems and games complete inbox, my knowledge is very limited.But it would be an awesome idea for someone to do that.
