'''''{{wp|Nintendo Power}}''''' is a [[Nintendo]] video game news and strategy magazine. It was Nintendo's official magazine in the United States and Canada from 1988 to 2012. It covered all of Nintendo's then-currently active systems (and some inactive ones, if there was any worthy news), along with new and upcoming games for those systems. ''Nintendo Power'' contained strategy guides, previews, reviews, and exclusive material not made available to other sources.
'''''Nintendo Power''''' is [[Nintendo]]'s official magazine in the United States and Canada. It covers all of Nintendo's currently active systems (and some inactive ones, if there is any worthy news), and all of the games on those systems. ''Nintendo Power'' contains strategy guides, previews, reviews, and exclusive material not made available to other sources.


On Monday, October 15, 2007, Nintendo of America sold ''Nintendo Power'' to {{wp|Future US|Future USA}}, a magazine company that produces video game magazines. The magazine remained the same except for a few small changes. After Future USA had taken over, the Player's Guide series was dropped (leaving [[Prima Games]] to produce the guides), and gifts could no longer be chosen with subscriptions, as the staff would instead choose one.
''Nintendo Power'' (or NP) celebrated its 200th issue in February of 2006, and had a major design overhaul in late 2005.


On August 21, 2012, Nintendo announced that it had opted not to renew its licensing agreement with Future Publishing and that ''Nintendo Power'' would cease publication 24 years after beginning. The magazine released its final issue on December 11, 2012. Five years later, on December 21, 2017, Nintendo of America began a podcast called the '''''Nintendo Power Podcast''''' with previous editor-in-chief Chris Slate discussing recent Nintendo-related events.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJH4veOEr0U First episode of Nintendo Power Podcast]</ref>
On Monday October 15th 2007, Nintendo of America sold ''Nintendo Power'' to Future USA, a magazine company that produces videogame magazines. The magazine remained the same except for a few small changes. Since Future USA has taken over, the Player's Guide series has been put on hiatus (leaving Prima to produce the guides), and gifts can no longer be chosen with subscriptions, as the staff will choose one.

==Comics==
[[File:Nester.jpg|thumb|The 20th anniversary comic]]
Several issues of ''Nintendo Power'' have comics within them, many of which make references to the ''Super Mario'' franchise of games or related media. These comics revolve mostly around the character '''Nester''', who plays various Nintendo games along with other characters. Originally titled "Howard & Nester" (stylized as "Howard & <s>Nester</s> NESTER"), the comics followed both the character '''[[Howard Phillips]]''' (based on Nintendo of America's then main spokesman and co-editor of the magazine) and Nester as they played games and gave out tips. When the real Howard left Nintendo, his character was likewise retired from the strip, leading to the comics being retitled "Nester's Adventures", with the comics now following Nester and his friends for several issues. After a long hiatus, another unnamed comic was made for ''Nintendo Power''{{'}}s 20th anniversary, which shows a grown-up Nester with an unnamed son. For ''Nintendo Power''{{'}}s final issue, a comic called "Nester & Maxwell" (stylized as "Nester & <s>Maxwell</s> MAX") was done as a callback to the original comic series where Nester and his son '''Maxwell''' talk about ''Nintendo Power''{{'}}s past.

|Nester is playing ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' when his son comes in with the 20th issue of ''Nintendo Power''. After talking about the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], Nester and his son watch ''[[List of references in film#The Wizard|The Wizard]]'', specifically mentioning ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' that is played at the end of the movie, and Nester mentions the [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' movie]]. At the end of the comic, Nester's son gives a tip on how to avoid the [[POW Block]] in ''Mario Kart Wii'' and the two begin racing against each other.

|Nester & Maxwell
|The final comic shows Nester reading the final issue of ''Nintendo Power'' in a room with many ''Nintendo Power''-related posters and merchandise, including a poster about ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and the clay models of [[Mario]] and [[Wart]] that was used for the first issue. In the second-to-last panel, Nester's son, Maxwell, invites him to play ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', to which Nester asks his son to create platforms to help him over difficult pits.
