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.
Nintendo Power (or NP) celebrated its 200th issue in February of 2006, and had a major design overhaul in late 2005.
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 US 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.

Nintendo Power Advance
In 2001, to promote the launch of the Game Boy Advance, Nintendo published a quarterly spinoff magazine of Nintendo Power entitled Nintendo Power Advance, which featured news, tips and complete walkthroughs for various Game Boy Advance games. It did not last very long, and was canceled after only four issues. Mario, however, was featured on three of the four covers.
