I want. I want I want I want I want I WANT.

Where can you even find it anymore, though? I work at a grocery store, and we haven't carried NP in our magazine section since September. Haven't seen it anywhere else around here either.

You might want to look at GameStop or similar gaming stores.

I was offered an NP subscription at GameCrazy some years back when I purchased a DS game.

The internet pretty much killed video game magazines. Who needs to pay $5 for tips, tricks and cheat codes when you can pluck them off of the net for free?

Nintendo Power magazine coming to end still is a shame, though. My younger brother used to buy game mags when he was a kid. I remember the old Nintendo Power syndicated TV show. Talk about cheesy.

Some great games in there.

I like how DK is almost literally right at the bottom of the list. It's them officially saying "yeah, it's a classic, but we only got better from there!"

They even have Ninja Gaide: Dragon Sword on there! Granted that, its all the way back at spot #280, but its still great to see that Nintendo Power recognizes that this game exists.

I bought the last issue of Nintendo Power at Barnes and Noble today. It's a great send off to the issue and my favorite thing was probably the Nester and Max comic at the end.

As for the list, I love how they go into detail about their rankings at 50, with a few sprinkles here and there below that.

Is#1 Super Mario 64 or OoT? I know it's one of them.

Daxdiv · December 10, 2012, 04:19:40 PM

Ocarina of Time. Figures as much. Super Mario 64 is actually #14.

Dr. Ensatsu-ken · December 10, 2012, 04:25:54 PM

Ocarina of Time deserves to be #1 in my book. Screw any of you guys who disagree.

Gotta love these dedicated fanbases.

Finally found the last issue today. It's a pretty good issue, and a good send off for the mag.

Kiddington · December 27, 2012, 02:20:12 AM

Man, I wish I could find it. I've been looking everywhere for the damn thing, and nothing so far. Not even GameStop or the local Mom and Pop stands have it.

I'll probably have to end up overpaying for it on ebay years down the line. Le sigh...

Spiritual successor... hey, it's better than nothing!

You do not have a Barnes and Noble in your area? That's pretty much the only place in my area that still stocked Nintendo Power.

As for Nintendo Force, I like most of the names attached to it. I'm sure I follow a good number of these guys on Twitter.

Kiddington · December 27, 2012, 02:27:13 AM

Honestly, I never even thought to look there.

It's... kind of a ways out from where I'm at, so I don't go there often. Once I'm actually in town again, I'll have to make a trip down that way though.
