[[File:NintendoPower1_cover.jpg|200px|thumb|The first cover of Nintendo Power featured a clay sculpture of [[Mario]] from [[Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA)|Super Mario Bros. 2]]. As Nintendo admitted later, the colors red and blue were accidentally reversed.]] '''Nintendo Power''' is a gaming magazine created by [[Nintendo]] Co. in order to spread news of products created and endorsed by the company. Nintendo Power was first published in [[July]] of [[1988]]. It often features letters from readers and, before the revamp of [[2005]], lots of fanmade artwork. Many issues have miniature [[walkthrough]]s for a new and/or upcoming game. The magazine used to be criticised by [[gamers]] for it's inflated reviews and superfluous content. Everything was seen by many to be completely skewed in favor of [[Nintendo]], even the games that weren't very good. In [[June]] of [[2005]], Nintendo Power underwent a makeover, including more competent reviews and more in-depth features to answer these criticisms and make it more of a respectable publication. Some felt that the redesign made the magazine less unique and more like every other gaming magazine, such as [[Game Informer]] or [[Electronic Gaming Monthly]]. The publication will cease after December 2012. [[Category:Video game magazines]]
