Final Nintendo Power cover revealed. I like the homage, but it's still sad knowing this will be the last issue.  :-\

Really awesome. I've got to track a copy down if I can. I don't know of any stores that carry it around me, so I guess I'll have to hit a few different places.

That cover is awesome.  My dad has been a subscriber since the 3rd or 4th issue, but his subscription ended this November.  I'll probably have to pick this one up, though.

I think I'll pick this one up.  Since I bought the first one I might as well buy the last as well.

I'm pretty sure all Toys R Us carry them, so you might want to stop by there. 

It's still a bit hard to accept that Nintendo Power won't be around anymore.  Another piece of my childhood that's completely blown out.

I was a Nintendo Power subscriber back in the late nineties. I never saw or read the first issue, but since this magazine played a central part during my days as a young gamer I'll do my very best to pick up the last issue.

The nod to the first issue is really cool. I have a lot of memories of the reading the magazine and bringing it to school to show to friends.

Really a fitting way to show how far Nintendo has evolved as a company. OH WAIT

I was really hoping they would do an awesome cover like that one.  I am saddened also, Nintendo Power was such a huge part of my childhood too.  I have been collecting more and more issues in the last year or two, and will have to pick up 2 copies of this.  I know every time I fill out the Club Nintendo surveys I always put that Nintendo Power is what influenced my decision to buy a game.
