What a bummer. I had a subscription when I was young, even though I didn't own an NES of my own...always had to play at my cousin's house down the street, but dammit I knew all the secrets to Metroid thanks to the magazine.

Never was a big fan of the magazine, but a huge fan of this book. I still have two copies in very good to excellent condition. One copy still has all the stickers unused:

Reminds me of something they said from their 1st anniversary issue,"One year down, fun to go". Now it could read,"24 years down, none to go." It's a shame they came up short of 25.

In all honesty, the magazine had a great run.

I had just signed up for the Nintendo Fun Club and got the last two issues of the Nintendo Fun Club News when Nintendo Power came out. I can't remember if they automatically rolled you into a Nintendo Power subscription or if you had to subscribe separately, but I definitely had the first issue and subscribed for a couple of years.

It wasn't free for long. I think they just gave fan club members the first issue free. It sounds like it's really been dead for years if Nintendo weren't the ones making it since 2007.
