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.

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.
