For those of you who don't know, Nintendo Power is a monthly magazine made by Nintendo. I recently bought a subscription to it, and wondered if other people here have one or read it.

The same as you. Since 2003 I suscribed. Although I lost many of them and I lost several posters. Through Nintendo Power's special offers on their Magazine, I was able to get SMA4:SMB3 with a set of E-Reader Cards. It ruled.

Where's the option for "had a subsription, ran out, tried to renew, kept losing 20 bucks one way or another, took advantage of the 3 for free offer, ran out, trying to save up again while occasionaly buying a copy that seems worthy of 5 bucks"?
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

I got the AC:WW guide with my subscription. I was going to buy the guide, but when I found out that I could get an NP subscription for 3 dollars more, I got the subscription.

I have issues 38 and 50-140something. I have two copies of one issue and am missing the subsequent issue, can't remember the numbers.

I stopped subscribing when I deemed the articles there trivial, the opinions somewhat "forced", and determined my subscription not worth what I was paying for it. Your opinion of N.P. may vary drastically, but I think its quality deteriorated over the 8 or so years I got it.

Well I don't know what NP was like over the last whatever years. Although I miss the art section on the sides of the pulse section.

I had a subscription, but I guess I stopped reading after they changed it up.

I kind of like the new version, except for the loss of fan art, and no epic center. But everything else is good. Things I liked from this year in NP:

*The Twilight Princess trailer DVD from the July issue.

*NP 200 countdown.

*The big poster in the 200th issue.

*Inside Zelda section. :)

*All of the Mr. T references!

I agree about the Inside Zelda series.  That's been the best, consistent part of the magazine for me.  Hopefully, it will hold up at least until the game's release; I'm sure it will.

Next to that are the freebies.  It's cool getting a poster every month.  The stickers were nice, and the DVD was really nice.

I haven't subscribed to anything since Disney Adventures. BUT, I do read Nintendo Power whenever there's a new one at Kroger. And they made an HSR reference that I never caught! "Fanfreakintastic!"

I am subscribed to nintendo power. I love that magazine. I'm getting to old for my current magazine and I'm finding myself lacking the intrest to my current magazine. I'm a video gamer, not a girl-fashion magaziner.

Has NP rolled out their 201st issue yet? Because I haven't gotten it...I seriously hope my subscription hasn't run out.
