R.I.P. Nintendo Power 1988-2012

[Brief Keef]

Bruh, I can still remember where I was when I first got put onto this mag.
I was walking with a friend, he pulls out this mag
I damn near have a heart attack because there is no internet first off, so this is how you would learn about new shyt
As a small kid who would STILL play SMB over and over at this time (I beat it easily over 100x)
I didn't even fathom the possibility of a sequel. I probably learned the word Sequel because of this game

Same shyt when somebody put me onto this...

they really dubbed SMW SMB4

RIP to the GOAT gaming magazine. I stuck with it with the dark N64 days and into the Gamecube era. With magazines dying out, its no wonder I cannot enjoy gaming like I once used to.

Being honest I thought they stopped a long time ago

The summer months were the worst, my mom would get the mail and save up 3 months worth of magazines and then let me believe that they got lost in the mail

Then on that first day if vacation, 8 hour ride from long island to ocean city Maryland, as SOON as we cross over the verrazanosoprano bridge, she would give me like months may-july to keep me busy

I appreciate that.....this was before game boy, fool only had a tiger electronics football game. You know the one

I hadn't touched one of them this century, and it was one of my least favorite mags (below GamePro), but RIP.
