The Game Boy Player's Guide (Plus NP Review #24)

Today I'm looking at a true blast from the past.

Nintendo Power Reviews - Episodes 20, 21, and 22 With Notes

 

Get the power! Nintendo Power! The review series has returned with new Youtube episodes.

Nintendo Power Review #19 - Volume 19

This issue is pretty bad...unless you like Sports.

Nintendo Power Review #18 - Volume 30

In this video: Final Fantasy II, very early SNES coverage, Game Boy Battletoads and its insane maps, and I no-sell Flintstones for the NES.

Nintendo Power Review #17 - Volume 24

In this video: Stuff happens. We've got Vice: Project Doom! Battletoads comics! Battle Unit Zeoth!

Nintendo Power Review #16 - Volume 55

I take a special trip to the Arc De Triomphe to cover the next exciting issue of Nintendo Power.

Nintendo Power Review #15 - Volume 59

Nintendo Power Reviews return with a look at Volume 59. Stay hot with the Power!

Nintendo Power Review #14 - Volume 18

The Doctor is in, as I break out some retro action figures.

Nintendo Power Review #13 - Volume 42

For some reason there's an error in the video in this one, just like the previous video, where you see a still shot for a minute or so. I haven't figured out what the issue is, and re-editing the video just moves this image-pause to a different part of the video. Whatever. At the moment I'm just happy to be able to get these videos online at all.

Nintendo Power Review #12 - Volume 73

Season 2 of the NP reviews continues with Volume 73, as my slow saunter through covering the first 100 issues continues.

Nintendo Power Review #11 - Ninja Gaiden 2 Strategy Issue

Season 2 of the Nintendo Power review videos begins with a very unusual issue.

Nintendo Power Review #10 - Volume 88 (Hot Sauce Challenge II)

In the season finale of the Nintendo Power review series, I take on another series of spicy wings while reading the Nintendo 64 debut issue. More episodes are in the works for later in the Summer.

Nintendo Power Review #9 - Volume 10

In this video, I cover the landmark Volume 10 of Nintendo Power. It's a true blast from the past. Also, the Joker is eaten by an adorable cat! Tune in now!

Nintendo Power Review #8 - Volume 40

In this cat-themed episode, I read about Star Fox and Soul Blazer.

Nintendo Power Review #7 - Volume 46

Back with another NP review video. I like the thumbnail on this one, even though it might have been more appropriate to save for something like the Mario World issue. This was a random choice from the shelf rather than something planned. That's right, this is the first randomly-chosen issue in these reviews. I lucked out, though, because it turned out to be the Dragon Warrior IV issue.

The hard camera was recorded at 1080p, the short close-ups of the issue are 4K. The final overall combined video is 1080p, so the close-ups won't look as good as they could...they'll still look pretty damn good though. One of these days I'll finalize a video at 4K, but only if all of the imagery in it is recorded at 4K so it isn't upscaling or downscaling or doing anything weird. Might try that for the next one.

Tune in next weekend for another review. Other site plans: The final WoW post, a finishing of Wild Arms 3, and a foray into the Mana series.

Nintendo Power Review #6 - Wrestlemania Week Edition (Volume 35)

In this one I go full WRESTLEMANIA, BROTHER.

Nintendo Power Review #5 - Volume 1

In this week's Nintendo Power video, I take on... Volume One!

Nintendo Power Review #4 - Hot Sauce Challenge (Volume 43)

In this episode I try reviewing a volume of Nintendo Power while consuming increasingly hot wings.

Nintendo Power Review #2 - Volume 71

Today in Nintendo Power reviews... the Cat Dance.

Nintendo Power Review #1 - Volume 34

Join me for the first of many video reviews of retro Nintendo Powers. Got more image-based posts on the way, as well.
