After the video game crash of 1983, video gaming was taking the world by storm, and Nintendo was at the forefront of the industry. One of the most iconic aspects of Nintendo's early dominance was their magazine, Nintendo Power shepherded by Howard Phillips and Gail Tilden. For years, this publication was the go-to source for news, reviews, and tips about all things Nintendo. It was a beloved part of gaming culture, and many fans have fond memories of reading each issue cover to cover.

But as the gaming industry evolved and the internet became more ubiquitous, Nintendo Power began to struggle. Print magazines were falling out of favor, and even gaming journalism was shifting away from traditional print media. Nintendo Power attempted to adapt, moving from print to digital, but it was ultimately unable to keep up with the changing landscape of the industry.

In this video, we'll take a deep dive into the rise and fall of Nintendo Power. We'll explore the impact that this iconic publication had on gaming culture, and we'll examine the factors that ultimately led to its decline along with it's legacy lasting through today. If you're a fan of retro gaming, nostalgia, or gaming history, this video is not to be missed.
