Nintendo Power

Spiraea · 12-07-2006, 03:49 AM

So now that I have a Wii, I'm at a dilemma. A couple of days ago, I got an offer in the mail about restarting my subscription to Nintendo Power and receiving a free Offical Player's Guide for Twilght Princess along with a TP Soundtrack CD. I'm a sucker for video game soundtracks and the Player's Guide would be nice to have. But on the other hand, now that I have my Wii...it came along with an offer to get an awesome Mini-Wiimote Keychain Light! (with subscription)

Now I can't decide which to go with! I wish they could give me all three!

Which would you guys go for?

I registered my Wii with Nintendo and then bought 2 VC games on got 3 free months of Nintendo Power, can't beat that.

Seriously!?

If you register three products (systems or games) from Nintendo, you get 3 free months of Nintendo Power as well.

^ That's how I got my first subscription. By registering my Gamecube, DS Lite, and New Super Mario Bros. I've been wanting to sign up for a year of it but I know these type of magazines will eventually start adding extra cool free stuff to get people to subscribe (i'm a sucker for freebies also haha) and now that they have, I can't decide!

so by spending about 150 bucks you get like 2 dollars worth of paper with some nintendo stuff printed on it for free. Thats an amazing deal.....

It is if you spent that 150 bucks anyway and the $2 worth of nintendo printed paper is cool and enjoyable.

...I don't believe I follow. What in the world are you talking about spending 150 bucks on?!

I'd subscribed if they had super cool stuff only, like if they gave coupons out too that could be redeemed anywhere that sold Wii games. Like $10 off. If they had that, I'd subscribe right now.

Wish they had Demo Discs for the Wii like the Xbox and Ps mags do then i would subscribe..... till then no real need i can read reviews for free on the net since the mags have no real perks anyhow..

hes referring to someone buying a GC, DS and new Supper mario bros and got 3 free issues..... that would be where the 150 came from....

I was overall just making a point about how Nintendo makes alot of money, and giving away a 3 month subscription is pretty much nothing, you think they would atleast do a year for all the support us loyal fans show them.

that and Demo Discs!!! lol that would not cost them anymore as publishers of games i am sure would be more then willing to help with costs of discs to have their games on it.... i dunno why they have not done this yet...

I enjoy it but obviously, not everyone does. It may be because my internet connection isn't that great so via Nintendo Power, I can keep up with all the latest reviews and newest screens. Plus a free game poster every now and then is great :P

It took them MONTHS before they ever sent out my first issue. I wasn't really expecting it at all when it finally showed up in the mail way long after I forgot all about it. The other two issues followed monthly after that as they should've.

ya Nintendo power magazines are usually good, lots of walkthroughs and cheats and stuff, well there was back in the day. I remember gettin one with a Donkey Kong Country walkthrough in it, in about 1995.

Blipstein · 12-07-2006, 08:47 PM

I cant believe Nintensdo Power is still around. I remember I had a stack of those mags when I had the NES.

intekmdma · 12-07-2006, 08:49 PM

hmmm free mini posters every while... i will register to that then ><
