Nintendo Power Time Machine | Fun Club News | NES Magazine Review

[@chriskoschik391]

Brother, we need more of these. These are simply fantastic! Sad you made so few!

[@NESComplex]

I didn't know about his series at the time, but we have become friends ever since I found his videos. I asked him if he wanted me to change the name, but he's too cool. He said "No worries. Keep using it." I actually was a guest on his Podcast.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you so much! I'd be curious to see more about "The Official Nintendo Magazine". I haven't gone through all your videos yet (maybe you've already talked about them), but it would be cool to hear about your magazine memories.

[@NESComplex]

It's so funny how all of us NES - N64 era gamers share the Nintendo Power nostalgia. I really don't know why there aren't more videos about it.

[@Gamester81]

Classic stuff bro! Thanks for the shoutout to my NEStalgiaholic channel! I can't wait to see more of these episode.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you. It means a lot that you enjoyed it since... well... you were a source of inspiration... I have one more ready to go this Sunday and another in the works. I hope you continue to enjoy them. Thanks again, bro.

[@Nirodrit]

Wow. I'm not even nostalgic about these magazines and just from you telling your stories and commentating on it, I want to watch more. You're doing great man.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you. I am definitely continuing my videos. I have next week off so hopefully I'll get a few done.

[@NESComplex]

Sorry if I didn't get back to you sooner. I absolutely love the idea for your show! I currently use Adobe Premiere Elements 10 because it worked on PC and Mac (sort of) and was under $100. If I had a time machine, I would have bought Final Cut instead (I use Mac). It depends on what computer you have and what price you're willing to pay. Maybe your friends will pitch in. Three that I'd recommend are Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere (budget), and Final Cut Pro ($300 but easily the winner).

[@NESComplex]

Thanks. I've been having fun making them. I can't wait to put up episode 1, but I need to space them out a bit with something that doesn't require so much editing.

[@NESComplex]

Thanks, bro. I hope the series can get better. I just need to find the time to write up the scripts. The filming and editing on these is actually pretty easy.

[@LittleZemo64]

Thanks for making these videos. While my old systems and games are still in pretty good shape, my Nintendo Power magazines are all long gone. This is an awesome trip down memory lane.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you. I should have it up in a few days ...at the most by next weekend. I couldn't help but hear rinrygamegame when you said "Happy gaming". Cheers

[@zborgerd]

Ditto. My brother and I picked up the free first issue and I subscribed when they offered Dragon Warrior. I still have that cart! Best magazine promo ever!

[@hektorlinko]

Yes the glory days of the 80's. I would re-read these classics over and over again. In the morning, at school, at home etc. These years you are talking about are probably the best FUN years I remember growing up. Magical times they were. Great fond memories and it's a great blast from the past watching them here. A grand treat indeed. I do remember Kurt Cameron being on there laughing at him too. LOL. Any chance of you doing a video of The Official Guide Book?

[@NESComplex]

Thanks. That's pretty funny. I went "Inception" on you and planted nostalgia in your mind. lol. I'm actually editing the next episode right now. Hopefully it'll be up in a few days.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you Danny! I can always count on you to say an encouraging word. Just another reason why you are awesome!

[@wildguy3922]

I greatly appreciate what you are doing. I just came across your channel today and have already watched all of your videos. The sensation felt great flipping through my old issues of Nintendo Power as you discussed them. It's awesome to be brought back to those times. I hope you continue your videos =)

[@NESComplex]

Well I hope that I can make them for at least the first 50 to 70 issues... We'll see after that. They take quite a bit of work... if only i had a few weeks of solid free time, i'd make a bunch of NPTM and "Is It Fun?" episodes.

[@RE-LOOIE]

This video was absolutely incredible. The editing and commentary blew me away man! Really, keep it up. I cannot wait to see further episodes into this series.

[@WaxingnostalgicNet]

Thank you for emailing me, and thank you for telling me what the name of your KZbin channel was because you have great videos! I hope everything is going okay with capturing and editing. Keep up the great work!

[@NESComplex]

I'm working on the next episode right now... It's a bit more silly more along the lines of the AVGN episode.

[@GTV-Japan]

I remember this one and the first few issues of NP making the rounds in junior high study hall.

[@NESComplex]

Heck ya! I closely tie NP to school too

[@GTV-Japan]

anything to get thru the day ya know

[@NESComplex]

I like them both, but so much has changed. Maps and game tips and whatnot don't matter for magazines anymore. The internets are everywhere. I feel like I've grown with it, though. As a kid i loved the silly quirkiness and as an adult I appreciate the articles and insight into the industry. I guess I like both eras for different reasons. That was a great question by the way.

[@Evasius]

My first issue of Fun Club News was the last issue as well, then got the 1st issue of Nintendo power for free and was hooked.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you for the compliment. It means a lot!

[@GhostOfSide3]

Just gotta say, man. This series has inspired me to want to do my own magazine videos. Old magazines are really great.

[@TheShadyProfessor]

This series is going to become really popular now that nintendo power is going to end. It's like a retrospective of every single issue :O Its awesome

[@NESComplex]

Thank you very much. It means a lot!

[@NESComplex]

I've never done it before, but I'm sure there are some great tutorials already on KZbin!

[@martin2676565]

awesome job dude! keep it up, you remembered me good old times. that magazine was sick!

[@brianpiotrowski792]

These videos are the best! Nostalgia overload!

[@rexer2000able]

I'm about the age you were when these games came out, and I want to play these games more than I would ever want to get a Wii U.

[@NESComplex]

I know what you mean. I kinda feel bad for the current gen of gamers. Unless we take screenshots of Joystiq or ign we can't really save our memories on a shelf for future reminiscing. Old game magazines really bottle up the nostalgia. For me it's less about the information and more about the snapshot of gaming history. Anyway, good points MiiDylan.

[@HYRULEHISTORIA]

It’s so cool to see that old picture with tloz inserts. Out of curiosity was yours a 5 or 3 screw. I have a no rev 3 screw I’m trying to figure out what inserts would have come with

[@DanielWMcDonough]

I still have the old fun club magazines before they had Nintendo Power.

[@SirenoftheVoid]

so the magazine started as a mere newsletter in the 80s? i didn't know that! i was a 90s kid,so i couldn't have

[@NESComplex]

Thank you.

[@sennaho]

Thank you so much for this video! I am very much looking forward to see the next episode! This is a great idea! Happy gaming :)

[@NESADDICT]

Alright Im back on the Retro Rewind kick. I hope thats ok! :) Getting inspiration

[@supersnappahead]

Grea stuff. You're doing fantastic work on these videos.

[@Silvergun_Raven]

Great content you have here! I just subscribed to your channel and keep up the great work!

[@059hambone]

hey nes complex you know how when old games battery's die and they cant save for example NES, SNES, n64 games and you have to replace them??? well if you know how to can you make a tutorial video please thank you!!!!!

[@stevendudley5687]

I remember the Strategy Guide for Super Mario 3. Without it and the Game Genie, I would've never beat it.

[@JakalairVG]

This looks like a great idea, but a lot of work. It will also be cool, if you have them, to go back and see what the sign up bonuses were as time goes on. Cheers!

[@poozerman]

Hit the nail on the head with that dragon warrior comment lol who knew?

[@059hambone]

so do you like the old nintendo powers more or do you like the new ones more???

[@059hambone]

alright thx for looking at my question though!!!

[@Nintendolove27]

awesome...can't wait!

[@carlrygwelski586]

2:27 Are we just gonna ignore how similar this graphic looks to the "Stranger Things" logo

[@FullMetalJedi]

Join the Nintendo fun club today! Mac.

[@MrJohnnyPappis]

I absolutely love this! Keep it up!!

[@NESComplex]

Thanks Ron!

[@kevinbatdorf]

this video is like a time machine into YoutTube gaming history

[@retroislandboy9708]

PLEASE BRING BACK.....AND CONTINUE WITH..... NINTENDO POWER TIME MACHINE !!!!!!!

[@GamersReckoning]

Yes for the love of all that is good in this world I neeeeeed the episode about Ducktales and the Gameboy! :D

[@MrWahloh]

Great vid! Keep them coming :)

[@juanlmerafe]

Awesome video!!!!

[@EricBentleyEB5minus2]

I remember the Nintendo fun club, it was cool. But Nintendo Power was awesome

[@ryanphoenix]

1:57 Ah, the golden 1980's. ;) 2:10 The Nintendo Fun Club, eh? I never had that one. 2:27 Stuff and Things... awesome. :P 2:54 Say wha?! :O And then... there was... Nintendo Power! Dun dun dun! :D 3:50 Hahaha. That's right. ;) Gotta get that free game.

[@HardcoreGamer4Ever]

Oh, OK. I wasn't trying to start anything. I was just curious. Both shows are good, although I like your show more.

[@TRobotMike]

They hold up!

[@NESComplex]

Lol. That’s good to know. I find the early episodes hard to watch. Lol

[@fervcorsica3358]

Bro. You need to get back in the game (lol see wat I did there?), your opinion is brilliant and your humour is great. Do it man, life's too short to be an adult

[@NESComplex]

Thank you... I appreciate your comments. I’m not out of the game... I’m doing bigger projects that require more time and polish. I’m working on a Super Mario World Retrospective for either this Thursday or next.

[@fervcorsica3358]

@@NESComplex You should watch "KZbin doesnt want quality content" by The Geek Critique. He talks about the algorithm favoring channels with "quantity over quality", and it reminded me this channel. Maybe you could review a couple of Fortnite games to get more subscribers (lol jk)

[@NintendomaticMan]

I love your videos.

[@thatwasprettyneat]

i actully liked the fun club newsletter better; nintendo power seemed slightly corporate compared to it.

[@needmypunk]

games 31?

[@HardcoreGamer4Ever]

What about TheJohnnyKage? Weren't you influenced by him like you were the other three, at least in name? He has a series of the same name that was around before this. I prefer your show, though

[@NintendomaticMan]

I still love nintendo power.

[@etermal07g]

this kicked ass

[@xaer0knight]

Feed me MORE!

[@aaron71]

Just found the channel !! Instasub. Now to catch up !😅

[@400KrispyKremes]

Your show is better than TheJohnyKage.

[@NESADDICT]

Biding my time :)

[@manuel0578]

I didn't grow up with Nintendo Power, but I looked through all the issues from the first one to 1998. This magazine is nothing more than advertising. The 'reviews' consist of screenshots with captions. That's not what I would call a review. This magazine has nothing to do with any kind of journalism. Oh well...I guess it was made as advertising for kids...so all the glorification this magazine gets stems from nostalgia, I guess.
