We're back in business! Thanks guys.

Hi There, Tried downloading some Nintendo Power and Gamepro Magazines and this was the message I got for each one. Did something happen?

I believe they're currently working on moving their downloads from Megaupload to other sites but it's a long painstaking process. Not everything is moved over yet.

My subscription ran out shortly after they announced they were ending publication, so I wasn't able to renew. I spent the last 5 or so months waiting for the next issue to show up at Barnes & Noble. Was able to snag a newsstand copy at BNN and wanted another one to keep sealed but a week later they were nowhere to be found. I had been subscribing since the Nintendo Fun Club days, I stopped for a bit during the Gamecube Era but started up again during the Wii. My wife actually e-mailed them to ask for one of those farewell letters since we're in the process of trying to collect whatever we're missing. Thankfully they obliged. It was a really sad issue. Especially at the end with Nester.

Here's what I got: Nintendo Fun Clubs 1,2,4,5,6 (missing that ever elusive volume 3 that goes for insane money on eBay) Nintendo Power Volumes 1-136. Then it stops for a while until Issue 198. I had stopped subscribing for a bit during the Gamecube Era. I started subscribing again and have just about all the issues right up until the last one (R.I.P :( ) I'm still working on collecting the missing issues. In fact the whole reason I found Retromags was because I wanted a way to read my Nintendo Powers on my iPad so that A: I wouldn't have to disrupt some of the older, more brittle issues from the 1980s, and B: Not have to paw through each issue to find what I'm looking for. So this worked out great. I *had* the first 100 or so issues of Gamepro but those are sadly lost to time. Another set of mags I'm glad is on this site. I actually miss the retro advertisements the most. I'm still a subscriber to Game Informer but as a former Gamestop Employee back in my college days who was required to push them on each customer I don't really have an attachment to them.
