  1. i too am confused about the lack of an AC cord. is it made to use with the current 3ds one, or is it a must-buy?
  2. both systems are nigh-identical as far as specs go. their setups and menus are quite different. the two things that should be your deciding factors are: 1. what system do my friends have and play on so we can play together? 2. what system-exclusive titles am i most interested in playing?
  3. my favorite N64 game were anything that i played multiplayer with my friends. WCW/NWO Revenge and Goldeneye 007 we could play for hours (and did on many occasions). Ocarina of Time is a masterpiece, and i still go back and play Mario 64 sometimes too.
  4. i agree with everything here, but i believe the 15 year cut off is mainly for the publishers to see what is going on. Sure, we have no right to scan and share these magazines as if they are our own. However, between the "we only scan mags 15+ years old" and "we'll take it down if the publisher asks us to" attitude, the site is quite likely to avoid any legal complications.
  5. i got mainly decorations for my bar. it's a personal bar in my basement, not an actual establishment. but got a number of limited edition Miller High Life mirrors, along with a custom sign made by a publisher friend. very cool stuff! well at least now you won't shoot your eye out.
  6. Happy Festivus from me to all of you also!
  7. theoretically possible, but i'd say it's pretty unlikely for GameFan to email and say "go ahead and put up our magazines for free download"
  8. i don't really have anything too rare or whatever, but i value them regardless: a Virtual Boy with about 8-9 games. all the common ones. still waiting to find a cheap copy of Jack Bros. (U.S. version) someday. i have 150+ games for my (top-loader) NES. had to build a shelf to hold them all. most expensive games are probably Final Fantasy 1, Bubble Bobble 2, Adventure Island 3 (is that still rare? it was for a while). But also have all 6 Mega Mans and just an excellent collection all around. tons of great games. i think one of my next purchases will be a working ROB with Gyromite. gotta keep an eye open for a good deal on one.
  9. backwards compatibility IS a big deal to me. i like the idea of buying a new system and ditching the old one, but not losing any playability. one of the biggest selling points of the Wii-U WAS the BC. not just with the games, but with the controllers and accessories too. one of the reasons i never bought a PS3 is because when the price finally dropped into my range, the BC was gone, and the older systems that still had it had gone up in cost. i've got 5 systems (Atari 2600, NES, N64, PS2, Wii-U) hooked up to my two TVs right now. if i add any more systems i have to unhook something else, and i just don't want to do that, so i've hit my max.

  11. this is an awesome name for a mag and it prompted me to download and read it. i was saddened to learn that it was put out by imagic (should've looked at the cover closer) and it wasn't that great of a magazine. thanks for preserving it tho!
  12. i've mourned the loss of instruction manuals for a few years now. as a kid, when i got a new game, i would pour over the details of the booklet, taking in the artwork, immersing myself in the lore of the game's world. Plus, you could do that in the back seat on the way home from the store. By the time you got home, the excitement was overwhelming and you couldn't wait to meet character "X" or try out some of the moves you just read about. my first step is still to open the case and check for a manual. i would always get excited about the first party Wii ones because the book looks thick. But then you realize they print it in three languages and really don't give you too much for involved information. sigh....
  13. that is shady as hell. i'd keep calling until they made it up to me.
  14. i saw this a week or two ago. love the box and the tokens, but the board itself just didn't catch my heart like i thought it would
  15. Nintendo Power #25- missing page 18.
  16. that is a fantastic collection and i'm more than a little jealous. but $950 is WAY more than i'd be willing to part with for them.
  17. ugh is all i can say. people were already confused about the DS/DSi/DSLite/3DS/3DSXL/2DS deal. why are they making more variations? if it's a significant improvement, it's time to start over with the naming scheme. if it's not a significant improvement, hold off until it is.
  18. firstly, this site IS all about the preservation of the magazines and making sure they're available. as far as "ownership" of scans or whatever, and someone can correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe that anything that you scan you are free and clear to upload wherever you want and do with as you please. if you wanted to post it here and at archive.org, there'd be no problem with that. some people prefer to only have scans (or whatever) on sites that they support and request that it stays certain places (which is why you may find a scan online for a magazine but it's not available here). But if it's a scan that you yourself are scanning/uploading, you can do whatever you want with it.
  19. i couldn't find it anywhere on the net, so i ended up buying a copy and scanning it myself. hope this helps out anyone else that is looking to complete their collection! supplement 012 - Classified Information - https://www.mediafire.com/?kj8mdc6hbmkub90
  20. a ton of congratulations! i've been part of the married club since 8/3/12 myself, and i must say it is wonderful! wishing you many many, years of happiness!
  21. well this latest update for the Wii-U gets you a quick start menu if nothing else.

    NP #001

    couldn't find a good place to post this. doesn't really warrant a new thread but wanted to share anyway. picked up the first issue of Nintendo Power off ebay the other day, and it got here today. i've looked at the scans a dozen times, but holding the actual issue in my hands gave me the infamous nostalgia blast. sat right down and read thru the whole thing for the 10000th time. that of course prompted me to play the NES (my favorite system). it was like being 8 years old all over again. but this time with beer.
  23. very cool! thanks for sharing and helping to improve the site!
  24. and now, six months later, i see that Supplement 012 would be a 36 page "Classified Information" insert. any help? and is there a list somewhere of the inserts available? it seems like every time i turn around there's something that i can't find. grrrrr....
