I am looking for all 9 issues of Nintendo Power Flash except #2. Must be in very nice condition. Please let me know if you have any for sale. Thank you

NES - Purchased Excitebike along side of the pack-in Super Mario Bros. SNES - I didn't get this until 1993 surprisingly. System came with Super Mario World, but I bought Super Mario Kart and Pilot Wings in addition. N64 - Super Mario 64 Gamecube - Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2 Wii - Zelda Twilight Princess Wii U - New Super Mario Bros U and Zombi U Genesis - I believe the system I bought was packed with Altered Beast and I purchased Sonic as well. Sega CD - Dracula Unleashed lol Sega Dreamcast - Went a little crazy with this launch...Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, Blue Stinger, House of the Dead 2, Soul Calibur, Hydro Thunder. PS1 - Suikoden PS2 - Final Fantasy X PS4 - The Last of Us Remastered, Resogun Xbox - Knights of the old Republic TG-16 - My family actually won this system with 10 games in a raffle that was held at our local grocery store. Games were: TV Sports Football, TV Sports Hockey, Power Golf, Final Lap Twin, Victory Run, Devils Crush, Bonks Adventure, Tricky Kick, Keith Courage, and King of Casino. Gameboy - Super Mario Land and Baseball Gameboy Advance - Castlevania: Circle of the Moon and Tony Hawk 2 DS - Super Mario 64 DS 3DS - Street Fighter 4 Gamegear - Olympic Gold and Mortal Kombat

This one definitely needs to be preserved. No Nintendo Power collection is complete without it.

My dream Amiibo's are if Nintendo released a new Punch-Out game and released Amiibo's for all the fighters....Glass Joe, Soda Popinski, Super Macho Man...etc

We currently have 38 Amiibos, most of them I bought for my daughter, she loves the characters from the Mario universe, along with a few others like Kirby and Pokemon characters. I just want a few characters that I have a strong connection to, such as Little Mac, Samus, and Zelda characters. The only character I don't have yet that I really want is Ness, and I just pre-ordered Ryu.

I have all my old games systems currently hooked up. I have a dedicated game room for this, so clutter that was previously mentioned is not an issue for me. I play the NES most frequently, although lately I have been playing a good amount of SNES and PS1. I've tried emulation, it just doesn't feel the same. I can't articulate why it feels that way, for me it just does.

That was Final Fantasy 3 on the SNES. I rented and played it for somewhere around 8-10 hours straight. I began playing it around noon, skipped dinner because the game jabbed it's hooks into me so deep I couldn't get away.

Thanks for the response E-Day, that's a good assumption to go on for now. I thought this may have been brought up in the past. I used the search function to see if it had been discussed, but nothing showed. Perhaps I am using the search function incorrectly.

I haven't thought about this in many, many years. Does anyone here know if there was an official reasoning given behind why they skipped over numbering these issues. Maybe it was it just an error and they decided to never correct it?

I love a good podcast, I will definitely check this out when I get a chance.

I would not consider myself a fan of Canadian humor either, I typically don't enjoy the comedy shows we have here on television. However, Kids in the Hall is the exception. It tops all the other sketch comedy shows I have seen.

I listened to episode one last night, I thought it was very good. It's a little atypical to listen to a solo gaming podcast, but you did very well and was quite enjoyable.

Renegade Ops looks interesting, I think I will enjoy that.

Any music from any of the Kirby games would be very appropriate. Of course the playlist would not be complete without this version of Rainbow Road.

Areala - Thanks for the long-ass historical post. Very informative, I enjoyed reading it.

Oh my, The Raccoons! That was my show when I was a wee little boy.

I don't understand the hate people have for steam, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I respect their opinion. For me positives outweigh any negatives, which I have yet to experience any. I have purchased all my steam games on sale. Purchasing a game for $2.49-$4.99 on steam, where at retail stores the game still sells for $19.99- $29.99 requires little mental effort. I can load my games on any of my PC's, and I can avoid all the negative looks from people when they see a 37 year old standing in line at a retail store trying to purchase the same game a 13 year old is purchasing. lol

Here's a few that I think would be appropriate for your little girl to listen to.

My neighbors are loving it right now......

I think I got mine for Christmas one year when I was about the same age. It was indeed a good one. I never finished it as a kid, it wasn't until several years later that I beat it. I loved the map system, but I think it's the main reason why some dislike the game. It can be confusing, getting to the end of a route leads to a choice of what route to take next. Some routes have dead ends, which I believe many people avoided, but they were essential because they had important characters or items to discover. I have so many fond memories of the game, I tempted to fire it up right now. lol

The Yoshi Island on the 3DS was terrible in my opinion. It had such bland level design, and bosses. What makes a good Yoshi game is when they create such fun variations on the level design, which this new game has.

Condemned: Criminal Origins is indeed a great game. It came out during a time where developers seemed to have abandoned the survival horror genre. If it's free in the coming days, I am looking forward to playing it again.

Thanks for the heads up.

I bought Yoshi's Woolly World for my daughter yesterday, we played a bunch of that today. Technically I have not played it yet, I am just watching her play. It seems quite good though, it may actually be the first good Yoshi game since Yoshi's Island on the SNES.

I have embraced the digital gaming paradigm. For me it's just so much more convenient. I do the majority of my gaming on PC, for PC digital is super convenient, compared to how PC game used to be distributed. I get why people are are put off by digital, you don't get that backwards compatibility from one generation to the next.
