Just curious about everyones experiences with these. Personally, I only read the Mario and Zelda ones. Loved them both when I was younger.

Here is the Star Fox comic on Imgur, if youre interested (remove the space):

I loved those. It was the glory days of Nintendo Power. I would have been a huge manga magazine nerd if I'd been born Japanese.

I still own all the issues with the comics in them. Does anyone else remember Howard and Nester?

Read them all as they came out. Zelda one is my favorite. Have a collected edition from a reprint a few years ago.

Probably the only Mario Maker 2 level I'll ever create worth sharing.

I have the entire LttP comic book with the dragon on the cover, looks like it's worth $40-$60 these days.

It's now dawning on me after all these years that it says 'best of' on the cover. Do you happen to know if they put out more issues than what's included in that compilation? I still get a kick out of re-reading those and would love to track down other issues if they exist.

I love the one about the Stupid Bomb. They have a whole army of Shyguys armed with Stupid Bombs and a guy in the back asks if it's a problem if he dropped it.

All of them. Zelda's is the only one I really remember well, though.

One of my favorite little jokes in the whole series (one which I quote often in daily life) comes from that particular comic:

Toad in disguise: "Here's your Crunchy Cola, sir!"
Bowser: "*sipping cola* 'Bout time."
Snifit: "Sir! The Ultimate Weapon has finally been developed!!"
Bowser: "*sipping cola* 'Bout time."

Those are from before I got into Nintendo Power, I believe. They don't ring a bell.

I got a bunch of early 90s issues from a yard sale, so I read most of the Zelda and Star Fox ones. Surprisingly good art and coloring.

All four of them, and I got the Mario one ages ago while getting Zelda from the Viz collection:

Also still have the Nintendo Power issue with the unreprinted Mario VS Wario story. The one involving them trying to get the Samus doll for the Princess.

Apparently a lot of lore from the Metroid comics were integrated into stuff like Dread and Metroid 2 remake

Love the sight gag of the text turning to stone too:

Wish I could find the full panel of Mario stomping on Luigi's back so hard that his heart burst out through his mouth and he had to stuff it back in.

None & I was a subscriber for a few years. I think I just skipped them thinking they were long-form Bazooka Joe style comics.

Omg that's hilarious but also, I do remember this! I think someone posted this comic on here once before, didn't know it was from nintendo power magazines
