History
Nintendo Power began as the several page long Nintendo Fun Club Newsletter, but quickly changed to its current magazine format. The magazine was edited at first by Fun Club "President" Howard Philips, an avid game player himself. Nintendo Power's mascot in the late 1980s and early 1990s was Nester, a comic character created by Philips. After Philips left the company, Mario became the new mascot.
Nintendo Power has also produced another series of strategy magazines called the Player's Guide. The first Player's Guide was simply called the Nintendo Player's Guide, featuring dozens of different NES games. It was quickly followed by a code/password book and the NES Game Atlas, a more comprehensive version of the original Player's Guide. Today each Player's Guide published features one specific game. The concept is now emulated by other publishing companies such as Bradygames or Prima for Nintendo and other video game consoles.
