As someone who has every issue of Nintendo Power ever printed, I am delighted to see it return. I think future podcasts should have game tips and strategies, a la Classified Information and Counselors' Corner.
That would be cool, but honestly I don't see a podcast being a great format for game tips or strategies. It worked wonderfully in the magazine, especially since there wasn't the massive internet resources that are available now. I think focusing on the behind the scenes or detailed pieces of a game is more interesting, since it is incredibly insightful.
Aonuma-san already said he's glad to finally complete the game but would love to keep adding ideas in later. Might be implying DLC might stop or might be continuing in the future.
Nintendo Power is back! This was on the Nintendo subreddit a few hours ago and I'm not surprised that they uploaded this to RU-vid. Cheers for nintendo!
you are crazy, they are not even rivals. This will obviously be superior to anything gamexplain has, while they record a 3 hour talk discussing THIS podcast.
As far as Nintendo focused podcasts go, IGNs NVC is clearly superior to the "fanzine" podcasts mentioned. This was good, but a podcast from the company itself loses on the fact that they never will critizise themselves.
I really liked this!! And wow, in one day Nintendo begins a podcast, releases new iMessage stickers, and confirms Super Mario Odyssey’s OST to launch on iTunes!! I love all the branching out!!
Sadly, the Mario Odyssey music on iTunes will just be a 12-song music selection rather than the full OST, 4 of the selected songs being variations of Jump Up Superstar
I think Getting interviews on here is a good start. Personally I'd like the name "Nintendo Power" live up to itself a bit better. Include strategy tips, reader mail, previews, maybe a short cartoon invoking the old comic strips we use to get.
it has nothing to do with censorship, it just happened to release right when the ds was new so it wasnt a smart business decision to release something for dying hardware
I had the first issue of Nintendo Power magazine, and now, I have the first episode of Nintendo Power podcast. It's amazing how much things have changed, except for the fact that Nintendo still makes some of the best games ever. :)
Feedback: 1) make it a video too 2) distribute via all channels (ie Apple Music/podcast) 3) double down on the retro theme - relate new systems to old systems, talk about old games, be retro too 4) follow Nintendo powers table of contents - letters, artwork, tips, etc. Mimic the magazine. Good luck!
I'm so glad to see Nintendo Power return in any form. I had been reading it ever since I was little with some earliest things I remember reading being a article about the original Animal Crossing and another one about Luigis Mansion. I kept getting Nintendo Power all the way to the very last issue. I lost so many over the years (Because I was a kid) but now that I'm a adult that can buy his own things online I have made it my goal to complete my Nintendo Power collection because I want to relive the articles I read back in the early 2000's and even read "new" ones
How about a similar format to the magazine? Letters to the editor, strategies, classified information, previews, interviews, reviews, giveaways(?)... This is a great first step though. Welcome back, NP.
I really appreciate that this is a real podcast with honest discussions and interesting talking points. Really relieved that this isn't just another avenue for advertisement.
Thank you so much for doing this. A modern take on Nintendo Power is really welcome these days, and I would definitely love all the insider tidbits that made Nintendo Power so unique! Please get more time with Devs!
Very impressed by how open Nintendo was in this, not holding back for PR purposes, rather, just talking naturally about games in 2017 and employees' experiences :) very much enjoyed it
*Wow it’s back.* I have (almost 😪) every issue of Nintendo Power and this podcast is a joy to listen to. Also the fact that it’s *free* makes it 100x better. Great job, Nintendo! Keep it up!!!
I have got to say - WELCOME BACK! I always knew you guys would come back one way or another eventually. Who knew you guys would embrace current trends though? Here's hoping you guys are here to stay. Looking back, it's been 10 YEARS since I appeared in the magazine in July 2006s Community section... man that was fun. ;P
Thank you so much for bringing back Nintendo Power as a podcast. I just found this while looking up news on Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Thank you again for reviving Nintendo Power in another form..."Now you're playing with power"
:D Imagine my surprise when I ready 'Nintendo Power' in the title!!! I was a LONG LONG time subscriber to the magazine, getting promotional videos for Donkey Kong Country, Nintendo 64, Diddy Kong Racing, and... wait for it... POKeMON (which is what got me into the series) All memories aside, it was fun to listen to this podcast! It gave me something to listen to while playing my Switch and/or 3DS!!! Thank you Nintendo for creating this Podcasts!!! I'm sure I'll be listening to each and every one from now on!
So awesome to see an official Nintendo podcast! I would love to experience a better quality production that isn't so laid-back as every other podcast. The interview on the 2nd half was absolutely great! Reminds me of the Iwata videos. I love this exclusive detailed look into the creation/making of games. So more of that! Maybe peek into the lives of third-party devs. Have some more awesome director/producer guests. Enjoyed the quiz! Really love the idea and look forward to more podcast content!
My first Nintendo Power ever, and it’s revived in the best year Nintendo had in years. It was great listening to the podcast! Many more to come I hope!
This is a Nintendo Podcast so there isn't much more you can do to improve it but showing gameplay footage of the games you're discussing during the podcast in the video you post to RU-vid would make the Podcast fell complete. It's great that we finally have an official Nintendo Power Podcast and I look forward to more episodes.
I find this podcast a coincidence for me because I recently heard of Nintendo Force magazine, another passion project from people who loved Nintendo Power magazine. Anyway, I'm glad Nintendo Power is coming back in a way many people can enjoy it. Keep up the great work.

This is awesome:) I am only 18 so I couldn't be with Nintendo power from the beginning but I was subscribed to the magazine for about a year until it was cancelled. So glad I can be here for the first ever Nintendo power podcast now!
