I had a subscription for this back in the N64 era. Coincidentally, it started with the 100th issue.
At the time I also had a sub for EGM, so I always found it weird the way NP would spin things. Their steadfast refusal to acknowledge the PlayStation's existence (other than as a punching bag*) was striking. Like, when talking about the N64 port of Resident Evil 2, they referred to it as originally coming out for the PC. As though it was the PC version of RE2 that set the world on fire. If they couldn't get away with that, they would just begrudgingly call it the "PSX." As though not to call attention to it.
Another time, someone in their Reader Mail Player's Pulse section was lamenting, "Why don't they make RPGs anymore? I remember on the SNES we had Chrono Trigger and FF II and III and Earthbound. What happened?" Of course, this was in that post-FF VII heyday when the market was flooded with jRPGs. But not for their system. So Nintendo Power's response?
"We don't know what happened either. We'd love for developers to make more. In the meantime, you should check out the upcoming Aidyn Chronicles for the Nintendo 64!"
Even for a middle-schooler, their intent to willfully keep their readers in a bubble was too blatant. I let my subscription lapse around the end of the generation.
That said, once you waded past the PR and cheerleading, they had some really in-depth previews and mini-strategy guides (remember the 6-part Pokemon Power booklets? Still have those). Our family didn't get the internet until really late, so print magazines like Nintendo Power were invaluable for getting gaming news. I haven't read them in over a decade, but it's still sad to see them go.
*See their Christmas 1997 "Hot or Not" section where "Zelda 64" (a year away from release) was "HOT" and Final Fantasy VII (already out) was "NOT"
