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.
Nintendo Power is back! This was on the Nintendo subreddit a few hours ago and I'm not surprised that they uploaded this to RUclips. Cheers for nintendo!
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
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
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.
This is amazing!! I’m so happy that Nintendo Power is back in podcast form! I was a huge fan of Nintendo Power magazine back in the day! Thank you so much for bringing the brand back in a fun and positive way. You guys rock!!
*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!!!
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!
This was a great episode. Awesome to see Nintendo Power still alive and I hope to hear my interviews like this with that minds that create all the games we know and love from Nintendo.
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"
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!
Love the podcast, fan of the old Nintendo power. The developer interview was great and would love to see more of those. I also enjoy the commentary at the beginning on games that everyone has been playing. Having a throwback to the old publication would be awesome in future episodes such as strategy tips and reading and answering listener mail.
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
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!
Really enjoyed this. Please keep this going :). I'd love to see this weekly but I feel a long form monthly with more depths would be really nice too. I'd like to see the show focus on insight on behind the scenes desicions. A look back at Nintendo through the generations and how they shaped the current success. I'd also like to hear the stories of staff members and how their love for Nintendo blossomed. I listen to a number of gaming podcasts and personal stories and behind the scenes stuff is always the best. Thanks for the great show I really enjoyed it :)
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 RUclips 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.
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.
Loved hearing from the guests! (Especially Kitt because i love Nintendo Minute) and also loved hearing about the development from Breath of the Wild! The thing i always loved about Nintendo power was looking at new games that were coming out and also getting a look at games i had never played before. Not sure how to incorporate that into a Podcast though. But DEFINITELY have more retro throwbacks!

*AN OFFICIAL NINTENDO PODCAST?!! AND IT'S NINTENDO POWER?!!!!*
It's a Christmas miracle! :'D
NintendoFan Really : D
Yep
agreed
I'm hyped too
I like it when it is just when one picture the whole time so if I'm doing something, I can listen to the Podcast!
*childhood flashes before eyes*
I remember the last Nintendo Power ;-;
Woobin The Scrub I really only followed their magazines for a year, but they still hold a special place in my heart
I saw this and I looked up at my poster from the last issue that’s been on my wall since 2012!!
OMG

InuYugiHakusho tried NF mag?
When you say every issue does that include the side/bonus issues such as the 20 Years Of Nintendo Power issue or all of the Pokemon specials?
Yes.
And they could have visual references in this format. Well, for youtube anyway..
That would be cool, but honestly I don't see a podcast being a great format for game tips or strategies.

Now you're playing with power!
Man, those magazines used to bring me so much joy back in the day
Now you're playing with Reggie is the new motto
switch power?
Intimidation I wish I had a nintendo switch :( but N64
Get the power, Nintendo Power!
"Strike me down and I'll come back in a stronger form"--Nintendo Power.
Juan Gonzalez _"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."_
Juan Gonzalez yes Nintendo power is a force ghost
Like a powered-up Pac-Man (Chiefs song).
An official podcast, nice thing! I love it
ye
This is better than Japan Time.

Hey! Roger!
:D
But is it better than China time?
Nintendo Power is back! This was on the Nintendo subreddit a few hours ago and I'm not surprised that they uploaded this to RUclips.
Cheers for nintendo!
Adding this to the list of things I never knew I needed
Now you're listening with Power!
SuperRichie64 not only that but there is still a chance we might get more zelda dlc!!!
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.
solitonmedic i never said it would happen i said there is a CHANCE it can happen...
Here from the future

It's just in name only. Totally different.

H uhh en
lol
I'm sad that Nintendo Power (magazine) ended before I was old enough to buy my own stuff. Super stoked to see this.
I absolutely love Nintendo Power! It should definitely come back.
NeoBlitz the Prinny try NF mag
It's not going to come back. Their deal with Future expired.
NeoBlitz the prinny i want some experience as well but I live in Israel so it's unlikely I will get it.
It is back my dude, just in Internet form! (It's not the same sadly but we can only be thankful its not gone forever😁)
I'd probably subscribe. I fuggin' loved getting those in the mail.
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!!
JacksonPLAYS Wait, that last one... WANT
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
Holy crap, Mario music on iTunes? Sweet, guess they were happy with how well 'Jump Up, Super Star!' did.
The ultimate rival to GameXplain discussions.
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.
Bruce Wayne well it was mostly a joke.
while switch force is sitting in a corner
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 prefer the GXplain discussions probably because I've watched them longer than any other podcast so I've grown to really like the GXplain team
We all want Nintendo power back
Woah, woah, woah! My jaw dropped when I got a notification about this. Please bring Nintendo Power back please!
Really glad to see the name "Nintendo Power" back.
Just wanna say, *incredible* name for an official Nintendo podcast.
Where's Mother 3
Edits: Thanks for the upvotes and dang look at these haters, it was just a silly, half serious question. Anyway, have a good day.
Not my problem.
japan. where its save from easy butthurt americans feeling the need to censor everything
Tha Bad Batter chill is game
Tha Bad Batter and Americans don't censor everything have you seen any of the games me make
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
Meanwhile at GameXplain...
I sense a disturbance in the force.
Can't wait for the six hour GameXplain video analyzing this podcast.
If the quality is high, once a month would be awesome! Quality over quantity.
Like the good old days
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. :)
This is a great idea! Miss Chris Slate from the Nintendo Power days!
HI TETRA I LOVE UR VIDS!!
Wished they bring back the magazine sometime in the future.
That would be so sick
We need that magazine back
internet killed magazines
NINTENDO POWER IS BACK! WHAT A SURPRISE! THANKFULLY IT ISN'T A ONE-TIME THING!
it's a miracle.
Also, the opening theme is nice.
Awesome! I'm glad that the podcast is being posted on RUclips as well. It's the most convenient way for me to listen to it.
Solid first episode!
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 think we need more Kit! He's just an amazing person, and I love his sense of humor.
The timestamps are very much appreciated
now your listening with power
Are these podcast gonna be on other platforms like Soundcloud, iTunes, Spotify, etc?
they are on souncloud gplay and ios app store as far i have seen
That was fun to listen to. ^^ Getting devs on these is really great. I hope there'll be many more episodes! >v
Wow an official podcast that's incredible. You guys could talk about games that couldn't make it out of the paper and how the company grew this years
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!

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.
I was too young to experience Nintendo Power. Would be awesome to see them bring it back!
This is amazing!! I’m so happy that Nintendo Power is back in podcast form! I was a huge fan of Nintendo Power magazine back in the day! Thank you so much for bringing the brand back in a fun and positive way. You guys rock!!
This is amazing. We need more of this.
*Official Nintendo Seal Of Quality Indeed*
Dang all platforms huh? Glad to see the push .
*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!!!
OMG so hyped
Reading the magazine as a kid I never imagined Chris' voice like this... it is so soft and soothing!
I hope we get loads of these podcasts. I'm very hype for more.
SteveNathn Gaming & More same

Wow it's back

Now your playing with power...NINTENDO POWER!
LOVED this episode. Probably one of the best interviews of the Zelda development team I’ve heard yet. 😊👍🏻
PLEASE make more!
I wish they still had the magazine. It was awesome.
This was a great episode. Awesome to see Nintendo Power still alive and I hope to hear my interviews like this with that minds that create all the games we know and love from Nintendo.
Great use of the Nintendo Power name for this podcast! Woo-hoo! Many great memories of flipping through NP issues over the years. :)
Excellent episode! I hope we consistently get more of these.
I really want Nintendo power back
This is amazing not only is Nintendo Power back but we finally have a podcast all about Nintendo content.
If you continue this podcast can you put it on Spotify, or something along those lines?
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"
Upload this to podcast apps
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!

That's awesome! Hope this podcast its here to stay!
I love this idea!

Nintendo Power!!!!!!
This was great! Thanks for putting it on Apple Podcasts, too. I subscribed and I look forward to the next episode!
Nintendo Should bring Back The Nintendo Power back!
Really enjoyed the interview with the Devs. Insight on game decisions is nice.
NINTENDO POWERS BACK BABY
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
Yeah Nintendo power is too freaking awesome it should come back
Yoooooo, a Nintendo Power Podcast with Chris Slate?!

GG. guess i'll *switch* between this and soundcloud whenever it uploads.
What you did there
*I see it*
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 RUclips 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.
NINTENDO POWER. I can now die happy.
I just finished watching this and it was AWESOME! It is so cool to see Nintendo Power back. Thank you Nintenod :)
*WELCOME BACK NINTENDO POWER*
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.
Is there going to be a Punch Out game for the Nintendo switch
Loved hearing from the guests! (Especially Kitt because i love Nintendo Minute) and also loved hearing about the development from Breath of the Wild!
The thing i always loved about Nintendo power was looking at new games that were coming out and also getting a look at games i had never played before. Not sure how to incorporate that into a Podcast though. But DEFINITELY have more retro throwbacks!
