Nintendo Power Metroid Covers

Now it’s time for a very short post on Nintendo Power Metroid covers. My last post was all about Nintendo Power as a whole, but now I want to get more specific, and feature all the Nintendo Power Metroid covers. No commentary, really. I just thought it would be a nice way to show how the magazine’s style changed over 25 years. How American pop culture changed, really.

So let’s look at all the Nintendo Power Metroid covers. As always, check out Retromags for all the covers and full magazine downloads.

Did you enjoy seeing all these Nintendo Power Metroid covers? I sure did. They’re all really cool time capsules into design and advertising. And, most of them are really neat, or at least interesting. The most boring one is the final Metroid Other M cover, and that’s still really good art.

Let me know if you’re interested in other trawls back through video game magazine covers and features. The DK Vine facebook page does a lot of these time capsule dives, and I’d love to do more detailed ones if I ever have the time. (Or if I’m procrastinating on something more important like I am right now…)
