I'm still not sure how many volumes/issues there were of the magazine...

I know I got at-least the 1st Volume free as a young kid...I can remember the glee when one came through the door for me when I was about 13 years old...(unexpectedly!)

Anyway....I'd love to read through these again...

If anyone has any for sale...please let me know...

I know they come up on ebay...will check there also.

Thank You.

:)

(EDIT - To confirm, I'm looking for the early issues of this magazine, that covered NES, GB and then SNES)

Were these magazines sponsored / endorsed by Nintendo?  For me, I love reading the magazines from the golden video game era, but even moreso, I love checking out the adverts and reviews for obscure items, which never amounted to more than a blip on the video gaming radar

Are you talking about the "Nintendo" magazine because in Europe we never got club nintendo magazines as far as i know. I think it was only a US thing but I may be wrong.

you can get a subscription regardless of where you live. I live in Bulgaria and I can still get a subscription to Nintendo's UK magazine

I can second that - it did come out here.  I found a Club Nintendo Magazine subscribe label in some bits a few weeks back, with their UK address (but no mags sorry Darren)!

Yes, I got the 1st volume free and paid for the 2nd volume IIRC. Had the card and everything.

Haha, that's cool, can you remember which issue?  It'd be great if you could find a copy of that one :)

I was 15...last year at school and I sent a letter in asking for a job and they put it in the letters section  :mario:

Club Nintendo magazine is different for different countries I think. We got it in Sweden too but it was the Swedish version made by Swedish Ninteno, different from the US or UK version.

I have bought and received some UK Club Nintendo mags and actually, pleasantly surprised how bloody good they are - they clearly knew the best games back then, lots of underrated gems in there with big previews and reviews.  

I'll snap and post scans hopefully tonight.  They are definitely UK-specific, not US Club Nintendo.
