Title: WTB Club Nintendo Magazines.
Post by: DahrenDreamcast on November 17, 2015, 04:38:19 pm
(Based in the UK)

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.

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.
