The '''Nintendo Player's Guide''' was a line of strategy guides written and distributed by the department of [[Nintendo]] that also ran [[Nintendo Power]]. Originally starting in 1988 along with the magazine, the Player's Guides are dedicated pieces of literature that goes further in-depth of aspects of the game than the magazine typically went into. While the most current guide was typically sent to new subscribers for free along with their first issue, a Player's Guide being sent to every subscriber was a rare exception. the guides were most often sold seperately, with the ability to mail-order and find one at book and video game stores. While each guide initially covered several games in brief, this eventually evolved into each guide providing extensive coverage on a single game or topic. The guides were discontinued in 2007 after 110 guides. The main reasons for the discontinuation were the rise of independant guides like [[Prima Games]] and the the World Wide Web made the guides redundant.
