Nintendo Power is an official print and online publication created and distributed by Nintendo. It started in August, 1988 as a subscription based magazine by an in-house journalism department at Nintendo of America. The magazine was a spiritual successor to the Nintendo Fun Club, which lasted for seven issues and was canceled in favor of its followup. Nintendo Power specifically provided new and upcoming information and content relating to the company, their games, reviews, and game strategies. Future US, the American branch of British publisher Future, took over production in December, 2007 with Nintendo still overseeing in a producing role. The Magazine was officially discontinued on December 2012 after 285 issues. The brand was revived on December 20, 2017 with the Nintendo Power Podcast, with new installments being made to this day. The podcast is run by many of the same staff that worked on the original magazine, and serves a similar function, albeit in a less formal fashion.

Several issues featured content from from the the Super Smash Bros. series, including development coverage and guides on features and how to play. Super Smash Bros. Melee even received a full Nintendo Player's Guide upon release.
