I've always heard Game Gear is one of the main offenders. I don't have experience capping one though.

@BlueBombers I added everything you uploaded! So the only ones missing from the main set are Kingdom Crusade, Marble Madness, SimCity and Firstriker. Do you have any of those? And upload the Tecmo Super Bowl again when you can. Thanks again!

Well like he said you get 200mb total upload space, so eventually later on you'll run out of space. And I already downloaded them so we don't need them on the comments section. He'll either reply in the comments, or maybe click on his profile and send him a private message?

@BlueBombers That was great!! If my calculations are correct you added 23 of the 27 cards that were missing. Honestly, I'm happy with the image quality. They look really good considering you're taking photos right? The only one I'd like you to retake if you're able to is Tecmo Super Bowl, all the rest look superb. As for the image space, maybe you can ask @Gloves if he can delete the images for you to make more space on your account? I already downloaded them all and am planning to upload them to imgur myself to add to the original post. And I'll credit you for the additions!!

Those look great! I’ll definitely add it to the post when I get a chance to edit it. Any more you have take photos too if you can

I guess it’s also somewhat subjective what is considered not released for famicom. Almost all localizations at the very least translated Japanese text except for the very early black box games that had the same ROMs here and Japan. A game like Snoopy’s Silly Sports Spectacular @fcgamerconsiders as released for famicom as Donald Duck, which makes sense. And Kid Klown as Mickey Mouse III. I’d say the R.B.I Baseballs should be considered released there too then

I saw that post right after I wrote that! Lol I also have seen the Nintendo Times article with the photos of the mailer they sent out to announce the subscription promotion. My question is this though, where did they get the addresses to send them to? Was it only people who sent in their console registrations, or fun club members, or people already subscribed to Nintendo Power? I’m assuming it was broader than that since they were signing up new subscribers.

Gotcha, I never personally played the other R.B.I. Baseballs as a kid. The first one I totally wore out. The Tengen sequels seem pretty similar to the first game so I haven’t played them much. I know Famicom World does list it as R.B.I. Baseball 2 in their games list

When the first Dragon Warrior giveaway was sent out, did the Explorer’s Handbook, maps, and letter come outside of the sealed NES box?

I thought Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium '87 by Namcot is R.B.I. Baseball 2?

Thanks! Just 104 of the cards are from my own collection. The others I found on archive.org. I'm actually keeping them mostly still in sheets attached to the Nintendo Power issues. So I was hoping to get them scanned so I can have them on my computer. Do you happen to have any missing ones you can scan?

I’d love for you to scan and digitize this! I’ve seen a few online from the 80s/90s that are just pics of the pages, but not high quality scans. I find these so interesting

Have you ever heard of this tell all book from 2015 where Jeff Rovin's son says he wrote all those books by just sitting with a notepad in front of the TV while his two sons blasted through NES games and beat them Lol. I didn't know that series was so great selling.

Also I have an alternate cover for the red Consumer Reports Nintendo Strategies. The red, white and yellow ones all have the same content right? Just different publishing pages at the beginning.

Wow that CES Guide is news to me! I'd like to see more issues if you can get pics, and definitely pics of the Game Tapes. I know My Life in Gaming has 8 of the tapes up on YouTube. The highest number up is No. 12 Acclaim.

Yeah I love Game Players! I'm not sure if I had any issues as a kid but I definitely borrowed Consumer Reports (maybe red one?) from my cousin's friend and thought the cheats/tips were so cool. Did Game Players really have 16 videos? I have ads for 9 of them. And the Super Mario Bros 2 one is marked Vol. 1 No. 1 next to the Double Dragon one that also says Vol. 1 No. 1 literally in the same ad!! I see they have ads for Game Players Sports for Kids in the magazines, but I've searched for it online and came up with nothing, they really printed it? It's always the Magic Johnson cover in the ads. I've never heard of Game Players CES Specials can you elaborate? This really is a separate thread lol

I don't have any info on this, but it's really cool! It reminds be of around 2006 when we had PDAs (personal digital assistants) that had apps like this. It was new to have a small device with the Bible and calendar/organizing software before smart phones. My PDA was actually the first thing I used WiFi on!

Nice I just put it on the list! Yup I found photos of the other two you mentioned on eBay. I've even been looking through NES manuals now because they had a lot of ads for upcoming games at the end.

Calling all Super Power Club members! This post is intended to be supplementary to @Bubbapauls's Nintendo Power Trading Cards thread. These are hi-resolution scans of all cards in my own collection, as well as scans available from Nintendo Power issues on archive.org. There are 27 cards and 4 variants that are missing. Just as Nintendo Power advised their readers, trade with your friends! Submit any hi-resolution scans that are missing. The Super Power Club Trading Cards started in Nintendo Power #41 (October 1992) as a contest every month to give away up to 500 Super Nintendo games. The fine print actually says “This Game Pak will be a Super Nintendo title that may have been used in a Nintendo display at a retail outlet; Game Pak may say Demo-Not For Resale.” A winning combination of three trading cards would be announced every month to send in for the free SNES game. The trading club cards only came in Nintendo Power issues through the mail, not ones bought in stores, since you became a Super Power Club member by being a subscriber. Cards 1-72 were put randomly in a sheet at the end of the magazine until a year later in Nintendo Power #53 (October 1993) when they announced the second set which would start with number 73. They also eliminated the monthly SNES contest and removed the contest rules from the sheets. There was no further announcement, but I’ve noticed that issues 65-69 contain cards 140-170. I haven’t found higher number cards before those issues. The cards were discontinued after Nintendo Power #69 (February 1995). Click on the thumbnails for a link to imgur albums in groups of tens which include the front and back of cards. A full list of cards is at the bottom, cards that are missing hi-res scans are in bold. UPDATE: Thanks to @BlueBombers we're up to only 1 card missing (Marble Madness) and 4 variants!! 104 from my collection, 43 from archive.org, and 26 from BlueBombers. Fun Fact: Card #85 says The Legend of Zelda was released as a launch title in October 1985! (OOPS!) Card #150 which is also The Legend of Zelda corrects this.

Lol very true. It's just funny, Game Player's is such an enigma. Their numbering system on the first few magazines is all out of whack and they have two Vol. 1 Number 1 issues. And they called it "Nintendo Buyer's Guide" and "Nintendo Strategy Guide". Then they also had MS-DOS Guide, PC Guide, Sega Genesis Guide, Game Boy Guide. They actually had 53876 and 71486 as prefixes on the UPC of some of their magazines too. It's like they had two different UPC companies registered?

Very nice!! I'm totally gonna make a database on my computer and check off the few I already have. Did you ever notice the UPC numbers on the two 1st Edition Game Players Nintendo Encyclopedia scans you have with the same cover are different? I knew there was an alternate cover but I didn't know the first cover got two printings

Any update getting a link to google drive for the hi-res covers? I’d love to have those! Also I think you have the wrong thumbnail for Prima’s Nintendo Game Secrets Vol. 1 @acidjaguar

Nice Raisins! I'm gonna add that middle page. The one at the bottom is actually the same as the CAP-NES-US-2 pack-in poster I have listed. This sales brochure seems to be from Winter CES 1989. Because there's another one posted here from 1988 which I think the guy originally got there because he wrote for VG&CE back then. The cover is the same as yours but without the 1989. Funny thing is Capcom was planning SFII for NES way before it came to the arcades in 1991!

I was waiting for you to chime in on the discussion! I added the Beauty and the Beast page to the list. I didn't add Beyond Gaming because I'm trying to do only with screenshots or box covers if the ad's not from the publisher. So it's not a lot of quick mentions of titles. I was surprised you had the other Beyond Gaming issues listed on your newsletter thread, I only see #4 everywhere on the internet I was beginning to think the others didn't exist lol. These LJN ones are great, do you know anything about the NBA flyer? I added it to the list, but I'd like more info because I can't find any other mention of it. And I'm not sure if it would be called "NBA" or "NBA Basketball". Since LJN's NFL game is kinda also called "NFL Football". And the other one is pronounced out "Major League Baseball".

I looked into it a little more and it seems you're right. Danger Zone was 1986 Cinematronics and Double Play was 1987 Cinematronics in the arcades. So since this poster is from 1988 it seems they are implying a NES port like you said. Was Cinematronics bought by Tradewest? I added them in. And I added Super Dodge Ball to alternate publishers since they're advertising it, and it's the same logo as the Technos arcade marquee. The Double Play logo is the same as the Cinematronics arcade too.
