Reader's Annotation: Everything Nintendo! Game tips, insider information, game previews and reviews.

Summary: Not many surprises in Nintendo Power...it's video games, video games, video games. Reviews and previews, tips and tricks, ads and commentary, and plenty of screen shots grace it's pages. There are some interviews with video game creators, and a small section at the end called "Community" that talks about folks who like to play video games. There isn't much content designed to make you think about things other than video games, but if you like video games, then you'll probably enjoy this magazine.

Genre: magazine, video games

Series : --

Evaluation: This is certainly not a magazine I'd ever pick up and read (no hairstyle tips) but then I'm not a video game fan. However, the writing is solid, if not challenging, and for kids who like video games, this would provide incentive to read. There are plenty of ads in this magazine, but then that is to be expected. Adults should be aware that the magazine doesn't limit itself to covering games of a particular rating, but it does seem like Nintendo is shooting for a tween audience.

Why it belongs in a Tween Collection: Tweens like magazines, and many like video games. What could be a better fit than a magazine about video games?
