Original Format
The first Player’s Guide was simply called The Official Nintendo Player’s Guide, featuring dozens of different NES games. It was followed in the early 1990s by a number of guides which were produced under the slightly different moniker of Nintendo Power Strategy Guides. These were sent between the then bi-monthly magazine issues to subscribers or mailed alongside them. NES games covered by their Strategy Guides included:
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos
- Final Fantasy
- 4-Player Extra, which covered multiple four-player games on the NES
Nintendo ceased production of these bimonthly Strategy Guides due to a lack of important game releases in the pre-holiday seasons of the year.
