Okay, I can live without those three. But how about the rest?
The biggest NES omissions are Vice: Project Doom and Felix The Cat. They're kind of like Ninja Gaiden/Shatterhand and Wacky Races, respectively. The NES section has slowed down, but these two are a case in point that there are still games to be mapped!
I really loved my Nintendo Power, especially between 1991 and 1993. 1991 was my first year subscribing, and 1992 and 1993 had those awesome comics in them. I really miss those days.
I wonder if kids today have the same kind of nostalgia with growing up in gaming culture. I doubt that if they do, it's not like ours. They probably wouldn't cherish their game magazines because all the info is on the Internet, and any print magazine they might read is full of ads and the same kind of stock artwork/renderings, essentially making most magazines look the same. And with so many video games, I can see how anyone who gets bored can just move on to the next thing, so there's little reason to replay those tough stages of Ninja Gaiden II after spending a couple months' allowance buying the cartridge, that sort of thing. Maybe I'm having some kind of early mid-life crisis, wishing I was half my age again...
