Nintendo Power

Summary of Contents:  This magazine is great for avid video game players.  Each issue contains a News section that highlights specific games and gives a detailed review of their features and pluses and minuses.  The two larger sections of each issue are the Previews section and Reviews section.  Previews covers new games that are coming out.  Each preview shows pictures from the actual game, and gives details on how the game operates.  It also provides information on the publisher, developer and the release date.  Reviews give a really in-depth look at current games as well as provide ratings. 

Power Profiles is a three page spread in the magazine that profiles and interviews a different game creator each month.  It's nice because the creators answer questions about how they got into the video game business.

At the end of each issue readers are given a preview of what's to come next month.
