“POWER EXTREME!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nfrom Official Nintendo Magazine issue 58 (July 1997)<\/p>\n

My very first issue of ONM!
\n<\/span><\/b><\/i>Did I even have a Nintendo 64 by the time I picked this up? I don’t know what rock I’d been living under, but seeing this was the very first time I’d even seen a video game magazine. Seeing Mario on the cover of a magazine – on an actual magazine rack!! – just blew me away, and ended up making me unreasonably excited for Mario Kart 64<\/i>. So much so that I think I ended up guilting my dear old gran into giving me the money to buy it. Oh, the shenanigans one can get up to when your age is still in single-digits.
\nIt might be the nostalgia speaking but it’s a pretty solid issue, featuring a beefy Space Silicon Valley<\/i> preview that I’ve highlighted before, and the end of a multi-issue history of Mario feature that I have yet to get decent scans of. My copy’s gotten a little ratty over the years, I’m afraid!<\/p>\n

It’s one day off, but this marks the third year anniversary of ONM Remembered. I’m holding off on the exclamation marks because it’s basically a celebration of me ignoring the rest of the site for all that time… and I don’t need to remind myself how overdue an update to the Puchi Carat<\/i> shrine is, among other things! Sometime, buddy, sometime<\/i>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
