On June 20, 2015 some of us at Operation Power Up went to check out the <a href="http://e3.nintendo.com/events/nintendo-access/">Nintendo Access: Super Mario Maker</a> event. We also went to see <a href="http://zelda-symphony.com/">The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses Master Quest</a> afterwards. We came to enjoy the events (and promote ourselves with our shamelessness.) Check out our nice collection of pictures from both events!

Overall we had a fun weekend! We promoted the memory of Nintendo Power and met some fellow gamers!<br />
<br />
For those new to Operation: Power Up, we’re a group of dedicated fans persuading Nintendo of America to bring back Nintendo Power as a digital publication and/or a website. With fan publications such as <a href="http://purenintendo.com/" target="_blank">Pure Nintendo</a>, <a href="http://www.nfmagazine.com/" target="_blank">Nintendo Force</a>, there’s still a market for a dedicated Nintendo publication. Our mission is simple: we want to get back the Power!<br />
<br />
See you next mission!<br />

For those who don't know, in 1990, the Nintendo World Champions was a special nationwide contest that occurred in 30 states in the US. Players competed for the highest score on the Nintendo World Championships 1990 cart which featured the games Super Mario Bros, Rad Racer and Tetris. The finalist won $250 and a trip to Universal Studios Hollywood to compete in the World Finals!<br /><br /><br /><br />Fun Fact: The gold cart itself is the Holy Grail of NES games and it was given out in a seperate contest featured in, you guessed it, Nintendo Power! <br />

On May 30th, select Best Buy retailers will have qualifying competitions, and on June 14th the event will be streamed live! For more information check out <a href="http://e3.nintendo.com/">Nintendo's e3 site</a>.<br />

Our only wish is to invite Fred Savage, Luke Edwards, and Jenny Lewis and call it <i>The Wizard 2</i>. Also calling it <i>Nintendo PowerFest 2015</i> would also be a nice touch. But we can only dream...<br />
<br />
For those new to Operation: Power Up, we’re a group of dedicated fans persuading Nintendo of America to bring back Nintendo Power as a digital publication and/or a website. With fan publications such as <a href="http://purenintendo.com/" target="_blank">Pure Nintendo</a>, <a href="http://www.nfmagazine.com/" target="_blank">Nintendo Force</a>, there’s still a market for a dedicated Nintendo publication. Our mission is simple: we want to get back the Power!<br />
<br />
See you next mission!<br />

Last weekend, we at Operation: Power Up attended <a href="http://south.paxsite.com/">PAX South</a>, the first Penny Arcade Expo located in the south. Gamers from around the San Antonio area participated in the festivities. We at Operation: Power Up had four objectives while being there:<br />
1. Promote our campaign.<br />
2. Inform gamers of <a href="http://purenintendo.com/magazine/">Pure Nintendo Magazine</a> and <a href="http://www.nintendoforcemagazine.com/">Nintendo Force</a> if they haven't heard of it by now.
3. Check out the Nintendo booth.<br />
4. Find as many Nintendo cosplayers to fill up this post.<br />
<br />
At PAX South, Nintendo was promoting the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Majroa's Mask 3D and the New Nintendo 3DS.
Here's some pics we took of the Nintendo booth.<br />

Since our campaign is Nintendo related, we decided to post all the Nintendo related cosplays (and shenanigans) we found at PAX.<br />

Since our campaign is Nintendo-related, we decided to upload all the Nintendo-related cosplays (and shenanigans) we found at PAX to our Facebook page. You can check out the album <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1048474608501662.1073741832.518167284865733">here.</a><br />

For those new to Operation: Power Up, we’re a group of dedicated fans persuading Nintendo of America to bring back Nintendo Power as a digital publication and/or a website. With fan publications such as <a href="http://purenintendo.com/" target="_blank">Pure Nintendo</a>, <a href="http://www.nfmagazine.com/" target="_blank">Nintendo Force</a>, there’s still a market for a dedicated Nintendo publication. Our mission is simple: we want to get back the Power. Nintendo Power (and ONM too)!<br />
<br />
See you next mission!<br />

So there you have it! It's been a great year for us Nintendo fans! What will be in store for us next year? Maybe the return of Nintendo Power? We can only hope!<br />

See you next mission!<br />

On October 7th 2014, Official Nintendo Magazine announced that it will come to a close with its 114th issue, which was released on October 14, 2014. On November 11, 2014, the website along with its forums will be shut down. We at Operation Power Up are deeply saddened by the lost of ONM and would like to see it somehow return. With the lost of Nintendo Power, Nintendo Gamer, and now Official Nintendo Magazine, it is clear that Nintendo-dedicated publications have no future with Future Publishing.<br />
<br />
For our UK Nintendo fans who would like to see the return of Official Nintendo Magazine, please feel free to join our campaign to show Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe that us gamers who have grown up reading Nintendo Power or Nintendo Magazine System/Nintendo Magazine/Nintendo Official Magazine/Official Nintendo Magazine would still like an official Nintendo-dedicated publication.<br />
<br />
For those new to Operation: Power Up, we’re a group of dedicated fans persuading Nintendo of America to bring back Nintendo Power as a digital publication and/or a website. With fan publications such as <a href="http://purenintendo.com/" target="_blank">Pure Nintendo</a>, <a href="http://www.nfmagazine.com/" target="_blank">Nintendo Force</a>, there’s still a market for a dedicated Nintendo publication. Our mission is simple: we want to get back the Power. Nintendo Power (and ONM too)!<br />
<br />
See you next mission!<br />

Recently, Nintendo of America toured around the US with its annual Nintendo mall experience entitled <a href="http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/7MJnz179w1i2rjcPTH_j1TGDUEE0O9Ry">Play Nintendo Tour</a>. The general public were able to participate in playing 3DS games, trying out the 2DS and getting a chance to enter a Mario Kart 8 tournament and win Nintendo prizes. As you know, we at Operation Power Up participated in the festivities as well!<br />
<br />
Our objectives were simple:<br />
<br />
1. Play Nintendo Games.<br />
2. Promote Operation: Power Up.<br />
3. Obtain free Nintendo Swag.<br />
4. Try not to be noticed. (By dressing up as Nintendo characters again.)<br />
<br />
We attended the Houston Galleria location of the tour. The event itself was quite massive and had a large focus on the 2DS! They had the following games available for free play, and each game had it's own booth:<br />

People could also win free Nintendo prizes (such as plushes or PokéBalls) by answering Nintendo trivia to obtain "badges" which allows them a chance at the Nintendo claw machine.<br />
<br />
Some of the questions included:<br />
What was Mario's name before he was called Mario?<br />
How many Pokémon are there?<br />
Which game has Mario, Donkey Kong, and Link appear on the same screen (that's not Smash Bros.)?<br />
Who is the Princess of Hyrule?<br />
(These questions were pretty easy, thanks Nintendo Power and 20+ years of gaming!)<br />

There was also a Mario Kart 8 tournament that was taking place at the event. To qualify, you had to obtain the best time in Mario Kart 7's Toad Circuit. After that, you'll play Mario Kart 8 against 4 other players, the best 2 players move on to the final round. The final round had players competing for first place on the big screen! Winners received posters and first place winners received a certificate!<br />

With Pure Nintendo, Nintendo Force and <a href="http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/" target="_blank">Official Nintendo Magazine</a>, there's no doubt that gamers still want a Nintendo dedicated publication, and we hope that Nintendo of America will lend their support to Pure Nintendo or Nintendo Force so they can officially bring back the power.

Today is a great day for us at Operation Power Up, for Sakurai has shown his support of Nintendo Power!
<br />
<br />
How so you might ask? There's a <a href="http://www.smashbros.us/us/characters/nester.html" target="_blank">hidden page on the official <em>Smash Bros.</em> site</a>. This hidden page reveals the iconic Nintendo Power mascot, Nester, being fully playable in the latest Super <em>Smash Bros.</em> game! The screenshots also reveal a few new stages as well! There's no confirmation on this, but it seems that Nester might also be a North America-exclusive character. It makes sense seeing as though Nester was well known there back in the day. It seems that this character was developed mostly by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Software_Technology" target="_blank">NST</a>, and still not officially revealed to the public yet.
We are just ecstatic that they're going through Nintendo of America's history to add someone who by now is considered a niche character! Clearly this shows that people still love and miss Nintendo Power!<br />

For those new to Operation: Power Up, we’re a group of dedicated fans persuading Nintendo of America to bring back Nintendo Power as a digital publication, and/or a website. With fan publications such as <a href="http://purenintendo.com/" target="_blank">Pure Nintendo</a> and <a href="http://www.nfmagazine.com/" target="_blank">Nintendo Force</a>, as well as official publications such as <a href="http://revistaclubnintendo.com/index.html" target="_blank" title="Club Nintendo Magazine">Club Nintendo Magazine</a>, <a href="http://www.nindori.com/" target="_blank" title="Nintendo Dream">Nintendo Dream</a>, and <a href="http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/" target="_blank">Official Nintendo Magazine</a>, there’s still a market for a dedicated Nintendo publication. Our mission is simple: we want to get back the Power. Nintendo Power!
See you next mission!

Today, December 11, 2013, it has been one year since the cancellation of Nintendo Power. Many gamers, young and old, were deeply saddened when this gaming magazine titan and its legacy ended so abruptly.
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://operationrainfall.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/endofera.png"><img alt="Nintendo Power 285" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-108288" height="300" src="http://operationrainfall.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/endofera.png" width="600" /></a></div>
Let’s take a look through the volume 285, also known as the last issue Nintendo Power. (For now.)
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://operationrainfall.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/NP285.png"><img alt="Nintendo Power 285" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-108290" height="300" src="http://operationrainfall.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/NP285-228x300.png" width="228" /></a></div>
The cover features <em>New Super Mario Bros U</em>, as well as a giant homage to the first issue of Nintendo Power.
This special issue featured articles that delved into the past 25 years of Nintendo Power, from going through the greatest moments of Nintendo Power, as well as current and former Nintendo Power editors sharing their memories while working on the world’s greatest gaming magazine. It also has reviews for games of 2012 as well.
<br />

The most heart touching moment in the magazine was the inclusion of the last Nester comic. It depicted an all grown up Nester reading the last issue of Nintendo Power.
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The last page...</i></div>
<br />
However this wasn’t a game over for all Nintendo Power readers. Some players decided to continue what Nintendo left off.
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://operationrainfall.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/a2b55e9941549109674fb2ac30b90779_large.jpeg"><img alt="Pure Nintendo" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-108299" height="300" src="http://operationrainfall.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/a2b55e9941549109674fb2ac30b90779_large-230x300.jpeg" width="230" /></a></div>
A Nintendo centric blog known as <a href="http://purenintendo.com/" target="_blank">Pure Nintendo</a>, created by Justin Sharp on June 13, 2006, launched a <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/purenintendo/pure-nintendo-magazine?ref=live" target="_blank">Kickstarter</a> to create a subscription service for their new magazine, <a href="http://purenintendo.com/magazine/" target="_blank">Pure Nintendo Magazine</a>. Their magazine is a bi-monthly publication that comes in both digital and physical, (issue no. 6 being the first to be available in print.) It's nice to mention they offer a free digital subscription!
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://operationrainfall.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nintendoforceissue1.jpg"><img alt="Nintendo Force" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-108300" height="300" src="http://operationrainfall.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nintendoforceissue1-232x300.jpg" width="232" /></a></div>
When the news of Nintendo Power cancellation was confirmed, IGN's Lucas M. Thomas created a magazine known as <a href="http://www.nintendoforcemagazine.com/" target="_blank">Nintendo Force</a>. The staff of this magazine features staff members from many gaming websites. The first issue was released January 9, 2013. Nintendo Force is a bi-monthly magazine and also provides a digital and physical subscription, as well.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://operationrainfall.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/op1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="op1" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-108301" height="300" src="http://operationrainfall.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/op1-230x300.png" width="230" /></a></div>
<br />
These magazines did attempt to capture the spirit of Nintendo Power, however it wasn’t enough for one group.
A small programmer and big Nintendo gamer known as Jeremy A. started the campaign “Operation: Power Up” to convince Nintendo of America to bring back Nintendo Power and to prove NoA that people still want a Nintendo centric magazine. Our goal is to bring Nintendo Power back in a form for this generation such as a digital publication and or a interactive website.
With Pure Nintendo, Nintendo Force and <a href="http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/" target="_blank">Official Nintendo Magazine</a>, there's no doubt that gamers still want a Nintendo dedicated publication, and we hope that Nintendo of America would lend their support to Pure Nintendo or Nintendo Force so they can officially bring back the power.
See you next mission!

On December 3, 2013, some of the members of Operation: Power Up attended <a href="http://zelda-symphony.com/" target="_blank">The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses - Second Quest</a> in San Antonio, Texas. We were there not only to enjoy this magnificent concert, but also to raise awareness of our campaign! We arrived dressed up as various Nintendo characters to help draw attention for our campaign. (Plus it was fun to do so!)
Here are some pictures of us with people who want to get back the power!<br />

As a nice surprise for all us at Operation: Power Up, after the intermission, the producer and creative director of The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses, Jeron Moore, was reading out the Miis that he StreetPassed on his 3DS on stage. He happened to StreetPass our mascot, <a href="http://operationrainfall.com/campaign-hub-operation-power-update/" target="_blank">Max</a>, and then gave Operation Power Up a shout out!
At the end of the show, we even got to meet and take pictures with Jeron Moore. He supported our campaign!<br />

For those new to Operation: Power Up, we’re a group of dedicated fans persuading Nintendo of America to bring back Nintendo Power as a digital publication and or a website. With fan publications such as <a href="http://purenintendo.com/" target="_blank">Pure Nintendo</a> and <a href="http://www.nfmagazine.com/" target="_blank">Nintendo Force</a>, as well as the UK’s magazine, <a href="http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/" target="_blank">Official Nintendo Magazine</a>, shows that there’s still a market for a dedicated Nintendo publication. Our mission is simple; we want to get back the Power, Nintendo Power!
See you next mission!</div>

Introducing our representative of Operation Power Up, <del datetime="2013-09-16T22:05:25+00:00">Maxwell</del>,
Max! If you've been following with our campaign, we’ve been taking it
to the Miiverse. So we have started up an official Operation Power Up
Nintendo ID: OperationPowerUp. If you have a Nintendo Network ID, you
can visit our profile page <span class="hkmuob_noscript" id="hkmuob-id-7646"><a href="https://miiverse.nintendo.net/users/OperationPowerUp">here!</a></span> Don’t forget to follow us on the Miiverse and give us some yeahs!<br />
<br />
<br />
So who is our mascot? He’s the son of Nester, former comic star of
Nintendo Power. We believe his image best represents our campaign; we
want to restore a legacy for this generation. (As well as slipping some
classic Nintendo Power references for the fans.)<br />

Today, August 4, 2013, Pikmin 3 has been released in the US! The Pikmin games have shown us that if we work together, we can accomplish anything! So here’s our mission!
The Miiverse community is big and Nintendo does take notice to the posts there. The EarthBound community have succeeded on getting EarthBound/Mother 2 on Virtual Console in North America by simply letting Nintendo know that they want it through the Miiverse.
For those with Nintendo Network IDs, the Pikmin 3 Miiverse Community is quickly growing now, so all we need from you is to simply post a message on the Pikmin 3 Community asking Nintendo of America to give Nintendo Power its own official Miiverse community or bring Nintendo Power back.
Here’s an example post:

Furthermore if you see this post or any other Nintendo Power related post in the Miiverse, please be sure to give it a “Yeah” to make sure these posts get scene by more people. Feel free to post around anywhere in the Miiverse community as well!
Pikmin has also shown us that there’s strength in numbers, so please share this article with people who are interested in officially bringing back Nintendo Power as a new publication, website, or a Miiverse community. You can also sign in the Miiverse on your computer and share your posts on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Tumblr. Just visit the official Miiverse website right <a href="https://miiverse.nintendo.net/">here</a>.

Hello, this is Jeremii of <a href="http://nintendium128.net/" target="_blank">Nintendium 128</a>, also one of the
leaders of Operation: Power Up. Today, December
11, 2012, is the day where the last issue of Nintendo Power will be
published. My subscription ended around
October, a few months after Nintendo confirm the cancellation of Nintendo Power,
so there was no way for me to renew. Be
that as it may, I went to pick up the last issue. As I saw the issue out on display, it felt
like a surreal experience. Seeing the
giant homage to the first issue of Nintendo was heartwarming. However knowing this might possibly the last
issue ever was deeply saddening. It felt
like an end of an era. I always felt
that Nintendo Power will always be there, like Nintendo itself. However seeing the words “Final Issue” was
just too unreal. </div>

At the end of the issue, there’s a picture the reads “Game
Over! Thanks for reading!” We of Operation: Power Up are looking for the
“Continue” option. Please continue to
support us in hopes of Nintendo of America bringing back or resurrecting Nintendo
Power as a magazine or some sort of digital format. Don’t let this legacy die now. Sign our petition, join or Facebook, follow us on Twitter, join our events, write letters to Nintendo of America to let them know that you want the Power, Nintendo Power.</div>
