PDF: Nintendo Power #5 – Jan/Feb 1989
I’m getting back into the whole magazine thing again and this time I have number 5 of the ultimate fanboy mag, Nintendo Power. This time around, we are welcomed by a cover story of Ninja Gaiden. I hope he doesn’t kill me for pointing this out, but it looks like the Ninja from Ask A Ninja was a consultant for Nintendo many years back.
Anyway, this issue is filled with a handful of interesting tidbits including…
- Zelda II Guide With Map (page 8)
- 1989 CES Coverage (page 15)
- The Power Glove revealed (page 19)
- Ninja Gaiden guide (page 20)
- Adventure Island guide (page 31)
- Strider poster (page 36)
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (not the Arcade game) guide (page 52)
- And lots of other recurring features from Nintendo Power

Wow, that takes me back! That’s the first issue of Nintendo Power that I ever received.
I will think of how dorky that dude on the cover looks like every time I get the urge to dress like a ninja! He’s probably some guy they rousted from his cubicle and said “hey, put this costume on!”
Under Ninja Gaiden it says “New hit in Cinema Display”. What is that? Is that a reference to the “cinematic cutscenes” (from wikipedia) The old Nintendo Powers definitely bring back memories though
Yeah, I noticed that too.
Nowadays, “Cinema Display” means an Apple LCD monitor 🙂
Can you please make #6 issue of NP available for download? I really wanted to beat TMNT back in the day but I remember those maps I used and they could really help out!
