Does the Nintendo Power magazine hold up? Do you still actually consult it? Am thinking about training an AI on the entire series so that I have a personal videogame expert at my disposal.

That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard.

It's maps were always wrong and it's facts were not checked.
Even AVGN stopped using them and switched to online guides.

nintendo power had a few hints early on, most early 1/3rd of a game. later issues dropped a lot of guides and it went 100% marketing magazine.

the official nintendo players guide was the real deal, it was the precursor to nintendo power and had way more info:

It holds up fine; the question is whether it was good to begin with. It was always good in some ways and always bad in some ways. Giving hints and guides was never a way in which it was VERY good, although it did do those things to a significant extent. The main function of Nintendo Power is to serve as a friendly consumer's guide to Nintendo's portion of the video games market during the years in which it was active; it was best used back then as a source of Nintendo-focused gaming news, not as a source of information about how to play games. It is best used now as a quirky guide to Nintendo's history from the perspective of a North American player. Your idea would not work well; it would work much better (though still not ideally) with GameFAQs guides.

What the hell is wrong with you? What is keeping you from suicide and how can we help you past that thing?

>>12876056
how can you be in /vr/ with zero reading comprehension
>>
>>12875262
Your AI would just regurgitate ads and bad information. Many of the previews of games and hardware in Nintendo Power we're based on prerelease info and often incorrect because of it.

Just used this to beat Metroid and now using it for Zelda 2

Extremely retarded thread. Take your AI up to your ass and die.
