Q: How do you knock down Mike
Tyson even once?
A: Well, Mike likes to get in close
and let you have it. Dodge right
then left. Then if you dodge them
both, show him what a one-two
punch can do. Then Mike's mad!
Just dodge the best you can
and smack him with a Star
Punch, and down he goes!
Q: On Metroid how do you deal
with a low energy crisis?
A: Well,
try to keep a low profile
with monsters or aliens or whatever.

Dear
It!
Player,
We
hope you enjoyed reading the first issue of Nintendo Power as much as we enjoyed
making it. We spent many hours doing research (playing games) in order to bring you the
most complete reviews, the best tricks, and the raddest reading ever! I even jetted to Japan
for a week to work with our Nintendo Power staff over there. You try to explain Wheel of
Fortune to someone who doesnt speak English! It was great to make new friends and to meet
some pretty hot game players too! Maybe well even profile a few of them in a future issue.
Nintendo Power will come out every other month, and we want to provide you the very
best in video journalism (Weve discontinued the Fun Club News, so that we can devote all
our energy to making Nintendo Power the best magazine you could ever subscribe to).
What could be more fun? So, if you have an opinion about something, or a hot tip you want
to share, wed like to hear about
it.
P.S.
II.
Look
for
it.
Its
going to be great!
