In response to last month’s very sad announcement that Nintendo Power will discontinue publication for good this December, we pay homage to the magazine that helped mold us into the fine gentlemen we are today. Join us as we mark the end of an era in true 8Bit Proof fashion. This memorial episode includes:
- An ill-advised, sixty shot salute to the company that helped shape our lives, and the modern gaming industry.
- A gag-inducing contest where one lucky listener turns our pain into their gain.
- An intimate listener FAP session regarding classic Nintendo titles that stand the test of time.
- Hurt feelings and slurred speech in two very different FMKs.
So whether you started on the NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, or Wii, let us touch your hearts and tickle your nostalgia boners. Prepare for a sentimental and very inebriated trip down Rainbow Road.

The Blast staffers know this, but I have a special place in my heart for Nintendo Power. They were the first publication to give me a legitimate shot, and I credit them with giving me my first real start. Oh, and great job on the Podcast guys. 🙂
