Notes:

Nintendo Fun Club News is the sometimes forgotten predecessor of the legendary Nintendo Power magazine. Released every three months before becoming bimonthly, this periodical was free for subscribers, though people whop weren't subscribed could buy issues from retail locations.

Nintendo Fun Club News quickly grew in terms of ambition. While its first issue in early 1987 was a fairly cheap, almost monochrome affair with only 6 pages, issues in 1988 were typically around 30 pages, packed with colored artwork and screenshots. By midway through 1988, there were about 600 thousand subscribers.

Nintendo Fun Club News was discontinued of the new "Nintendo Power" magazine in July 1988. This would be an even more ambitious affair, with over 100 pages, and ended up with a subscriber count of over 1.5 million by 1989. Nintendo Power ran until December 2012, and even then it was still a fairly popular magazine with about 475,000 subscribers. From that context, it is understandable that Nintendo Fun Club News is overlooked.
