Lego City Undercover(nee Stories) looks cool, but at this point, I'm wondering if I should just pick up a Gamecube and load up on select cheap games, as the system was good for those.

Wii can run Gamecube games though, right? So it might be a better buy.

Wii can run Gamecube games, Wii U won't I think (but idk probably will have them as downloadable Virtual Console titles?)

Get the Wii just because it's hard and expensive to get video component out cables for the GameCube.
BUT! the later price cut Wii models don't have GC backwards compatibility, so watch out for that. They won't have the controller ports.

wow - I didn't know they dropped gamecube support... horrible.

This is sort of sad to me, but yeah I only subscribed up until N64 years and then I just pretty much never read a videogame magazine again. It's funny how many comments on various sites are "Who care this is just a 30-page ad from Nintendo WAKE UP SHEEPLE" when really what print magazine isn't basically an advertisement.

Gotta say the demented-looking Mario from the first issue cover looks pretty awesome.

all video game mags are atrocious hack jobs but Nintendo Power at least was not also written with a dudebro core gamer male-gazey house style. I think all my back issues from my various subscription eras have been sold or disposed, alas.

still hilarious to me that they fucked up Mario's coloring on the first cover

It's a brochure. Everyone mourning its passing is a fucktard

Should I do anything with my stacks of old NP / Next Gen / EGM / etc. gaming mags or should they go straight into a dumpster

Internet Archive might be interested in scanning them
― Spirit of Match Game '76 (silby), Friday, 29 August 2014 20:10 (nine years ago) link
Basically spot check for anything that might not be scanned "out there", do a desultory eBay listing of anything in a contiguous chunk, then recycle
