You're welcome.

I plan on downloading all of these.

I hadn't noticed the download links at first.  Several formats.  Yes, I'm downloading these too.  Thanks!

Sadly it looks like these got taken down.

OK, now I'm pissed.  I understand protecting Metroid IP, but a discontinued magazine?  Fuck them.

Yeah, it's bullshit.

Honestly I'd be happy to pay Nintendo for some sort of Omnibus presentation of the content.

But I kinda wish I had downloaded them, now.

The torrent at my link above downloaded at an average of 1.7 MB/sec.  It's 8.3 GB and has the Nintendo Power issues from '88 to '98.  Some are PDF and some are CBR.

Sample from a CBR.  The PDFs (from the first year or so) have a lower resolution, but still plenty for all text and images.  I need to page through a lot more before I can be sure the quality is consistent.  So far, so good.
