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

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.

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.
