Nintendo Power var en Nintendospelstidning i USA som utkom varje månad. Tidningen började ges ut i juli-augusti 1988, och var i huvudsak koncentrerad på spelnyheter och hur man skall göra för att klara sig i olika spel. Tidningen var en av influenserna till den svenska kombinerade TV-spels- och serietidningen Nintendo-Magasinet, som utkom i Sverige åren 1990-1994. 21 augusti 2012 meddelade Nintendo att de inte planerade att förnya licensen med Future Publishing; tidskriftens sista nummer kom ut i december samma år.^[1]
