The art of Nintendo Power is a new Twitter account that showcases art and memorabilia from the defunct game magazine. It belongs to Stephan Reese, a Southern California collector.
Anyone interested in game history must check the Art of Nintendo Power Twitter account for themselves. Some of the most amazing pieces of game art are on display there.
The art of Nintendo Power sheds light on the history of games
Among Reese’s collections are several works of art that have been used as covers for Nintendo Power. This includes a massive oil painting with Simon Belmont.
This particular piece was the cover of Nintendo Power Volume 32. This was the problem that included a strategic guide for Super Castlevania IV.
The rejected art also appears on the account
Other awesome works of art on the Twitter account range from Mario Kart to Star Fox. There are also rejected pieces, like this unused Cyrax on the cover of Volume 78 Mortal Kombat 3.
The Art of Nintendo Power account is still new, but game history buffs who want more can go to Reese’s Instagram account. There are also more photos over there.
Reese is a blessing for the gaming community
The creation of The Art of Nintendo Power’s Twitter account sheds light on one aspect of video game history that can be easy to forget. Typically, the focus is so strongly on the games themselves that the advertising and the products that surround them are pushed to one side.
For example, the auctions surrounding rare video games are great news for collectors, but buying and selling promotional art hardly ever pays attention to players’ ears.
Fortunately, the community has saints like Stephan Reese out there who preserve and share that story. Make sure to check his accounts and thank him for sharing his collection!
