Ever since the announcement of Nintendo Power's cancellation, former Nintendo of America spokesman and official Gamemaster Howard Phillips has decided to start sharing all kinds of Nintendo-related goodies on his Facebook page. If you thought the Nintendo Knitting Machine was a strange piece of Nintendo history, you ought to check out the Howard & Nester comic that was never printed! If you aren't familiar with Howard & Nester, it was a regular series in the early days of Nintendo Power starring Howard -- the magazine's original editor -- and a teenage pastiche of Howard named Nester. They were a two-man comedy duo who ventured into a different videogame world each month. When Howard left Nintendo, the comic was re-branded as Nester's Adventures and ran for a couple more years. This is Howard's final official comic appearance before he left for Lucasfilm Games. However, Howard's friends wanted to send him off with one final gift, a special Howard & Nester episode with a much more... err... explicit edge. Definitely not something that you'd want to kiddies to read! It's naturally filled with a bunch of in-jokes, since it wasn't meant for the public. I'm just happy that Howard is being so open and letting us into his world. The final and never-before-published Howard & Nester comic [Tiny Cartridge] Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)If Howard and Nester were like that in every installment,Nintendo Power could have gone on for another decade or two in addition to what they made it up to. It seems like the illustration was finished and they crowdsourced the dialogue. It's disjointed, random and weird. @Moo99: Most short comics back in those days had disjointed dialouge. I remember my old British "Warlord" comics had no sense of continuity at all with the speech. 2:00 AM on 05.22.2013 Yakko Warner is Bravoman in new Namco cartoonThe cartoon adaptation of ShiftyLook's Bravoman: Super-Unequaled Hero of Excellence went live on May 20, exactly 25 years to the day since the launch of the obscure TurboGrafx-16 game Bravoman upon which it was based.
