The Nerd does a tribute to the magazine Nintendo Power by showing selected ads that were made exclusive to the magazine, the posters, the walk-through content, and the fan letters that are answered by the staff. The Nerd praises it for being the earliest way to know how to beat the toughest Nintendo games. Before the Internet became more common to use the only way to know how to beat a game is by magazine subscription. Besides the magazine being very nostalgic, the Nerd also points out some things that he finds absurd like how the posters are hard to take out, the sarcastic responses to the fan letters, the gross out ads that started to show up in the mid-90's, the unusual content of the various contests, and the unnecessary activity games. Besides all of those issues, the Nerd praises Nintendo Power for being Nintendo's main magazine provider.
