In the late 2000's Nintendo Power stopped publishing in-house and handed these duties over to Future.  During this time, they released a handful of magazines that were not part of the #1-285 issue set.  I have been collecting these for a year or so now and finally have all of the ones that I know of.  If you know of any more existing please let me know.  (I tryed to reach out to Future US to see if they could give me a list and got no response.)

The first two pictured are labeled "Supplement to Nintendo Power" which makes me think they were probably sent to subscribers at the time.  While all of the others have barcodes on the front with a note saying "Display until XX/XX/XXXX" meaning they were likely newstand stock.

































If you know of any I'm missing, please let me know so I can try and add it to the set.  Thanks!

Those are interesting. I think it's funny Mario is on almost every cover.

Well that's interesting. I had actually only ever seen the zelda one I believe. The Nintendo Power poster supplement is really cool!

Nice. Didn't realize there were so many.

-------------------------

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.
Between Dragon Warriors and nothing... I'll take Dragon Warriors - for any of my FT/FS/FO items.

I know.  It seems like I just keep finding out about new ones too.  I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I'm missing one or two still.

Awesome, Let me know!  Yeah, the Summer Games was one that I just randomly found on an eBay search.  The one: "Wii + DS Holiday Buyer's Guide" I found a picture of online over a year ago and had been looking for one since then and just finally got it last week!

Oh yeah, very nice.  It makes me wonder if there are other cover variants for these or if the majority were Newstand exclusives like I assumed.

I found a copy of one of the Zelda issues without the barcode on the cover: 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Legend-of...

It makes me think that there are likely both Newstand and Subscriber versions of all of these, just like the later NP issues were.  It would appear that the newstand copies are easier to find though. 

I'd be interested to hear if anyone had a subscription at the time and could confirm getting them in the mail.

If anybody has a copy I'm obviously extremely interested in buying

I completed my NP collection last year.  My method was I would buy them in lots and that I would always strive for the most complete of any duplicates.  Then I would resell the ones that were less complete.  Condition is typically very low level on these magazines, as long as they were readable and have the cover attached I considered them checked off the list.  I know a lot of collectors out there wouldn't go for that though.
