'''''Club Nintendo''''' was [[Nintendo]]'s official, bimonthly published magazine in Germany, with issue 1/1998 also in Austria and Switzerland. It can be seen as the German equivalent to the American ''[[Nintendo Power]]''. The first issue was published in 1989. The magazine's precursor was called ''Play Nintendo'' which was first published in November 1988. It featured only eight pages per issue and was styled more similarly to a newsletter than a magazine. Until 2001, the number of pages greatly increased throughout the years. In 2000, one issue of ''Club Nintendo'' had over 80 pages.

A very special feature of the magazine were the Nintendo comics, most of them exclusively released in the magazine. The comics in the issues from 1991 to 1998 were drawn by Japanese manga artists (Mangaka), while the stories and texts were written by the German editors of the magazine themselves. In 1999 and 2000, they were replaced by a comic series called ''[[N-Gang]]'', which are completely German productions. ''N-Gang'' features teenage [[human]] characters as protagonists, but still a lot of appearances of the Nintendo characters.  
A unique feature of the magazine were the Nintendo and ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' comics, most of which were exclusively made for the magazine issue. The comics in the issues from 1991 to 1998 were drawn by Japanese manga artists (Mangaka), while the stories and texts were written by the German editors of the magazine themselves. In 1999 and 2000, they were replaced by a comic series called ''[[N-Gang]]'', which are completely German productions. ''N-Gang'' features teenage human characters as protagonists, but video game characters still appear. While some of the comics are closely related to the games, there are also stories which take place on [[Earth]] instead of the usual environments of various Nintendo and third-party characters. All of the Nintendo comics were only released in Germany; they were never released anywhere else.


While some of the comics are closely related to the games, there are also stories which are rather obscure and take place on [[Earth]] instead of the usual environments of the various Nintendo characters. Also 3rd party characters do appear both in the ''N-Gang'' and the prior comics.
After 2000, while the magazine was published by Computec Media, no more comics were released in ''Club Nintendo''.


After 2000, when the magazine was published by Computec Media, no more comics were released in ''Club Nintendo''.

The title of this article is official, but it comes from a non-English source. If an acceptable English source is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.

Cover of issue 3/1997, featuring Mario Kart 64.
Issue 3/1997 of Club Nintendo, promoting Mario Kart 64

Club Nintendo was Nintendo's official, bimonthly published magazine in Germany, with issue 1/1998 also in Austria and Switzerland. It can be seen as the German equivalent to the American Nintendo Power. The first issue was published in 1989. The magazine's precursor was called Play Nintendo which was first published in November 1988. It featured only eight pages per issue and was styled more similarly to a newsletter than a magazine. Until 2001, the number of pages greatly increased throughout the years. In 2000, one issue of Club Nintendo had over 80 pages.

In 2001, because of redeployment at Nintendo of Europe, the old staff of the magazine was laid off, and a German publishing company called Computec Media continued the magazine with a new staff team. The new incarnation had far fewer pages and was canceled after the release of the April 2002 issue.

Club Nintendo is also the name of official Nintendo magazines from various other countries, most of which have been discontinued. Club Nintendo México, the official Nintendo magazine in Latin America, was the longest lasting of all the Club Nintendo magazines, which continued to be published until 2019.

Comics

A unique feature of the magazine were the Nintendo and Super Mario comics, most of which were exclusively made for the magazine issue. The comics in the issues from 1991 to 1998 were drawn by Japanese manga artists (Mangaka), while the stories and texts were written by the German editors of the magazine themselves. In 1999 and 2000, they were replaced by a comic series called N-Gang, which are completely German productions. N-Gang features teenage human characters as protagonists, but video game characters still appear. While some of the comics are closely related to the games, there are also stories which take place on Earth instead of the usual environments of various Nintendo and third-party characters. All of the Nintendo comics were only released in Germany; they were never released anywhere else.

After 2000, while the magazine was published by Computec Media, no more comics were released in Club Nintendo.

List of Super Mario comics in regular issues

Comics with no characters from the Super Mario franchise as main characters are excluded. The N-Gang is described in a separate article.
