NES Related Media, Articles, etc.
Most NES colle are aware of the contents and impact of Nintendo Power at the time, but I wanted to start a thread where people could post the best articles, catalogs, news stories, etc. related to the NES.
Obviously there were other VG magazines like Gamepro and EGM, but what were the best issues or articles in relation to the NES?
Feel free to post links to pictures, articles, news paper clippings, local news on Youtube etc.
I will start with 2 things I found interesting

it has some vintage footage of a young Miyamoto. It also shows a lot of the handwritten SMB level designs.
This is suuuch a product of people not being able to research things online. The parents are all crapping their pants becuase they believe that the NES came out in 1989. And you couldn't tell people otherwise if they believed something then. And a lot of parents really did lock up and refuse to buy the SNES. I remember how community-oriented the NES was and how alienating it was to own a SNES and when none of the other kids did. Like, you were a weird kid if you had it before say Street Fighter came out.
