El Mundo de Nintendo, also known as Boletín coleccionable del Mundo de Nintendo (both stylized in all-caps), was a Mexican newsletter created by Gus Rodríguez and Pepe Sierra, at the request of Jorge Nogami. It is the precursor to the Mexican Club Nintendo magazine, which would come out several months after its discontinuation. The newsletter ran for a little more than a year, running from March 18, 1990, to March 24, 1991. A compilation of the first 10 issues would be released near the end of its lifespan, titled El Mundo de Nintendo: Edición Especial. Its cover uses a colored version of the artwork used on the front of the 12th issue.

The newsletter primarily covered Nintendo Entertainment System games, with occasional coverage of Game Boy games and in the 13th issue, the release of Super Mario World was covered.

From the fourth issue forwards, the newsletter clarified that it was free, warning readers in the 16th issue not to fall for people who sold it.

Development and history[edit]

Guz Rodríguez and Pepe Sierra, two advertising executives and gamers, founded the Network Publicidad agency in 1987. The following year, they acquired an NES, along with Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda, back when these games were relatively unknown in Mexico. Following that, they began loving Nintendo and its works.[3]

In 1989, Jorge Nogami was about to open an official Nintendo store in Mexico City. He called Gus and Pepe to advertise Nintendo products for him. Instead of advertising through radio or newspapers, they decided to publish a bi-weekly newsletter titled El Mundo de Nintendo. The newsletter started with four pages and two inks, was letter-sized, folded in three and had a limited amount of photos and images, as most of them had to be done by hand.[4]

The newsletter quickly became popular at the store, expanding to six pages and three inks by the eight issue, with special editions of some games such as Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3 also being made. Towards the end of its run, two new members, nicknamed Axy and Spot, joined the team, adding a section titled "Warp Zones", alongside Jesús Medina "Chucho" and Adrián Carbajal "Carqui".

Content[edit]

Despite its limited amount of pages, El Mundo de Nintendo features a variety of sections, with varying levels of recurrency, which are listed below:

  • El buzon[sic] de Nintendo: This section appeared in every issue and consists of questions sent by readers to the newsletter, which were then replied by the staff.
  • No pierdas el control: This section promoted various controllers for the Nintendo Entertainment System, appearing in most issues until the ninth issue, returning briefly in the 15th issue with an advertisement for the Light Boy, an add-on for the Game Boy.
  • Secretos: Appearing in all issues except for the eight one, as the name implies, this section contains obscure tips for various games, which were submitted by readers.
  • ¿De que se trata?[sic]: Appearing in most issues, this section talks about recently-released games.
  • Mas alla del juego[sic]: Introduced in the second issue and appearing often until the ninth issue, with a brief return in the 15th one, this section has varied content, such as giving life advice and applying it to video games.
  • Warp Zones: Introduced in the 15th issue and appearing ever since, this section, similar to the "Secretos" section, showcased various secrets and tips, detailing how they are achieved.
