'''''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'', and was 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.
