Nintendo Power V285 is the December 2012 issue of Nintendo Power, and is also the magazine's final issue, ending the publication after 24 years. This also marked Nester's final appearance.
Reviews[]
Volume 285 marks the first time Nintendo Power had Wii U reviews. It's also the last time considering that this is the final issue, thus this is the only issue of Nintendo Power to have Wii U reviews.
Eighteen Wii U games were reviewed in total. No games from the Wii, the Nintendo DS or the Nintendo 3DS were represented in this section. True to the cover headline, the review section was 20 pages long with New Super Mario Bros. U as the featured review. The highest score achieved was 9.0 and was shared by two games - ZombiU and Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition.
