The Nintendo Power Line was brought back starting today and lasting through Sunday to celebrate the arrival of the NES Classic Edition. Back in the day, players could call in to receive game tips and other help from counselors.
Game Informer now has the full recording of what you’ll hear when you call the “new” Nintendo Power Line. Rather than speaking with a person, you’ll hear an automated recording that promotes the NES Classic Edition, but some tips are sprinkled in as well. Three gameplay counselors have tips for The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., and Metroid, who also share stories about their time working on the hotline.
Listen to the full recording below.
