Nintendo Power was a print magazine in North America that ran from '88 to '12. The brand has been resurrected as a podcast Nintendo uploads to YT every so often. Besides that, the major platform holders really didn't offer special edition consoles until the N64/PS1/Saturn era.

So what are you looking for exactly?

@Magician He might be asking about the NES Power Set, the set that included a NES, Zapper, Two Controllers the Power Pad and the triple cartridge with Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt and Track and Field.

@Falco1p That looks like some kind of knockoff NES console, probably from China. Nintendo never made a NES with that sort of design. Even that Nintendo Power logo is cheaply done.

Maybe @the_shpydar can help.

All I found is this, but it looks completely different:

My guess is that your console is simply a bootleg only available in your area, and as such, it's probably not very widely known.

@Falco1p yep its a knockoff. If you look at the back it says Nintendo Power Co. LTD. There was no Nintendo Power company. More then likely your grandparents who knew nothing about video games got it thinking it was a Nintendo.

It looks like a Famicom that had the console and controllers reshelled.
