The January issue introduced a new layout with Take 2 reviews, a Power Players Arena and PowerCharts replacing the Top 20. The Adventures of Batman & Robin took the cover, with The Lion King, Pitfall, Robotrek, NBA Jam and Madden 95 inside. A Virtual Boy update gave the system its new name.

Hit the lights and see how much more is packed into Nintendo Power for '95.
