A unique feature of the magazine were the Nintendo comics, most of which were exclusively made for the magazine issue. The comics in the issues from 1991 to 1998 were drawn by Japanese manga artists (Mangaka), while the stories and texts were written by the German editors of the magazine themselves. In 1999 and 2000, they were replaced by a comic series called ''[[N-Gang]]'', which are completely German productions. ''N-Gang'' features teenage human characters as protagonists, but video game characters still appear. While some of the comics are closely related to the games, there are also stories which take place on [[Earth]] instead of the usual environments of various Nintendo and third-party characters. All of the Nintendo comics were only released in Germany; they were never released anywhere else.
