Every Nintendo Power featured cover game

I loved Nintendo Power as a kid. Got some nostalgia for it lately, and decided to make a list of every game that got featured on the cover. I did not include issues that did not feature any games on the cover (like systems) or featured a bunch of games with no clear focus. Please notify me if there are any errors.
