Nester was created by Nintendo Power editor and Nintendo Fun Club News "president" Howard Phillips. While primarily the star of Howard & Nester, the character would randomly appear elsewhere in the magazine. In the Nintendo Power Awards, for example, his likeness would be fastened on the "trophies". He would also make an appearance in articles that the editors deemed appropriate. In the article pertaining to the NES version of Jeopardy!, for example, he could be seen playing against Howard (Howard's score was predictably much higher than Nester's, who had a score of -$1000).
