R.I.P. Nintendo Power

An era ends today.

With over 20 years of published issues under their belt, Nintendo Power Magazine is soon to be no more.

Coming to light over the last 10 days, it's now official: Nintendo has chosen not to renew their licensing agreement with Future Publishing and has reportedly no intentions to take over the publication itself. Future has been responsible for publishing Nintendo Power since they acquired the licensing rights back in 2007.

Reportedly "difficult to work with," Nintendo is said to have taken no interest in working with Future on expanded online initiatives to strengthen the Nintendo Power brand. Editors and staff members were told that the magazine would be shut down sometime last week and have since begun transitioning to other Future publications.
Originally launching way back in 1988, Nintendo Power was a staple for every gamer. Old issues were filled with tips, tricks, and industry news.

We will be sad to see her go. From our standpoint, this is an outrage! Let us know how you feel and leave your comments below.
