Nintendo Power's final issue should hit shelves next week.

All of the memories, all of the info, it will be remembered.



Here is the final cover of Nintendo Power, it pays homage to the first cover, which is on the right on the picture.

This may be an indication that Nintendo is finally going under. With the transition of fan-bases to increase profit, not to mention the flawed and unsafe method of their motion-sensor technology, I've been predicting their downfall for quite awhile. Their family-oriented approach never seems to quite match the functionality and usefulness of the fan-base flexibility of their competitors, as the other next-gen consoles put their features to shame. I'm not saying Nintendo is a bad company, as it was one of the pioneers of gaming, but greed seems to have gotten the best of them these past several years. I don't expect that they will totally be wiped out as a publisher, but they may get knocked out of the console race altogether before all is said and done.

GuardianZack : Nintendo is a strange company. I don't think its downfall will be soon though. I would say at least after 10 years.
Nintendo Power must of been good. I never subscribed for it, but a lot of people liked it. It is very sad to see something go after so many years.

earthwarrior : Nintendo IS a weird company, because of their mascot, Mario. HE GROWS WITH MUSHROOMS. Have I been this dissapointed about a fictonal power-up? It's weird. This has been in at least 3 posts now, and since I saved the princess, I've been getting tired of Mario. Until I find out why a Mushroom is a power-up. I'm sick of it! I mean... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-V9Vas6kENJ8/ThszY4bc4bI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/NG_TcqIuLlc/Mario.gif Bleh.

From what I understand, the talk is that the only reason the magazine is stopping production, is the availability of data via means of recent technology trumps paper. Though that seems plausible, I don't think it's logical. Just because we have Internet capabilities on our phones, doesn't mean that TIME magazine stops publishing. You still have to consider the vast majority of people who either can't understand the technology, or simply can't afford it. Given the circumstances, Nintendo Power is a magazine about things which require some knowledge of technology, so the consumer focus is mainly on those who probably wouldn't need it in the first place. Still, I can reason that PlayStation Magazine, EGM, and Tips & Tricks are still in publication, so why haven't they ceased print? Case in point, I think that there may be more going on under the surface than Nintendo is willing to admit.

This really is sad actually. I was never actually subscribed to it but I remember reading many of the issues, either from a friend, at a store or renting it from my elementary school library. I have actually bought a few over the past 15 years and I loved the issues that had the Pokemon comics in the back.

I'll definitely be buying this last issue once it hits shelves.

I stopped caring about NP after I realized how good Sony's games and systems were. (I then got game informer)

Regardless... Nintendo power is a testament to the good and bad side of Nintendo.

It will be missed. I won't buy the last copy. I just have no interest in Nintendo anymore.

KiddoCabbuses : Nintendo actually has so much money that no matter if they fail or not, no matter how much they fail, they should be around for the next 50 years.

GameBoy1023 : It is usually in the magazine section of drug stores, book stores, or Walmart.

GuardianZack : Nintendo is profiting now more than ever before. I think they're the farthest company from going under.

That said, the whole thing about digital news being available sounds plausible. If you own a video game system, then you probably own a computer or a cell phone. And you can get your information much more easily from there than a magazine.

Still, I thought Nintendo Power was kinda fun to read from time to time. I'll certainly miss it. I bet it'll be worth quite a bit 20 years from now. x3

Aww, it sucks that they're about to stop making Nintendo Power books at this point, I found it kind of interesting to read especially if I wanted to know a few more things about it.

I still haven't gotten this month's magazine, although it says that my subscription expires in February. I usually get them a few days before the month stars. Does anyone know why they've stopped making Nintendo Power? I've looked for the answer to that for quite some while now.

I picked it up today, they really couldn't pick a better ending. I can't say I'm going to miss the magazine because I have easy access to the internet, but I think that we'll be able to live without it.
