Nintendo Power Cancelled

[pheonix561 2080]

Nintendo has chosen not to renew its licensing agreement with Future Publishing (the company that currently produces Nintendo Power) and has no intentions to take over the publication itself, according to insider sources speaking to Ars Technica. A now-deleted tweet from NP staff suggested this was accurate.

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, according to Ars Technica's source.

We've reached out to Future Publishing and Nintendo for comment. Originally launching in 1988, Nintendo Power was run in-house by Nintendo until the property was licensed to Future in 2007.

Welp.

I've been a Nintendo Power subscriber for literally most of my life, so this is very disappointing to me.

Yeah. They used to have a bunch of cool things in it like having their mail section filled with decorated envelopes, and stuff. I don't mind getting rid of the fan art, but.

meh looks like another gaming webcomic that tries to be funny and fails spectacularly

[pheonix561 2080]

There are so many gaming webcomics that they manage to be their own sub genre within the already subgenre that is webcomics

[DR SHRUBBERY! 1095]

Say what you want about Fanboys, but this is one of the few webcomics that still make me laugh.

And it isn't always about gaming, either.
