This month is the last month that print gaming magazine Nintendo power will put out an issue. Ars Technica has a great article written up on it here http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/11/final-nintendo-power-cover-brings-the-magazine-full-circle/

It’s sorta sad to see something that I grew up with ending after so many years of production.  But with the invent of the internet and the ability to put info out same day without having to wait for a publish date, it makes sense that print can’t compete or keep up with that.  

I especially like the cover almost matching the cover from issue 1 all the way back to 1988.  It’s ironic that it hits around the same time that Nintendo is launching their latest console, the Wii U.  I don’t think many were still reading hte print magazine so probably won’t have much affect on the bottom line as a whole.  But I just imagine a kid sitting in the back seat flipping thru the magazine telling their mom and dad all the games they need to buy them.  But maybe I’m just dreaming of the past… and not the future.
