Nintendo Power ceases publication after 24 years.

July 1993 - 50th Issue -
The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening

Nintendo fans received some upsetting news today from Nintendo and Future Publishing who put out the monthly news and strategy magazine known as Nintendo Power. It has been officially announced that Nintendo Power will stop being printed after its impressive 24 year run. Since its first issue in July/August 1988, fans have enjoyed the tips and great articles that came with each issue.

Reported by GoNintendo, Future Publishing stated that Nintendo is difficult to work with and did not want to "take part in a number of digital initiatives that Future saw as necessary" and that, "Nintendo doesn't seem interested in taking over direct control of the magazine again." It's a real shame that they couldn't work something out and hold on to celebrate their 25th Anniversary. It's true that magazines such as this should have a digital element for today's times but having the actual magazine to flip though and read is always a lot of fun.

You'll be missed Nintendo Power.
