Nintendo Nintendo Power to cease publication

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/08/source-nintendo-power-magazine-to-cease-publication/

UPDATE: Nintendo Power senior editor Chris Hoffman seemed to confirm our source's information on Twitter, saying that he was "sad to see it go" and that the editorial team would "try to make the last issues memorable." Nintendo Power writer Phil Theobald, meanwhile, promised on Twitter that they had "something pretty sweet planned for the final issue." [Further update: It seems the tweets in question have been deleted after publication.]

ORIGINAL ARTICLE
Gamers of a certain age likely remember the days when their main fix of information about new and upcoming video games came in the form of the monthly Nintendo Power magazine that was delivered directly to their mailbox. That experience is set to become yet another relic of a past era, as Ars Technica has learned that Future Publishing is planning to stop publishing the magazine.

Nintendo Power is one of the longest-running game magazines in the country, having been published continuously since the summer of 1988, when it started as a bi-monthly outgrowth of the previous Nintendo Fun Club newsletter. Nintendo produced and distributed the magazine (with articles that were often just thinly veiled marketing copy) from 1989 through late 2007, when it started contracting the brand out for a more independent angle from tech-and-game-focused Future Publishing.

But our source says that Nintendo, which was always "difficult to work with," was uninterested in renewing that contract or in taking part in a number of digital initiatives that Future saw as necessary for the long-term health of the brand. He added that Nintendo doesn't seem interested in taking over direct control of the magazine again (Nintendo and Future representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story).

Nintendo Power editors and staffers were told of the magazine's impending shuttering last week, the source said, and are currently being transitioned to work on other Future properties, including GamesRadar and MacLife magazine. The move should not affect Future's other gaming magazines, which include official periodicals for the PlayStation and Xbox brands, as well as Best Buy's @Gamer.

It's unclear exactly how many more issues of Nintendo Power are planned after the recently published August issue (its 281st), or how current subscribers will be compensated. Nintendo Power enjoys a total monthly readership of 475,000, according to Future press materials.

Nintendo Power's shuttering comes during a time of continuing struggles for the US magazine industry, which saw overall circulation numbers decline 10 percent in the first half of 2012. Gamers have increasingly come to rely on online sources for more timely and less space-limited gaming coverage, leading the venerable GamePro magazine to stop publishing late last year after 23 years in print.

There is at least one bright spot in the world of printed game magazines. Game Informer rose to become
the third most popular magazine in the country this year, with nearly 6 million subscribers that were mostly gained through its point-of-sale relationship with mega-retailer GameStop.

Even though I don't read them any more, I used to, and it's not good seeing such a great magazine getting shut down.

Heavy Rain Director Tells the Gaming Industry to Grow Up

"I mean, how many first person shooters can you make? ... There's a moment where we need to grow up."

- David Cage, director on Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls

In a new interview at Gamescom, the outspoken director of Heavy Rain talked to Gamasutra about his frustration with the industry and its refusal to move to more mature subject matter.

At the show, the developer showcased his studio's upcoming title,Beyond: Two Souls, an adventure game starring actress Ellen Page. The story follows the lead character's life from age 8 to age 23.

"I think we should have more courage in our industry and take more risks, because I think this is what the industry needs now. I mean, how many first person shooters can you make? How many monsters/aliens/zombies can you kill in games? There's a moment where we need to grow up. We need to grow up," Cage told Gamasutra.

"I often think that the industry suffers of the Peter Pan syndrome. It's the fact that we don't want to grow up, so we stay kids. But there is a moment where you need to grow up as an industry. And you cannot keep up with the Peter Pan syndrome. You need to grow. And I think this is the right time," he said.

The full interview with Cage will be live on Gamasutra in the near future.

Using the word director here is funny because of their quick time event movies.

Alright so let's look at what's truly wrong here

Can't bypass the swear filter any more. Can't say f*** anymore. Let me try. **** ***** **** ****. Okay cool, I can say ****, but I wasn't aware that everyone on this site was five years old and can't handle these words. **** will later be changed to poop because it's very kid friendly and it sounds funny. edit: Okay looks like I can still bypass the filter motherfuckers.

Can't change skins. Let's hope this changes. I don't like this skin, and it's ugly compared to that old skin I was using. KHV 4.2 or whatever. Misty, bring your beautiful piece of graphic design back to this site.

Looks like Facebook bought out KHV. A news feed, "liking comments", and a notification system for any time someone does anything relevant to you. Yes, facebook is successful so let's copy all of it's social networking features because everyone likes those. Introducing the KHV Timeline v.5.1

No rep system. What is this? No de-repping any more? Oh I forgot, no one ever used de-rep once its stopped being anonymous because you're all a bunch of fucking chickens. Either that or nobody dislikes me. (hahahaha)

I'm only complaining because I want to make a KHV a better place and I applaud the staff for their great work so far.

I'M KIDDING. I'M NOT A NICE PERSON.
