Title: R.I.P. Nintendo Power
Post by: Badnik96 on December 15, 2012, 12:43:31 PM: Just got the last issue today. Too bad it's gone, I'll have to rely on the internet and its false rumors for gaming news now. (I am not going back to the biased piece of crap that is GameInformer)

Just post your thoughts here.

Nintendo pulled a Kurt Cobain with the Wii.
By selling nearly 30 million more consoles than their two competitors?

Honestly, I felt it went terribly downhill when they introduced the NEStor comic. That's when I gave up. No idea if it got better after that. The reviews were decent, the tips and tricks were integral, the cheat codes were like CRACK COCAINE TO ME!!!11!! Oh, and the centerfolds were lulzy though the extended level maps were absolutely epic at the time.

I sold all my issues on ebay this past summer. Donthatemeguys.
