According to Ars Technica, a technology news and information website, Nintendo Power magazine has opted NOT to renew their license with the publishing company Future US. It was discovered in a now deleted Tweet by the editor of the magazine. It is unknown how many more issues will be published. If it doesn't end in the next few months, it will end sometime in 2013.
Could this be true?! It's the longest running video game magazine ever! Please tell me it's only a rumor or a hoax. Don't go, Nintendo Power! I've had the "power" for 24 years. Don't do this to me!!
