Following the upcoming heartbreaking closure of Nintendo Power, which was announced last week, Future is now also planning to close Nintendo Gamer magazine.
In response to the closure, Nintendo Gamer publisher Lee Nutter responded to CVG with the following statement: ''After careful consideration we've taken the decision to close Nintendo Gamer magazine. However, with Future's ongoing strategy to drive digital growth across its international, digitally-focused brand business, the website, Nintendo-Gamer.net will continue as excitement builds ahead of Nintendo's Wii U launch."
The line of independent British Nintendo magazines started 20 years ago in 1992 with Super-Play and was followed up by N64 Magazine, NGC and the finally NGamer. This week's issue, which will be released on September 6, will be its last. The final issue will include a feature, that holds insights from old editors as well as covers from the magazines history.
''We've tried to give Nintendo Gamer a fitting send-off and this issue is dedicated to all of our loyal readers from over the years. We hope they enjoy it," added Ellis. Similar to the decisions made at Nintendo Power, the current print editors will be moved to other Future positions.
