Kyle Orland for Ars Technica:

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 Powermagazine 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.

It’s truly sad to see a legendary magazine like this cease to exist. There were few reading materials growing up that brought as much joy as Nintendo Power. It was the original video game blog.
