@mesoteto: The guy may be right, after all is core gamers who usually go out and buy game magazines to be well informed about what's coming up. Casual gamers will just go out and buy a game whenever they enter a store, they dont have clue about upcoming games most of the times.
They had to close it because it looks like core gamers weren't interested in what Nintendo is offering this gen, so people weren't buying their magazines. If sales go down it's because of a reason, not because magazines are thing of the past, cause every other single magazine would be disappearing. The thing is Nintendo chose to go more into the casual side of gaming this gen, hence the slow sales of their magazines. During the GC era, I can assure you sales were way higher.
Let's hope that the other remaining Nintendo magazines stay on float, I have a big collection of the Club Nintendo magazines, which is the official magazine for Latin America. But it's been a while since they have arrived here, I'm fearing the worst.
