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. |
thats the thing, the core gamer is very misinformed this gen if you take a list of all the core title released this gen and compare it to previous gen you will see that the time line almost match up the only thing missing is some third party core titles, and you can not blame nintendo for third parties not putting their best effort into the wii we have seen just as many core title on the wii as we did with the game cube at similar points in their lives....its just what we also have is a up swing in the amount of casual games
