‘Tis a sad day indeed . Nintendo has confirmed that the long running Nintendo Power magazine is going out of print! Future Publishing will be transferring their staff from this project to other projects. It’s definitely sad that such a storied magazine is shutting down. The last issue should be a bittersweet one and should be picked up for sure. What are your favourite memories of this magazine?

The highly anticipated sequels, Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 will be making it’s way over to North America on October 7. I’m hoping this will be a good enough of a game to tide fans over to a 3DS iteration of the main RPG line of this game.
Project Sora, the studio behind Kid Icarus: Uprising has closed their doors as of June 30 and their website will be shut down by July 31. The studio was founded by Masahiro Sakurai and Satoru Iwata in 2009.
Sakurai will now be focusing his efforts on the new Smash Bros game.
I think the video pretty much speaks for itself, showing off what characters can do with multiple skills stacked onto a character, and how epic Fire Emblem can/could be if the player were allowed full access to these skills in game. There are a series of videos created by the same user showing off characters from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn dueling against other characters from the series. Both of which I find it quite entertaining, and rather epic.
Nintendo is making old 8-bit games available this summer every week for the 3DS. This week they will be releasing NES Open Tournament Golf and Legend of Zelda. Remember to check back every week on the eShop to check out new games!
A New Challenger Approaches! Namco Bandai to make new Smash Bros
So it looks like for the first time ever that Super Smash Bros. will bring in new blood from the partnership for the 3DS version with some help from top creators from Namco Bandai. What do you think of this idea of bringing on third party devs to do first party games?
