RIP Nintendo Power

[sTr]

Nintendo has confirmed the news of Nintendo Power's closing, which we first reported yesterday, saying that the magazine will cease publishing at the end of the year. “Nintendo can confirm that Future US will end the production of Nintendo Power magazine with the last issue slated for December 2012," the company said in a statement, directing users to a customer service page for subscription inquiries.

Nintendo also seemed to cut off the possibility that it might once again publish the magazine internally. "Nintendo Power magazine is closing and is not moving to a new publisher," a spokesperson said. "We have nothing further to announce at this time.”

UPDATE: Nintendo Power Senior Editor Chris Hoffman seemed to confirm our source's information on Twitter, saying that he was "sad to see it go" and that the editorial team would "try to make the last issues memorable." Nintendo Power writer Phil Theobald, meanwhile, promised on Twitter that they had "something pretty sweet planned for the final issue."
