parislemon: Kyle Orland: 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 Power magazine 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. End of an era. Nintendo Power was hands-down my favorite magazine from the age of about 6 until 10 or so. Each issue was more or less a glorified ad for Nintendo. But it was a spectacular glorified ad.
