[Rumour] Nintendo Power Shutting Down?

[JFC]

IGN is currently running with a rumor that the long-running, internally published magazine Nintendo Power may be ceasing operations within the year. The site's sources tell them that "mass layoffs are underway and that employees are being told to look for new work by September."

Nintendo Power was still around? I swear I stop seeing that Magazine half a year after the Gamecube launch

Nintendo Power got really old really fast so this is hardly a surprise.

There's some much information available online now that advermags like NP aren't really necessary to get the word out anymore.

Now, see, I only got NP for Zelda and Wii info. (I mean, I wanted actual evidence telling me it was good. )

But, yeah, I can see with the internet that some of these gaming and computer magazines wouldn't last. Now, EGM uses 1UP.com also, so they can survive as a magazine, but NP has, I guess, nothing, right?
