NP to be published by Future Media - expect more cock references
Nintendo today announced that they’ve entered into an agreement to have Future Publishing print Nintendo Power magazine. Future is the company that’s brought you such shit as “Official Xbox Magazine” and “PC Gamer.” And I can call it shit because I was a Contributing Editor there (ie “Freelancer”). Seriously, this is a magazine that tries to make the writers more important than the games and hardware (The Vede, anyone).
It will be extremely interesting to see how they take a magazine that catered to the Nintendo fanbase which is decidedly younger and put their “cock in your face” attitude to it. Well it won’t be that interesting, as I expect their circulation to die, but it will be fun to laugh at.
