Nintendo Power closing its doors was like the end of an era for many gamers and was just one of many publications having to close its doors in 2012. In a strange twist, it seems the magazine’s spirit lives on: Nintendo Force Magazine is coming this way, and it’s kind of a big deal.
A magazine filled with the best names in Nintendo-related journalism and media is a Nintendo fan’s dream — and it’s coming true.
IGN’s Lucas Thomas has put great efforts toward ensuring that Nintendo Power doesn’t die. After the announcement of the magazine’s closure, he began a quest to keep its legacy alive. Thomas contacted some of the most enthusiastic Nintendo-centric professionals on the internet, and eventually got 16 of them on Nintendo Force Magazine staff.
The list of names joining Nintendo Force Magazine are as follows:
- Aaron Kaluszka – Nintendo World Report
- Camille Young – Sculpture artist
- Corbie Dillard – Nintendo Life
- Daan Koopman – Nintendaan
- David Oxford – TMMN, Mario’s Hat, 1UP
