Nintendo Power is gone, but we learned today that its legacy will live on—in the form of Nintendo Force, a brand new magazine with a staff composed of "a dream team" of Nintendo games journalists. IGN's Lucas Thomas wrote in his announcement of the new publication:
Head to nintendoforcemagazine.com to read the full, official announcement and mission statement for the new magazine, and follow them on Twitter/like them on Facebook, as well.
It's unclear what Nintendo's stake in all this is—presumably Nintendo Force had to get permission to use the name, but other than that little is known. And it's doubly unclear how they plan to keep Nintendo Force afloat when Nintendo Power literally just shut down. How will they succeed where others failed? No doubt all will be revealed in time, and in the meantime we wish them luck.
