Ya’ll might have heard already that Nintendo Power, after a strong 24 year run, has to release it’s final issue this December, thanks to difficulties with working with Nintendo, as well as Nintendo’s lack of interest in continuing the magazine. Which is dumb of Nintendo, but heck, we can be angry at them later.

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).
Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.
Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.

Nintendo filed a lawsuit in the United States Court of International Trade.
Nintendo of America is suing the United States government over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump put in place last year, according to a complaint filed Friday in the U.S. Court of International Trade and obtained by Aftermath.
LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.
I think Nintendo should give NP a super huge reveal for the final issue.
Sad to see it go. Hopefully something like it in digital form can come to WiiU eShop.
Off topic: looking at that clay Mario and Bowser makes me think Nintendo should try that artstyle in something. Maybe not a full game, but maybe a clay inspired level.
I use to get NP back in the NES days, I even remember that very cover.
Farewell old friend.
Even though I haven't gotten a Nintendo Power since the Gamecube era it still sucks that they are ending the publication.
