The Official Nintendo Magazine coming a close with issue issue 114, some 22 years after it started life as Nintendo Magazine System and has followed all the systems till the Wii U and 3DS.
It's unknown if the ONM site will continue as it has become quiet of late and like it's sister sites OXM and OPM have also had their staff cut right down. Today the ONM site posted this.
The last issue of Official Nintendo Magazine, which launched in the UK in 2002, will be in stores on 14th October, 2014 (Issue 114). Throughout its tenure, Official Nintendo Magazine has continued to bring fans, news, interviews, previews and reviews on both new and retro Nintendo hardware and software.
Nintendo will continue to speak directly to fans via Nintendo Direct, our social media and online channels and public events.
Nintendo UK and Future will continue to work closely on future projects across Gamesradar.com, CVG, Edge, Kotaku UK and Gamesmaster.
The Official Nintendo Magazine has been published by Future since 2006, prior to this it was published by EMAP.
For Official Nintendo Magazine subscription inquiries, please contact the Future Customer Services team on 0844 848 2852 (UK) or +44 1604 251045 (International).
This also marks the end of Nintendo in print as there are currently no other Nintendo magazines on the stands
Abe's Take
It's a sad truth of the modern world that most magazines will disappear, I doubt my children will buy any when they have access to all their news on several devices for free. It's a shame that a Magazine that has like us followed Nintendo from the NES wont get to see Nintendo's next systems
Goodbye ONM it's been great and thank you.
