I definitely need to pick one up (maybe two - need that poster!). I hope Barnes & Noble still carries this mag, because I honestly have no clue where else to buy it. Every time I check a magazine rack these days, NP is nowhere to be found.
If you have a Target try there, that's where I'm usually able to find them.
Walmart and Hastings also have it.

Anyone know what date this issue will be hitting the newsstands?
December 11th.

I own the first issue, I definitely need to find this.
Thinking about maybe framing them side by side...
Thank you for the information, it'll be a sad day as it's one of two magazines I still enjoy and read cover to cover, Food Network is the other. I'm definitely getting 2 copies of this though, one for me and one to keep in nice shape and maybe hang on a wall.

Nintendo Life: Baby on the way? 7 tips about how to combine parenthood with gaming.


.....that would actually be very useful :lol:
No, just stop, dont go there, there is nothing cool about mixing parenting and gaming imo.

there's actually a magazine in UK published by Future plc named "Official Nintendo Magazine" which is still going.. not sure how "official" it is though but i am auto subscribe to it as a replacement for my Ngamer magazine that was just canned. I actually like the magazine format and the writers are not bad either (plus it seems they give free stuff with the mag). So it will be my only dedicated Nintendo Magazine left. my last NP issue will be coming in my mail soon.. :( i hope they go out with a Bang.

I just went to Barnes & Noble last night to pick up the last Nintendo Power issue, and they still have last month's Wii U issue on the stands. :(

Picked it up at Fleet Farm on Saturday. They did a great job putting together the last issue and the last two pages featuring a great return, which I won't spoil, brought a tear to this old man's eyes. Thank you Nintendo and Future Publishing for almost 25 years of the World's Greatest Non-Comic Magazine.

*sigh* brings a tear to this old fart's eyes :(

...and OMG I just realized that there's a flagpole on the last one... that does not quell the sadness.
