S'pose.  It certainly stirs my memory centers (wonder whatever happened to that SF2 strategy guide I used to have?), and obviously the decline of the print industry is of great personal concern to me, but...well, it should have gone before EGM did.

And who knows, give it a couple years maybe it'll be back (in name) like EGM is.

Sad? About GamePro? Man, you are talking about one of the great fucking wastes of gaming, up there with Akklaim and Dawn the MMO and online DRM. The resources freed up from not having to print that rag anymore can be used for something more useful, like persionally monogrammed tissue paper or old-school giant sized perforated printer paper.

GamePro had been a vastly better magazine in the last few years. Not that it matters anymore, I guess.

Okay, I wasn't sad about GamePro's cancellation until it made Dogstar come back.

So that leaves, what, GamePro left out of the old guard?

Not no more.

Well, and Nintendo Power, of course.

Nintendo Power to cease publication.

The mercenary in me thinks this would be a great damn time to sell my back issues on eBay.

The Secret of Mana walkthrough was split across 3 months and I've lost one of them.

Every issue from #241 (May 2009) to present.

Nah, my subscription lapsed around the time the GameCube came out.  But I've got everything up 'til then.  (Don't intend to sell all of it, but a good chunk.)

All I want is the Secret of Mana issue.

That...I could probably help you with.  Can't check now; it's in a box somewhere at my grandparents' house at the moment.

The white dragon on the cover of that issue didn't look anything like Flammie or wathever other dragon was in the game. Was there ever a good Nintendo Power cover???

... I am going to hunt those down and see if we have a full set.
Mine are definitely in "neglected" quality though.

The latest in the long, strange saga of 1UP: News Corp has sold IGN and all of its subsidiaries, including 1UP, to... Ziff Davis.

1up, UGO, and Gamespy are done.  Parish didn't lose his job, and will be writing for IGN.  That is all.  :(
