It appears that reports of Nintendo Power's death have been greatly exaggerated. Or slightly misinterpreted. While changes are afoot in the marketing department at Nintendo—that division is relocating some to San Francisco, some to New York City—the Nintendo-branded magazine will indeed live on.

Game Informer spoke with Nintendo of America Vice President of Corporate Affairs Perrin Kaplan who confirmed that while the company is moving certain folks out of Redmond, Nintendo Power is not shutting down. Instead, the magazine will become a "licensed property" still owned by Nintendo.

If there's any confusion about that, Kaplan says that details are forthcoming, including information on who the new owner of the magazine will be. Your subscription lives to see another day. Michael McWhertor
