Dunno if this has been mentioned, but the final issue of ONM contains a slightly uncomfortable 'Review of the Future' feature:

Mario Maker - 81. Good news! We're all Mario designers in the future! Bad news! Mario's Metacritic average takes a beating!

Yoshi's Wooly World - 13. Look - we've given this game a real drubbing.

The Legend of Zelda - 99. Zelda was so wonderful, that we're actually pretty glad we still didn't have jobs once it came out.

Most of the writers on twitter seem to be in pretty high spirits about it all. I don't think anyone was made redundant through the closure, I never bought it but seeing them copy bits online always suggested to me it had a dumb sense of humour that got pretty wry at times. The 13 for Yarn Yoshi made me lol.

I didn't realise that the Wii U version of Watch Dogs hasn't been released yet.

Top 200 Nintendo games pt.2 was fun. So many excellent games, the order is almost irrelevant.

It's one of the big* controversies in gaming at the moment. Conspiracy theorists suggest that it's because Ubisoft want the Wii U version to tank so they have an excuse to abandon the platform, after being one of the few 3rd parties to commit to it from the start.

*As big as any controversy can be in the world of pushing buttons to make flashy lights.

They've already said they ain't gonna support the console anymore (with M games at least)

There's a new kid in town to replace ONM, and the soon-to-be-folded Gamesmaster - 110% Gaming issue #1 arrived at work today. I haven't flicked through yet, so I'm only assuming it's a kids mag, but it did come with Lego stickers, Match Attax cards and posters. Maybe Haribo too, I have some in my pocket but I can't remember if they were from that or Go Girl!

Howdy, Stranger!
