UK Mag Shuttered Due To Nintendo’s Increasing Non-Hardcore Focus

One entity that doesn’t seem too pleased with Nintendo’s “blue ocean” strategy is former UK publication N•Revolution. It’s closing up shop, in part because Nintendo has moved “away from the hardcore gaming community.”

That’s according to publisher Imagine’s managing director Damian Butt. He tells MCV “The decision to suspend N•Revolution has been taken because it has become increasingly obvious that Nintendo’s strategy for Wii and DS is no longer in line with Imagine Publishing’s target readership.”

We know some people are taking Wii Music pretty hard, but killing off your print publication? That’s sending a message.
