Nintendo Power explains the reasoning behind the “January/February” issue

The latest Nintendo Power is known as the “January/February” issue. We’ve never seen the magazine “merge” two months into one before. What happened there?

Editor in chief Chris Slate explained that a “scheduling quirk” led to the latest issue being called the “January/February” edition:

“On a side note, this issue is labeled ‘January/February’ due to a scheduling quirk, but things will go back to normal with the March issue, which will be followed by April, May, June, etc. Subscribers will still get the same number of copies they signed up for, so just ignore the slight strangeness of the ‘January/February phrasing, and everything will seem perfectly normal.”
