We’ve seen the closure of two big Nintendo magazines within the past year. Nintendo Power ended its 20+ year run in 2012, and UK publication Nintendo Gamer shuttered last year as well.

Yet another Nintendo magazine announced its end today. Dutch publication [N]Gamer is calling it quits after being in print for close to a decade.

I suppose this just goes to show that magazines truly are in decline…

Team Meat could support Nintendo platforms in the future… under one condition. Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes, the studio’s primary staffers, want to see Meat Boy in a Smash Bros. game. If the character made it into the upcoming Wii U/3DS releases, Team Meat would be more than happy to make Mew-Genics – the company’s next game – for Nintendo.

McMillen: “I want Meat Boy to be in Smash Bros. That would be the one reason I’d really want to develop for a Nintendo console.”

Refenes: “That would be amazing! If they could guarantee us Meat Boy would be in Smash Bros., we would do something.”

McMillen: “Nintendo are you listening? Smash Bros! We would ask for nothing in return. Just f***ing use the character. Put him in the game. It’s free!”

Refenes: “If they wanted Mew-Genics or something and they could promise us Meat Boy would be in the game we’d develop Mew-Genics for them. Not exclusively, of course. This is how they would buy it from us. And that’s a very cheap price.”

Warner Bros. is planning on releasing a brand new Batman: Arkham game this year. Rumors have suggested that Rocksteady Studios, the developer behind the series’ first two titles, isn’t making the game. Instead, Warner Bros. Montreal may be handling the project.

Might an announcement be on the way? The official Batman: Arkham Asylum page has been deleted, and the Arkham City page has been renamed to “Batman Arkham” – maybe hinting at an upcoming announcement.
