Nintendo Power is officially done with. The last issue has been completed and should be with subscribers and on newsstands sometime next month.
Editor Phil Theobald says the next magazine contains “some pretty outstanding stuff” and the staff believes “it’s a suitable end for the magazine’s 24 year run”.
“Just for the record, today was the final day of Nintendo Power. We finished up the final issue and shipped it off. The final issue (#285, December 2012) should be hitting newsstands on December 11, so please look forward to it (subscribers will likely get it earlier). There is some pretty outstanding stuff in the issue that we’re very proud of. We think that it’s a suitable end for the magazine’s 24 year run. Man, I can’t wait for people to see it.”

Retro City Rampage’s release on Wii (through WiiWare) is still in the pipeline. When it finally does launch, players will be able to take advantage of a few control schemes.
The 2D open-world title will offer support for the Wiimote, GameCube controller, and Classic controller. Developer VBlank Entertainment suggests using the latter option over the first two, however.
