ONM #114 is the magazine’s last. The final magazine was produced and released this month.
It’s certainly sad to see that Official Nintendo Magazine has closed, but the pain is eased – though only slightly – with some neat things from some of the more important people at Nintendo.
First, Shigeru Miyamoto drew a special picture – shown above. There’s also a message from Nintendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata. You can find that below.
Update: Now over, but you can find the full replay below.
This week’s Discussing Everything will begin at 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT as usual. We’ll be talking about the latest news, including the Smash Bros. Wii U presentation! You’ll also have the chance to submit any random questions/comments towards the end of today’s event.
Note that you can log in with Facebook/Twitter, but these are optional. You can choose a random username as well!

If it wasn’t already clear from this week’s Smash Bros. Wii U presentation, the game is filled to the brim with music. It has many more tracks compared to the 3DS version as well as Smash’s last console entry, Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
A screencap taken from the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U “50-Fact Extravaganza” presentation reveals that the title will feature over 400 pieces of music. We know that there are at least 437 tracks – a significant amount for sure!
