Mags are on their way out. Online media outlets are where its at.

NintendoLife Magazine?
[faints at the thought]

EDIT: I mean: that sounds like a GOOD idea.

Sadly, Corbie's right. Many magazines are struggling to stay afloat.

Perhaps an e-mag?

How about we have a Reader Reviews/Creative Corner?

Magazines are going no where and the print media is in no danger. certain magazines are hurting now, true, but the've got to come up with some new way to compete. that's nothing new, though, it's capitalism. they've just gotten lazy, and have lost innovation, and that's what's killing them.

That'd be awesome. Maybe have exclusive reviews and features in the mag that isn't on the site. I'd sub for sure.

A magazine would be a step backwards, online is a far superior format for Nintendo Life !

Tell that to the dozens of papers and magazines that have gone under in the past few years.

well, as my whole ost said, there are papers and magazines that have, and more that will, but the medium itself is and will be fine. it just needs to quit being lazy and try something new.

The benefit of the site over a printed publication is time... we live in an age where the moment something happens the world knows seconds later. With a mag, you get that information anywhere from a week to a month later than the internet... with RSS feeds, Twitter, Podcasts, facebook amongst others information can be delivered to individuals faster and easier than ever and at a cost of nothing to us readers.

We're happy we can pay for the site's operation as-is. The costs to launch a new magazine that's likely to fold would be beyond our grasp. Frankly I'd think paid part or full-time staff would be a bigger priority (though we're doing pretty well for a volunteer-run effort, I'm sure all will agree).

Well there's a fix for that Sean. We can release a hardcore porn magazine and just include some Nintendo Life coverage mixed in there. You hardly ever see a porn mag fold.

@Corbie. Good idea!! Just no Prosody centre spreads please!!!

What's this bit for again?

StarBoy91

I thought the magazine was gonna be clean.
EDIT: I am sorry to sound offended, but I'd rather read a magazine with clean content than with unclean content

Sorry about that, Pros. It's just sometimes I take things too seriously.

I'm not sold on the tablet PCs just yet. I still think laptops are more functional and practical. But who knows...
