ATTENTION ALL READERS

*n-gamers.blogspot.com will officially be closed as of this post*

I've finally decided that it is time to close this blog. After 8 months of news, reviews and sharing other info, this blog is coming to an end. I'm sure you'll all have noticed the lack of posts I've been making in the recent weeks, this was due to me being too busy for constant blog updates. The number of visitors per day has been dropping steadily down to about 65 a day, and I'd like to offer a BIG thank you to those of you who are still visiting.

N-gamers was originally created to share the latest info and rumours concerning Nintendo's outcoming console, Revolution. Sinc the controller and most details have been unveiled at last year's TGS, there really isn't much point for the blog to continue. Sure, I could post news articles and such, but there is nothing you won't be able to find at hald a dozen other gaming resources.

A special thanks to RAB, Johno, Bluelight and Froggy, these viewers have been contributing most to the blog. And a thank you to Falafelkid of the nintendo-revolution blog, for adding me to the blog list and greatly boosting the number of visitors. And lastly, a thank you to every fellow gamer who has visited n-gamers, it has been a great privilage and a great experience to be able to share my interests of gaming with you all.

Now to the more important stuff, I am now posting for another gaming resource, Nintendo Players, where I'm employed as a general writer. If you've enjoyed reading entries on this blog, please be sure to check out nintendoplayers.com. NP is the ultimate online Nintendo Resource. With constant (and numerous) updates, including articles, previews/reviews, exclusive news, we are hoping to create a community for Ninty fans of all kinds. Please also check out the forums :).

Basically, rather than retiring I am simply moving, and you can contact me at Nintendo Players in the future. My forum username is "Satoru Iwata", and NP email is jcranston@nintendoplayers.com, alternatively you can try immortaltoad@gmail.com. Also, if anyone wishes to add me to their MKDS list my friend code is 133203 986406. Be warned, I snake :P.

Well, thanks again to all who have been following this blog, it has been a pleasure. Who knows, perhaps some day I'll decide to have this place up and running again, and I'll be sure to notify anyone who's interested if I do :D.

Edit: Wow, I found it incredibly hard to make that post, guess the 156 entries I've posted really gave me an attraction to this blog...

Nintendo World: Store Of The Year

Article courtesy of gonintendo.com, direct link at http://gonintendo.com/?p=713:

At the 35th Annual Institute of Store Planners/Visual Merchandising and Store Design (ISP/ VM + SD) International Store Design Competition Awards, the Nintendo World Store picked up the dubious honor of Store of the Year. It also picked up the First Place Store over 10,000 Square Feet award, but you know Nintendo is enjoying the first award much more!

JohntheSavage had just popped into the Nintendo World Store yesterday to bring his lady friend there, and she was very impressed with the location. I always found the store to be a very welcoming place, with a very open, comfortable atmosphere. Congratulations to Nintendo on this win, and may this award bring even MORE attention to the store!
