People still buy magazines?
It's the future already you guys.
Banning the, what..7th biggest magazine in America is probably a great idea Nintendo.

They give Nintendo games good scores but I agree with you. Nintendo coverage is scarce but now we see why.
Game Journalists possibly having to do some investigative journalism?
Must be awful not having your entire content handed to you by PR.
Nintendo doesn't understand that Western gaming press is actually your PR department!
"Nintendo tried to treat us like journalists! They didn't send us enough swag or moneyhats! WHAT THE FUCK, IWATA?"
Unlikely that they have banned Game Informer.
More likely that they simply do not care about Game Informer.

It's a fucking magazine, who cares?
So he doesn't even know but has to twit about it then half-redact with a snarky remark to make it look like it's not his fault even if he was wrong about it. Neat. Now game "journalists" don't even bother fact checking their own shit, never mind that of others.
Good luck with that consumer confusion now.

Nintendo seems content with releasing their own information and I think ultimately this is the best way to do it. GI readers aren't in need of information, the audience they need to inform is the one that likes Nintendo, bought a Wii/DS but doesn't keep up with gaming and let it rot. People have the internet, they use Facebook and Twitter, just connect directly to them, no need for bro-centric middle-men.
I know my mum is confused about the WiiU from only getting her news from newspapers rather than gaming mags. She thinks it going to be the next big thing and the media only thinks positive things about it. Dear oh dear mummy.
Then they are morons.
But I've pretty much already figured that out with their marketing and PR disasters. If they think they can get away with all this crap and still sell the Wii U like the original Wii, they might be in for a rude awakening.

Xenoblade.
You know what, ive got no problem with that. If i enjoy a shitty game, should i give it a great score cause im enjoying it? Or vice versa, i absolutely despise GTA, so should i give it a bad score because of that? Its more than just "i liked it so it gets a good score".
game informer thinks their banned. ninty thinks its 1080p. aint no body know shit.
Umm... outlets like Famitsu are far worse in terms of journalistic integrity than anything over in "the west".
Which isn't very clever from their part.Unlikely that they have banned Game Informer.
More likely that they simply do not care about Game Informer.
They ban Game Informer but still do business with Geoff "fanboy" Keighley and G4? OK.

I don't really see the logic of his call to arms. Why should consumers boycott a company for a conceived slight against anyone besides the consumer? Magazine previews are all well and good for the managing editor of a magazine, but they're fluff pieces whose value totally evaporates once the product actually hits the market.
Nintendo finally saw the infamous Paper Mario review.

You know Famitsu is literally a game publisher in Japan, right?
