Happy Five-Year Anniversary . . . to Us!
Added 2018-01-11 17:38:40 +0000 UTCHappy Five-Year Anniversary, Nintendo Force fans!
Yes indeed, it was exactly five years ago today when the very first issue of NF Magazine was published on January 11, 2013. Our goal in making this all-new magazine was to keep the legacy of Nintendo coverage alive in physical magazine form following the cancellation of Nintendo Power, and thanks to your support we've kept that mission rolling for half a decade now! The NP lineage remains unbroken to this day, as we've put out a new issue every two months for five solid years.
Thank you all so much for your continued support! We're only able to keep NF going because of you. And because there are so many of you (and we've blown past even our highest stretch goal on our Patreon page) we're kicking off an extra series of rewards today!
Attached to an email that's just been sent to all of our patrons in good standing is a download link for you to claim a digital copy of our debut issue, now exactly five years old. You can see how far NF has come over the years by looking back on how things looked when we were just starting out! It's also a nifty glance back into Nintendo's past, as here on a day when we've just had a fresh Nintendo Direct that further fans the flames of the Nintendo Switch's success, we have this reminder that things weren't quite so rosy for the company at the beginning of the Wii U era.
This is just the first in a planned series of ongoing free back issue releases for our patrons โ from this point forward, every back issue will be sent to all patrons in good standing in digital form, for free, when it hits its own fifth birthday. I wanted to wait until today to kick this off on the actual five-year anniversary date for NF overall, but to keep things tidy future free back issues will be sent to you all alongside new issue releases. So when Issue #32 is published next month, the download link to the old Issue #2 will be sent at the same time. When Issue #33 is published, old Issue #3 will accompany it. And so on and so forth.
If you have enough patience and maintain your support long enough, you'll end up with the whole NF back catalog for free. But if you want to speed the process along, there is a Five-Year Mega Bundle for sale at NFMagazine.com for a limited time.
Thank you all once again, and Happy Birthday . . . to us!

I haven't received the free pdf of issue 2 yet. Does it get sent once the physical version of issue 32 gets released? I was under the assumption that it came at the same time the digital version of issue 32 (which I have received) was sent out?
2018-02-25 09:35:48 +0000 UTCLooking back the magazine sure has improved over the first issue.
2018-02-23 23:25:29 +0000 UTCWhy is there no February issue?

2018-02-09 04:51:08 +0000 UTCWhen is the next issue?
2018-02-07 11:57:53 +0000 UTCMessaging them on here would probably help.
2018-01-23 22:35:29 +0000 UTCHello, I got my order of magazines in the mail but issue #1 is damaged in the back. I would like to request for a replacement. If someone could direct me to where i can file this that would be great. I really enjoy these magazines and i wish to have them in good condition for collection reasons.

2018-01-21 23:41:01 +0000 UTCJust purchased the 5 year pack from your store, looking forward to catching up. Only recently picked up a Switch, haven't had a Nintendo console since the GameCube, looking forward to reading what's been going over the last 5 years.

2018-01-14 20:48:22 +0000 UTCLucas you run a great magazine! Sad to see Miiverse shutdown last year but NF magazine also has a wonderful Nintendo loving community. All the best in the new year! Also, loving the idea of getting back issues in electronically. It'll give me something to read while I wait for the latest physical copy to arrive via snail mail, ha.
2018-01-13 15:56:26 +0000 UTCCongrats on 5 years! You truly have an awesome magazine here. Hope you will be around for many more years to come.
2018-01-13 06:14:36 +0000 UTCCongratulations On Putting Out A fantastic Magazine For A Company That Time & Publishers Forgot. Best Of Luck On Another Few Decades..
2018-01-13 00:18:48 +0000 UTCMany of the early issues are sold out of their original print runs. We're looking into some new solutions for that, though!

2018-01-12 14:12:50 +0000 UTCCongratulations on 5 years! Any bonuses for us who have been here since the beginning (oh, the MagCloud days...) and already have "the whole NF back catalog"?
2018-01-12 07:18:40 +0000 UTCWhy is there not an option to get every issue as a print copy?
