Issue #28: The Element of Surprise! – July/August 2017
Added 2017-06-20 03:15:03 +0000 UTCGreetings once again, Nintendo Force fans! How about that E3, huh? Were you as shocked and surprised as we were? It was incredible to see the power that simply putting the number "4" on the screen can have!
We didn't know exactly which surprises would be revealed in Los Angeles last week, but we knew that E3 could be counted on to bring at least a few out-of-nowhere unveilings. So we planned ahead and made the theme of this issue be "The Element of Surprise!" Within its pages we walk back over the history of big Nintendo surprise reveals and see how E3 2017's announcements stack up against them.
We also hold a debate on spoilers, interview popular YouTuber Arlo to get his perspective on being a spoilerphobe and also shine the spotlight on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, which is our cover game for this edition. It was meant to be a surprise reveal at E3 too, but Ubisoft sprung about a million leaks over the past eight months, so we knew quite a bit about the game before its official unveiling! That's all part of surprise culture in the gaming industry, though, so it's part of the discussion here.
Digital subscribers, keep an eye on your email inbox for the PDF edition of this issue to arrive during the day on Tuesday, June 20.
The Magzter version for tablets will follow a few days later – hopefully no later than this Friday, June 23.
And the print edition should show up in most mailboxes by early July! As always, the timing of print delivery depends on where you're physically located on the planet. (We're still working on the Warp Pipe technology to be able to instantly send issues anywhere.)
Thanks for your support as always, NF patrons! This has been the 9th issue we've published since our transition here to Patreon, which means our next issue is going to be our 10th one here! We'll mark that milestone by making a major Metroid-themed issue for you. Keep an eye on our main page at Patreon.com/NintendoForce, as I'll be updating it with a sneak peek of the cover art and wall posters soon!
