Greetings once again, Nintendo Force faithful! It's the first Monday of a new month, so it's time to check in with you all once again.
Work on our all-new Issue #25 with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the cover is quickly coming to an end, and the plan is to have it wrapped up by a week from Friday. One piece of the puzzle we still need to address, though, is the pages dedicated to our 2016 Game of the Year awards!

=============================

You don't have to submit nominees for all of them if you don't want to. Just the ones you care most strongly about is fine!
After we've got a good group of nominees for each category, I'll post a follow-up blog here on Patreon to present them all together and ask for everyone's votes. Your votes will then help us pick our winners, and the winners will be announced within Issue #25!
Speaking of winners, we need to reveal who among you was chosen by fate to be the recipient of our November Giveaway prize: the extra NES Classic Edition sitting here on my desk. The lucky winner is . . .
Barry Rokoff!
Congrats, Barry! If you struck out trying to grab one on Black Friday, the NF team is helping you out. It's heading your way, so keep an eye on your mailbox!
We do have another giveaway planned for this month, but we're still ironing out a detail or two regarding it, so please have patience and wait for a new announcement on that soon. In the meanwhile, let's hear those award nominations!
As always, thank you to you all for your continued support!

P.S. On the $12K goal being hit recently: Thank you all! We will adjust the tier prices down as promised if we can manage to stay above that goal level when we flip into January. That's because the support level tends to dip down every two months when credit cards are charged and some patrons' payments are declined. When we know we're good to stay above the goal level for the long haul, then we'll make the price edits. It will just be a few pennies knocked off at first, remember! But if we keep on growing as we have, we'll be able to lower the tiers even further in the future!
