Issue #21: Lost in Untranslation – May/June 2016
Added 2016-05-01 02:34:11 +0000 UTCOur finished Mother 3 issue is heading your way!
EarthBound fans are sure to be especially pleased by the volume we've just assembled, but even if you have no familiar with the Mother/EarthBound series, you'll love getting caught up with the decade-long saga of Mother 3's non-localization. And who knows? This may just be the perfect salute and send-off to the past 10 years of disappointment as we finally see the game get its long-overdue official English release very, very soon . . .
Distribution of this issue will follow the same schedule as last time:
1) The PDF edition will be emailed to Digital and Combo subscribers throughout the first week of May.
2) The Magzter edition will be unlocked for Digital and Combo subscribers as soon as possible after the PDF version goes out, hopefully by the second week in May.
3) The print edition will start showing up in Print and Combo subscribers' mailboxes likely during the third week in May. As always, delivery to addresses outside the United States may take longer.
Thank you all for your continued support, and I hope you enjoy the new Issue #21!

P.S. Thanks for your patience, too, if you've sent in a Patreon direct message or email and haven't heard back directly from me yet. When we get into crunch mode in the final days before our production deadline with our printing company, I get laser-focused on getting magazine pages finalized and uploaded to them, and I don't reply to incoming messages as quickly as I'd like! I'll get the inbox cleared out as soon as possible. :)

As of today, I sent 2 messages to them but never received any response. Have anyone of you get any luck getting in touch with them? It's the only issue I never received.
2016-11-01 14:49:23 +0000 UTCI'm with you Adam. In Canada. Got #22, but no #21. Have you left a message on the NintendoForceMagazine webpage. I think that's the best way to get in touch with them, you just have to be patient.
2016-08-02 00:43:41 +0000 UTCI just got issue #22 (in Canada), but I still never got this one.
2016-07-22 22:50:16 +0000 UTCI haven't either (in Canada). Glad to hear I'm not the only one.
2016-06-27 16:49:38 +0000 UTCI also haven't received issue #21. Looks like a lot of people are having the same "issue", so I'll be patient. :)
2016-06-27 06:09:37 +0000 UTCI haven't gotten issue #21 either
2016-06-27 00:33:31 +0000 UTCDear NF Customer Support, Can you please update me regarding my order number Order #7021 which was an order for issue number 21 of your magazine as I haven't received it yet. Kindly, can you provide me with a tracking number to follow up with my post office? Thank you very much and warm regards, Majed
2016-06-26 06:06:21 +0000 UTCHey I still haven't received issue #21.
2016-06-24 02:46:38 +0000 UTCI've been trying to reach you guys... I still have not received issue #21, I've really been looking forward to it since mother 3 is one of my favorite games! please get back to me..
2016-06-14 21:31:01 +0000 UTCI also haven't received issue #21
2016-06-10 03:02:05 +0000 UTCPM them, they missed a few shipments, they can send you a new copy. I went through it yesterday
2016-06-09 11:50:23 +0000 UTCStill haven't received it as well...
2016-06-08 08:33:28 +0000 UTCI still haven't receievd Issue 21 yet as well, so I'm a bit confused as to what's going on :(
2016-06-07 21:09:49 +0000 UTCI still haven't received issue 21. I recently moved so idk if that's the problem or what.
2016-06-05 00:17:06 +0000 UTCI wanted to wait as long as I could before mentioning it here, but I too have yet to receive issue 21, and it's now June 4...Anyone else still having this problem? I will likely fill out the form on the Nintendo Force official site later today to send notice. I'm spooked because I don't want to miss an issue!
2016-06-04 08:16:25 +0000 UTCAlso waiting on #21 and I live in the USA.
2016-06-02 12:43:14 +0000 UTCstill waiting for issue #21.. #20 came real quick.
2016-06-01 19:21:47 +0000 UTCSame here, though I moved and have to wait on mail forwarding.
2016-06-01 02:56:50 +0000 UTCHuh, it must be something on their end. So many of us without #21.

2016-05-31 03:29:39 +0000 UTCMe too, I have no issue #21 and I am in the US.

2016-05-31 02:26:04 +0000 UTCNintendo Force is definitely legit. I have every issue and they are all amazing quality, do not feel cheap at all. I would say just keep trying and make sure your address is correct and check with your post office to be sure it isn't getting lost.
2016-05-31 02:24:59 +0000 UTCI love your magazines, but I still haven't gotten issue #21 yet, and I live in the US. Is there still a chance that it'll come in the mail or should I despair?

2016-05-31 01:53:14 +0000 UTCIt is the very last Saturday of May and still no issue #21. I am a US customer so overseas wait time does not apply here. I really loved the back issue #20 that I bought and received a few weeks ago, but eagerly await the next issue subscription (#21 ) which you received monies for already through auto payment.
2016-05-28 11:05:54 +0000 UTCWho do I contact to ask about this issue? I have yet to receive issue #21. I enjoy what you're doing with this magazine, and I hope that I can continue to support and receive this magazine.
2016-05-27 04:18:13 +0000 UTCReceived issue #21 yesterday, but still waiting on issue #19 that I ordered on March 18. It is now 3 months and this is my fourth message about my order. Nintendo force said that they will look into this, and that was two weeks ago, and still no update or email on what is causing this delay. I don't know how hard it is for them to send me a simple email on the status of my order. Oh well, at least I got issue #21, so I know Nintendo force is somewhat legit.
2016-05-24 23:22:30 +0000 UTCReceived the Zelda anniversary issue which I ordered along with my subscription, but I still have yet to receive my first issue (#21).
2016-05-24 09:50:51 +0000 UTCjust got mine today. another awesome issue. Cant wait for the next one
2016-05-23 19:21:10 +0000 UTCI haven't seen my issue 21 yet either.
2016-05-20 13:36:25 +0000 UTCIt's nearly the end of the third week and haven't got mine yet :(

Considering how it's only the beginning of the third week in May, you'll probably receive it within a few days or somewhat later. It depends...

2016-05-16 20:50:30 +0000 UTCSame here. Never received my print copy of #21.
2016-05-16 20:08:24 +0000 UTCNever received the print issue #21.
2016-05-16 18:59:44 +0000 UTCLast issue, I paid for print+digital, but never got my print, and this month, I paid for just digital, have been charged, but never got my digital copy... And now I see you guys are already showing what the next issue has in store... Um... Can someone figure out what's going on please?

2016-05-16 18:32:51 +0000 UTCDespite incredible proofreading efforts, typos do make it through from time to time. If you find one, congratulate yourself that you were more eagle-eyed than all of the NF staff combined. :p

2016-05-16 03:27:44 +0000 UTCYo Eric! We'll figure out what's up with your website order. :)

2016-05-16 03:25:51 +0000 UTCI paid for the digital+print copy of issue #19 on March 18, I got the digital version, but I haven't gotten the print copy yet. I sent TWO messages through the website regarding this issue, and for a status, or a tacking number of my issue, but haven't received an email back. I hope someone here can help me out. I would like to buy a couple more of back issues, but I don't want to get "burned" out of my money if I never received my first order: issue 19
2016-05-14 23:09:40 +0000 UTCI read on the Kindle app on my iPad. I find it the best, especially since I can blow up the text for myself. As you get older text gets smaller
2016-05-12 23:14:54 +0000 UTCWhat is the best app to read your magazine in?
Eric Villanueva
2016-05-04 11:35:44 +0000 UTCI have found a typo in Issue #21...I assume it's far too late to get it corrected before the physical print run?
2016-05-04 06:03:54 +0000 UTCI am in the same boat as you. I paid for issue 20, but do not have it yet.
2016-05-02 12:52:23 +0000 UTCThere is a mobile app called Magzter where you can read NF magazine on
2016-05-01 13:46:04 +0000 UTCI still haven't gotten my print copy of issue 20
2016-05-01 13:44:59 +0000 UTC"Magzter" edition? Any previous subscribers, can you explain what it is?
2016-05-01 03:28:58 +0000 UTCNothing official; just loads of rumors and speculation at this point.
2016-05-01 02:55:06 +0000 UTCDid I misread that!? Was it officially announced that Mother 3 was coming to the west?! Please let me have missed that news and it be true!!
