The Nintendo Force

Hey there, Force fans! After wildly successful Kickstarter campaigns&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/910078610/nf-magazine-year-2-subscriptions/description" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">in 2014</a> and <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/910078610/nf-magazine-2015-renewals-and-new-subscriptions/description" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">2015</a>, the Nintendo Force made the leap here to Patreon in 2016! This is the place where fans have the chance to sign up and get new, Nintendo-focused magazines coming to your mailbox (or email inbox). It's time to join the Force of Nintendo fans! Subscribe to NF Magazine by becoming a patron on this page!<img src="https://d2j6dbq0eux0bg.cloudfront.net/images/79138309/3448620614.jpg" title="">Here's some background info for you. Back in December 2012, Nintendo Power Magazine shipped its final issue. That got a lot of long-time Nintendo fans upset, as NP had been the one consistent and reliable print magazine covering Nintendo video games ever since the '80s. Some of us had been subscribers for over two decades, and there were still tens of thousands of active subscribers getting new issues delivered in the mail up until that final issue.Well, we didn't want to see that legacy die. So we assembled a dream team of the most well-known Nintendo journalists from around the world and launched a new magazine four years ago! The first issue went on sale on January 11, 2013, exactly one month after Nintendo Power ended.Nintendo Force Magazine is not Nintendo Power, but we're carrying its torch forward into the future by paying homage to the best parts of NP's past while forging a new identity with an all-new team. So join the Force! Subscribe to NF Magazine by becoming a patron here on Patreon, and get all-new Nintendo magazines coming to your mailbox, your email inbox or directly to your digital reading device of choice!(Note for adults: Being an adult stinks when it comes to checking your mail. Nothing but bills, ads and piles of unsolicited coupons you'll never use in there. But for just a few bucks invested here, checking your mailbox can become an exciting, nostalgic experience once again! NF isn't just a magazine – it's an adult life morale booster.)<img src="https://d2j6dbq0eux0bg.cloudfront.net/images/79138309/3448646076.jpg" title="">This page isn't like other Patreon pages! Most Patreon creators charge your credit card every month. We don't do that. Here, you'll only see a charge pop up after we release a new issue – which happens every two months. We're bi-monthly. Six new issues per year, if you want to think of it that way! So become an NF patron with confidence!<img src="https://d2j6dbq0eux0bg.cloudfront.net/images/79138309/3448649259.jpg" title="">As we enter into the month of May, we'll be getting back-to-back ocean exploration adventures on the Switch! The impressive-looking indie-developed Soulslike Another Crab's Treasure is surfacing on April 25, and then the long-awaited third installment in Nintendo's Endless Ocean franchise is making its own splash one week later on May 2. We're taking their settings in the sea and running with them for an issue we'll be calling Just Add Water!In order to get on the first mailing list for this issue, you need to be signed up as a patron here before Monday, April 22, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Some remakes are simply visual enhancements that leave the original gameplay intact. Others dare to tweak old design elements. And a brave few totally overhaul and replace the source material's creative vision! We'll break down all the differences and try to correctly categorize a variety of Switch-bound remakes in NF #69: Three Takes on Remakes.In order to get on the first mailing list for this issue, you needed to be signed up as a patron here before Monday, December 18, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern time.
