Nintendo Force, the new magazine inspired by Nintendo Power and created by some fine folk from the Web

[Nz17]

Nintendo Force is a new magazine which aims to be the spiritual successor to Nintendo Power. Its first issue is launching in January 2013. All profits from the sales of the first issue will be contributed to a (currently unnamed) charity. The format of the magazine will be basically the same as the old Nintendo Power. The January 2013 issue will include a review of Fluidity: Spin Cycle from the 3DS eShop, and custom game sculptures made by one of the female magazine contributors will be featured as art for the articles.

So far the prices of individual issues and subscriptions are unannounced. Right now the mag is taking submissions for art envelope entries for its fan mail section. The size of the art should follow this template [ http://www.nintendoforcemagazine.com...peTemplate.png ]. Entries need to be received by January 1st for consideration for their inclusion in issue #1! E-mail your "envelope" fan art to [ envelopeart@nintendoforcemagazine.com ]. General fan mail should be sent to [ inbox@nintendoforcemagazine.com ].

I have high hopes for this magazine. It has some fairly well-known writers and artists such as Lucas Thomas from IGN and Matthew Taranto from "Brawl in the Family" and other places like Nintendo World Report, Nintendo Life, The Mega Man Network, Nintendojo, GoNintendo, and NinDB. Here's hoping!

Is there some particular reason for pointing out the sex of the contributor doing the sculptures?

No, not really - do you mind that I did? When I wrote the post, it was based on what they had written on their preliminary site, Facebook, and Twitter. All that the Facebook post stated about the sculptures really is that they are from Fluidity and made by a woman named Camille and so I was thinking about that when I wrote it up but couldn't remember her name. "Camille Young" is her full name, but I wouldn't know she is a sculpture artist without the Nintendo Force site making a note of it.

why would it matter either way? or are you one of those feminist type that get offended by every little thing that you can make up to make it sound sexist?

It's just odd and out of place. Don't get your knickers in a twist, Jennifer.

Some people just argue for the sake of arguing. Don't take it personally.

This has former Nintendo Power staff on board? Looking at the site, I only see people who had no connection to the magazine.

Nintendo Defense Force Magazine?

In all seriousness, Nintendo Force Magazine sounds extremely generic.

Yeah, sorry about that. This was something I believe I misunderstood from one of the contributing artists. I thought there were supposed to be writers from NP working on NF, but if so they are unannounced. Thus I might be remembering how said artist stated that it was an honor to be working with or have worked with some former NP staff. I guess we'll know for sure when the first issue of Nintendo Force arrives.
