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.

I totally want to subscribe to a magazine about Nintendo after how Nintendo dropped their own free ad mag like a pot of boiling...well, nothing good.

It'll be interesting to see what happens, but if Nintendo wouldn't even give their own people access, I think this would do better branching out to other current systems like any other effort. And I've also realized that Nintendo is far from where they were during the "glory days" of NP that we all fondly remember.
