cool

I admire the enthusiasm and i love the japanese looking design, but all does not bode well for the physical media industry. I used to collect Nintendo mags in the 90s, but do kids still do that nowadays?

This is just AWESOME news, can't wait to check a copy out..

I hope that it does well. It's not a great time for mags and papers.

I noticed that the guy who made Brawl in the Family is on board with this, too. Sounds like they've got a lot of dedicated fans making this happen, I hope it does well.

Is the mag available in stores, online? How do I purchase it?

Good start for Nintendo Force.

I believe in written media. It's a way to physically preserve and contain the core of what is going on right now for the future. Seriously, have you gone through your old Nintendo Power magazines? That there is history people.

Good luck to Corbie and everyone working on Nintendo Force.

Good luck Corbs~

If I can find it at a book store,I might start getting the magazine.

Looks great! Bring physical copies to NA (when possible) I'd buy them all.

I love the design and need this magazine. Now if there is only an easy way to get it.

That cover! So nice!

how much and is it available in stores?

Wait, are they doing a physical magazine? I would have thought it would have been better to do an eMagazine.

Glad to hear someone at Nintendo Life took the opportunity to keep Nintendo Power going albeit under a different name. I loved getting a new Nintendo Power each month as a kid.

Nice cover. Where can I buy a copy? Google and even their official website didn't seem to have any answers.

@shinpichu They're making it both digital and print.

@Pixel-Perfect As far as how to buy it, they'll announce it today.

It has my attention, though I haven't had any magazines in years. So I'm not sure if I will bother trying to get one.

I want to subscribe right now.

This is awesome news!!

So it hasn't gone on sale yet?

I was a little skeptical about this whole Nintendo Force after Nintendo Power's FINAL issue shipped out. But if it can re-capture all the same glory Nintendo Power did or come close enough to doing the same, then I might buy an issue. R.I.P. Nintendo Power: Get The Power, Nintendo Power! And hopefully, welcome, to something new.

So that's where Corbie went...might have to check that out someday...

Just bought the digital version. Beautiful layout. And comics too. Just like the old days. Well done.

Get it here: http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/497452

Very nice cover there. If I could somehow find it at a bookstore, I would gladly subscribe. I already miss getting Nintendo Power in the mail. I guess many people don't understand the charm of physical magazines.

I've already ordered my copy. Can't wait for it to arrive! :3

Hmm, 17,99 huh... that's a bit steep.

can you get a print subscription?

I just ordered my copy!!
(I used the coupon code "HPSD" and saved some money.)
Anyways, I am so excited.

Went ahead and bought the first issue, since the coupon made it a little more bearable and I'd like to show my support for the project. I doubt I'll be able to purchase any more issues unless I can get a subscription for $20-30 a year.

ordered mine

I'm just getting a site error clicking forward to see where to buy off that HP magcloud site so I think they're having problems.

I really wish the digital copy was sold elsewhere. I guess I had an account YEARS ago on that site. I have no idea what my security question's answer is now. Won't let me make a new account or reset my password. Lame.

@Pixel-Perfect I'm debating the price myself but I think I've been swayed enough to buy print + digital.
These are the things I've considered aside from the content - might help people decide one way or the other
1) the synopsis says there's no ads between the covers - 78 pages of pure content is virtually a book.
2) There's not a lot of revenue to be gained from advertisements due to the first point
3) The mag is for the Jan/Feb period, so it may only be six issues a year (at this stage) so the cost averages US$9.00/month for print+digital, US$2.50 for digital only.
5) It's the first issue! - an instant buy for OCD collectors of such things!

Points 1 to 4 are the financial considerations which to me suggest value-for-money in either form - point 5 ignores the reasoning of 1 to 4 = LOL!

For any Aussies contemplating buying the print issue, although it's a print-on-demand service, for some reason, the printing is onlly done in the U.S.
The cheapest shipping is US$10.50 (USPS), no tracking, estimated 3-4 weeks delivery - so it's almost a typical Aussie newstand delay.
Any faster shipping starts at around US$30...
