Our friends over at Switch Player may be hard at work on issue 9 but they've taken the time to share with us the cover, which we're showing off exclusively on this very page.
Created by Stup-Jam, the art features Mario and company in a scene lifted from Super Mario Odyssey, a game you may have heard of. Apparently it's rather good.
In other news, the magazine is about to undergo a redesign for 2018 with the one and only Wil Overton assisting with the new look. Switch Player is also running a special bundle offer at the moment where you can get all 8 issues released so far for £23.99 (plus postage) instead of the £32 it would typically cost.
We're big fans of printed media here at Nintendo Life and Switch Player is the UK's only Nintendo-focused magazine, so it's well worth supporting. Let us know if you're already a reader by posting a comment below.

That cover is awesome! It's kind of a shame that magazines are just falling by the wayside.
That artwork is amazingly fantastic.
I miss gaming magazines.
I’ve been reading since issue 1. I wasn’t sure I’d get much from it with all the reading I do here on NL but it’s interesting to read from different contributors. Especially former official magazine staff.
Love the cover!
Awesome cover!
I dont know why but seeing that cover... I just want a good mario or smashbros anime lol.
@crackafreeze If you haven't looked into it, I'd strongly recommend Nintendo Force magazine. I backed them on Kickstarter and get a jam-packed issue every other month. It's worth every penny (and you can opt for either a PDF, a physical magazine, or both!). Here's a link: http://www.nintendoforcemagazine.com/
Damn that cover is just brilliant.
Based in the U.K? I've never heard of it but its something I would be interested in. I take it that its not available in shops, only subscription based? I may have to look into it.
Wow. & Spectacular!
I’ve never heard of them if I’m honest as I don’t look at a lot of magazines anymore, but damn that cover is hot. Might have to buy it and maybe even the older ones.
Mario’s left arm is posed weird...sorry
Sounds like a neat magazine, I don't even know if there is a Nintendo magazine in the USA?
Will Overton !!! Am I confused or is this the fella of ZZAP / Crash days ?
Anyway nice art.
@Robotron2084 Yup. I'm a digital subscriber - super convenient. I back both Switch Player and Nintendo Force, simply because they're producing Nintendo-focused magazines, and a good magazine is such a rarity these days. I miss Nintendo Power.
I like Nintendo Force better.
@crackafreeze you should try Nintendo Power’s spiritual successor magazine then, Nintendo Force. Written by some of the same people.
I get both that one and Switch Player and enjoy them, but Nintendo Force is without a doubt light years beyond any other Nintendo specific magazine (there is also Pure Nintendo, for example).

For everyone saying they miss the days of magazines, they are still out there, go and get them, they would love your support!
I would be a reader if I can find it!! Been looking!
People - get subscriptions sorted to both Switch Player and Nintendo Force. Nintendo magazines represented the glory years of gaming magazines, and these are the best chances of getting them back. Lots of love and care goes into each issue - and they’ll all look mighty fine on your shelves...
I just got Super Mario Odyssey, and it’s awesome. Speaking of, what am I doing here? I should be playing it!
@Danrenfroe2016 Nintendo Force is the only one I know of.
Nice cover.
