Limited-Time Offer, Player's Poll, Magzter Update & More (Patreon)

Happy December, Nintendo Force fans! Got a grab-bag update for you today, so let's tackle one topic at a time.

LIMITED-TIME OFFER: $18 FOR ALL 2018 ISSUES IN PRINT

http://www.nintendoforcemagazine.com/product/the-18-2018-bundle/ 

We printed too many extra copies of our issues this year! I've got too many boxes of extras sitting around the office here (and elsewhere in the home, to my wife's dismay), so for a limited time we're offering the lowest price we've ever offered before for a Full-Year Bundle: You can get print copies of every 2018 NF issue for just $18! But only from now until December 18th! After that, the price will go back up to normal year-end levels.

Most of you patrons here already have copies of all these issues in your possession, but I still wanted to highlight the offer here to help with your holiday shopping! This would be a great bundle of issues to wrap up and gift to your Nintendo-fan friends. And all the extras the issues originally included are here too, like the Limited Run Games trading card that's bundled with Issue #33 and the super-sized, double-big wall posters bundled with Issues #34 and #36. 

I know you all have some friends who are hyped for Smash and would love that giant Smash poster on their wall. :) 

See it in the NF Store right here: http://www.nintendoforcemagazine.com/product/the-18-2018-bundle/ 

CONTRIBUTE TO THE NEXT NF ISSUE!

We've just a couple weeks away from publishing NF Issue #37, and, as always, we need input from the fans to fuel our Inbox section! Please jump into the Comments of this post and answer the following Player's Poll questions:

1. Shovel Knight first launched back in 2014. Have you played it? If so, when and on what system? If not, why have you not played it yet?

2. With Shovel Knight finally nearing completion, what game do you think Yacht Club Games should take on next?

3. Finally, a few of the characters in Shovel Knight were made by fans. If you were to add another character to his world, who would you create?

(Bonus points if you come up with artwork for that last question and tweet it to us @NintendoForce.)

 

DON'T ANGER THE OX!

You could also see your name appear in print if you submit a question in the Comments below to be answered by The Ox. Ask anything! On any topic! And we'll see if it triggers his anger or not. :p

 

MAGZTER UPDATE

Finally, a bit of bad news: It looks like we might have to move on from Magzter. They're the company we've been working with to provide eReader/tablet versions of our digital issues, and everything's been smooth up until a few weeks ago when they decided to change their policies and not allow publishers to send out complimentary copies of our issues any more. What's more, they're trying to start charging publishers massive annual fees to stay in their storefront – too massive to be worth it. So we'll likely be phasing out our support of Magzter soon and looking for a new option. In the meanwhile, Digital and Combo subscribers will continue to receive the PDF versions of each new issue like normal, so digital NF issues aren't disappearing!

CONCLUSION

That's all for now! I'm going to put my head back down and keep digging away at the new Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove issue to get it ready for you all in just a couple more weeks! This one's shaping up really well, as we've got incredible support from Yacht Club Games, who've provided awesome artwork, a hilarious exclusive interview and more. Please look forward to reading it as you wake up out of your Super Smash Bros. Ultimate coma in a few weeks!
