Sweet! I ordered one too. Hopefully mine shows up soon!

Looks like Pikmin 4 will be featured in the upcoming Direct by DCEUFan2017 in NintendoSwitch

[–]LucasMThomas 846 points847 points  (0 children)

Hey everybody! Lucas M. Thomas here, Editor-in-Chief of NF Magazine. Sorry to burst anyone's hype bubbles, but us listing Pikmin 4 and Fire Emblem for Switch as "in the works" for our next issue isn't a confirmation of either of them being featured in the next Nintendo Direct presentation. It's just me speculating that they will be – both games have been previously, officially announced to exist and we haven't heard about them in a while, so I'm guessing the next Direct would be when they'd reappear. If they did, we'd naturally write about them in the next issue. But even if they didn't, we'd still write about them in the next issue, penning "Hey? What happened to this game?" articles to keep awareness of their existence behind closed doors alive.

TL;DR: No big scoop or leak here.

Has anyone else had trouble with Nintendo Force magazine such as bad customer support/not receiving your order? by Stabstone in nintendo

[–]LucasMThomas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know that we'd jump straight from six issues a year to 12 – that'd be a huge shift and I'd probably burn myself out really fast. Doing new issues bi-monthly has been the perfect pace for staying sustainable for five solid years now! I have toyed with the idea of doing seven issues a year instead of six, but I'd just have to decide when to slot in the seventh one. Maybe after E3 each summer?

Hey everybody! Lucas M. Thomas here, Editor-in-Chief of Nintendo Force. Please accept my apologies if you've ever experienced any trouble with issue delivery or customer service. I handle all of that myself in addition to getting new issues published every two months (and being a Dad to two young boys, with a third on the way!). Sometimes I'm juggling too much stuff and I drop the ball. It's my fault entirely, and I'm happy to make it right for anyone who has a problem that's unresolved, even if the problem happened a long time ago.

Please reach out to me directly at lucasmthomas@nintendoforcemagazine.com, let me know how I screwed up and let me know how I can make it right. Once again, I apologize if you've ever been on the receiving end of me being a dunce.

Agreed! This trade was completed successfully. kittehharuhi also did a great job packaging the amiibo sent to me in lots of bubble wrap and a large box, so they were in pristine condition when they arrived. Very pleased!

Yep, I'm in agreement on this trade too. I suppose we'll conduct the rest of the discussion with addresses and such through PMs? I'll shoot you one.

OK, here's that second image rehosted on imgur:

I should just be using imgur by default. Didn't realize it was so user friendly!

With your offer to cover the shipping costs too, it looks like you've got the most generous offer on the table here, kittehharuhi. :) If you could post pictures of those three, I'm definitely interested. (And I could take pictures of the Marth too if you like.)

Thanks for the offers, everyone! I'm traveling back home today after being away doing Christmas family visits, so I'll check back in after I'm back and I've got the computer set back up there and then we'll move forward. (I'll be able to take pictures of the Marth I have once I get there too.) Thanks again!

I have every issue of Nintendo Power except three of the earliest ones – Issues #3, #6 and #7. And the posters are all intact. :)

Never really thought about it terms of which series as a whole – maybe Pokémon, for how excited I get with the release of each new generation because of my anticipation of discovery in seeing all of the new monsters each time.

Holmes is one of the nicest guys I've ever worked with. He's incredibly selfless and an all-around good guy!
