Issue #1 – January/February 2013

It's cover-to-cover content in the debut issue of Nintendo Force, with no ads taking space away from the previews, reviews and features packed inside. The massive 26-page Year in Preview gives you a look ahead at all the biggest games of 2013, with special emphasis on four – Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney, Pikmin 3 and Rayman Legends. We've got North America's first review of Fire Emblem: Awakening and an exclusive reveal of just what's so "Deluxe" about Wii U's Mutant Mudds Deluxe – this is the only place to see first screenshots of Max's all-new enemies and the levels they inhabit. Proper homage is paid to the past, too, with envelope art, clay models, a six-page Retro section and three different comics – including one by Brawl in the Family's Matthew Taranto and Chapter 1 of our serialized story, "Super Mario Bros.: Neo Bowser City." All of that and much, much more await you here in our very first issue – and proceeds from sales go to charity. So come on and join the Force!

Issue #7: New Beginnings – January/February 2014

Our final issue of the Year 1 subscription cycle, New Beginnings is also the first new issue published in 2014 – and its theme embraces the idea of starting over. Getting a blank slate. Opening a new chapter. Our central feature examines game developers who did just that, stepping away from the jobs that made them famous in order to pursue a new dream by founding smaller, independent studios. Yacht Club Games – formed by former employees of WayForward Technologies – is our inspiration, and also the makers of the game on the cover, Shovel Knight. We reveal exclusive new information on it inside, preview 2014′s biggest upcoming games on 3DS and Wii U and review the first hits of the year, including Bravely Default and Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy. So grab a copy, won’t you?
