Waiting to see their MH3U score so I can judge all the rest of their content based on that.

 

[Tagg9]

Wow, first time I've seen an "in progress" review from a magazine. Good for them for waiting.

They have 1 page each for the Wii U and 3DS version, both very positive.

 

[CorySchmitz]

Still love that logo.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

I always want to buy magazines like this but the price is just to high for me to pay for a magazine. Unfortunately I'm sure that's what the have to charge for make a worthwhile profit off of it.

Pandora's Tower (Wii) - 6.0

 

[rouken]

that luigi cover is outstanding! and they even do book reviews.

 

[Einbroch]

Why is it $20?

 

[RumblingRosco]

Why is it $20?

No ads I believe.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Why is it $20?

~80 pages, no ads, print by order afaik.

 

[TDLink]

Why is it $20?

I think the subscription cost is only $10 more so they are probably trying to push that. It's also print by order.

 

[BY2K]

A Wind Waker HD preview? We know jack shit about it.

Is it new stuff?

 

[Glass Rebel]

I totally missed the feature by Emily about how to become an eShop developer

even Ber(t)il is mentioned

A Wind Waker HD preview? We know jack sit about it.

Is it new stuff?

I'll check in a sec

edit: not really, nothing that we didn't get from Nintendo Direct.

 

[oti]

Just bought it for the first time. Just 4€? Why not. Scanned through the pages, everything's well designed. No ads! Which is so bewildering to me (I work for a print gaming magazine myself). I wish you all the best NF.

 

[NFreak]

A yearly six issue print subscription is 30 bucks for those that don't know. Single issues are expensive because they are print on demand with no ads.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Emily's article/feature about eShop development is pretty good.

I think we knew that already but it seems to have a very friendly approval process, especially compared to Microsoft.

 

[BluePigGanon]

A Wind Waker HD preview? We know jack shit about it.

Is it new stuff?

Nope, nothing new.

Nice mag though!

 

[Mockingbird]

$20? Bring me the ads.

 

[mackattk]

Just subbed for a digital subscription. This may be a stupid question, but how do I gain access to this month's magazine? I looked at magcloud, and only see my first months magazine there.

Check your e-mail, you should have gotten a mail by Lucas Thomas.

Yeah, nothing. I sent them an email about it, hopefully will hear back soon. Thanks!

No profit. Money goes to charity.

 

[axisofweevils]

Only just had a quick skim-through of this issue so far, but very impressed with the amount of content. I found the "How to become an eShop developer" article really informative. I'm pleased a magazine like this still exists in the digital age.

 

[PixyJunket]

I was dumb enough to opt for print version, so a waiting I will do.

Pandora's Tower (Wii) - 6.0

This game is so misunderstood, I'm going to love it so much.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity (3DS) - 7.0

I cancelled my preorder yesterday. I've heard it's even easier than previous game, how is such a thing possible? I thought it would give me SOME kind of Mystery Dungeon fix, but I decided to not punish myself with it, it would just make me sad that there's no Torneko or Shiren game on the horizon (and if there was, it wouldn't come out here).

Maybe if word that SpotPass dungeons or DLC dungeons are real Mystery Dungeon fare gets out, I'll buy it on sale sometime.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

Yeah, nothing. I sent them an email about it, hopefully will hear back soon. Thanks!

If you just now subscribed, then you will not get an issue until issue #3 is out. Sorry.

Anywayz: 1/4 of the way through and loving it! Was having a problem viewing the pdf on my iPad because they sent a high quality version that made alot of text dissapear but they sent me a low quality version after emailing them so I'm finally reading it.

Reading the digital versions and keeping all physical versions sealed.

Loved the eShop article. Really love the whole magazine. I read through the first issue so fast that I was shocked. Reading through issue 2 just as fast.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

Looking forward to issue 2 hopefully it shows up in my mailbox soon.

 

[Deleted member 284]

Oh then I'll probably purchase issue 1 & 2 since I just subbed.

 

[Wiz]

Just got my copy in the mail yesterday. Very pretty magazine to say the least lol, going through it atm.
