Issue #22 Revealed!
🕑 Added 2016-05-16 18:28:55 +0000 UTC Since the day that Super Mario Bros.’ countdown clock started ticking its seconds away, players have had to fight against not only the enemies and obstacles placed before them in video games, but also against time itself. In the decades since, manipulating time, traveling through time and racing against the clock have all become more refined and complex ideas leveraged by great game designs – and perhaps no fight against time will be so twisted as the one set to be presented in the upcoming Zero Time Dilemma, which claims the coveted cover spot for our all-new Issue #22!We’ll dive further into the history of time-focused games, bring you an exclusive interview with Kotaro Uchikoshi (the creator of Zero Time Dilemma and its predecessors, 999 and Virtue’s Last Reward) and also present, at last, a blowout on the next Legend of Zelda adventure – which may even have some time-warping aspects in it, too!
All of this will be accompanied as always by a double-sided wall poster that will ship alongside print copies of the issue. On one side, you’ll get the incredible official art for Zero Time Dilemma, mirroring the cover itself but in much larger form for hanging on your wall. But if you prefer a more lighthearted option, the reverse side will have an all-new illustration from Thor Thorvaldson, celebrating Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games! (With a few extra Nintendo and Sega franchise mascots tossed into their usual sporting mix just for fun.) Visit the main page at Patreon.com/NintendoForce to take a look at both poster sides.
It’s heading your way at the end of June, but only for patrons signed up before the cut-off date of June 25! (Which is all of you, if you're getting this alert. Just letting you know in case you want to tell some new friends to sign up before then!)

P.S. The extra print copies of Issue #21 just showed up at our home office today, which means that deliveries will be happening for most print subscribers within the next week or so. Keep an eye on your mailbox! Matthew's Mother 3 poster turned out great!

Cool, I just signed up. This looks like a great issue to start with!
Whoever the driving force was behind ZE cover story/poster/interviews, bravo! I subbed specifically for the ZE coverage and imagine I will probably stay subbed going forward :D Reading the Iwata issue now while I wait for this.
I got it yesterday. I guess it's on it's way!
Any other Canadian's still waiting for issue #21?

I've never heard of this series, should be an interesting read.
Looks really great, can't wait!
Just got my Mother 3 issue. Really excited for the next one!
Are you outside the US? International shipping takes FOREVER these days :(
I've only received the Zelda issue so far since I've pledged. Why is that?
I've never received ANY of the print copies but the money has been deducted from my account for each one I pledged for. I've asked about this before and still havent received an answer.
Never played any of these games. Maybe the review in this issue will change my mind
Have you finished checking your email yet? I sent you one a month ago that's still waiting for a response.

Oh snap. I can't overstate how solid this series is if you're a fan of well crafted plots. Both of the previous titles blew me away when their stories started coming together near the end, and the trip is very, very much worth it.
