Looks like a bunch of fans are starting up a spiritual successor to Nintendo Power called Nintendo Force. Some of the writers include Lucas M. Thomas from IGN, Jonathan Holmes from Destructoid, Kevin Cassidy from GoNintendo, Mark Kelly from NinDB, and... wait. Fry?! Check out the official site to see the rest of the staff. And congratulations, Fry! |

I was wondering what was keeping Fry so busy these days.
So is this gonna be free, or is it subscription based?

Maybe he'll let us write an article heeheehee! But seriously good luck! Just try not to mock Yoshi's Island DS too much.  |

Wow! congrats to Fry! since I am from Mexico, the only access had to the Nintendo Power were the official SMB3 guide which I bought on an import store (and its awesome) and these articles our local Official Nintendo magazine translates (which I found cheap, write your own articles Club Nintendo, don´t borrow the ones from your Big brother) I´m curios to see what route they take with this.

They've already said on Twitter that it will be available both physically and digitally. It'll be interesting to see how they handle the physical version. Will it be a limited print run, or will it be print-on-demand (which is a little more expensive)?
Also, Fry's contribution is a seven-page Mario comic.

I wonder if Fry was going reveal this as a surprise to us, because I sure spat what I was drinking when I saw this on GoNintendo. Pretty much the same response as everyone else: looking at the miis and noticing familiar names, stating "oh, cool. It's X", getting to the botton and spazing when I noticed Fry's Mii.
Well, I guess I wish ya luck with your endevors with these guys. I doubt it'll be easy, but I'm sure it'll be fun. I wonder if they'll autograph any physical copies >.>

My biggest congratulations for Fry for getting into this project. Hope NForce will definitely replicate NP's glory for next years to come. My biggest wishes of luck for this one! (-lv<-)b

The magazine has also announced that proceeds from its first issue will be donated to charity, so all the more reason to check it out! Kinda funny how everyone has gotten so supportive of Nintendo Power and Nintendo Force since the magazine was announced to be discontinued. I guess it was just around so long that a lot of us took it for granted, but losing it was like losing another bit of our childhood. (Same when GamePro went out of print.) So, now we've turned around to cling on to it. Also, we're starting to sound like a bunch of Fryguy64 fanboys in here. That reminds me, I need to draw up some fan art and write some erotic fan fiction. |

Well, it's only normal for a bunch of friends to wish for the best when a friend embarks on a big, new endeavor.
I hope it's not too difficult to send a physical copy over here to Chile...
