The first issue of Nintendo Force costs US$18, is it bi-monthly?

American Nintendo fans are continuing their passion for game magazines. People are freaking out about the price naturally.

Is there anything that justifies the price? Well I hear there aren't any ads. Also, I've been googling around to see if there's any chance the magazine is bi-monthly. Just think, if it came out every 2 months with 2 months worth of quality content then it would be like spending the exact same amount on two single-month issues(of course there'd be less filler and everything too.)

That's assuming of course that a regular game magazine in the U.S. costs US$9 a month, which is something I don't actually know.

Issue #1 is "January/February" so it may or may not be every two months, but it would be better value if it was.
