In September we reported on the first issue of NES-Bit magazine; originally intended as a one-off, it performed well enough for editor Lorfarius to start work on issue two.
Available as a PDF at first before getting a print release, the next issue covers a range of topics, with a special feature on the much-loved Castlevania series as well as articles on religion in NES games, a look at Japanese imports and more.
It should be noted the text in the sidebar on the cover's left is placeholder only, before you get excited about a Zelda IV article that'll never happen.
You can stay up to date with it over at the NES-Bit forum.

I like the idea. The cover makes you think you have traveled back in time
8-bit gaming is where it's at!!!!
i wonder how many people get the caption joke, and if anyona is actualy old enough to remember where it originated from.
As efficient as the internet is for getting information to people, there is still a place in my heart for print gaming mags. I have really fond memories of my childhood, going to the grocery store with my mom, and browsing the Gamepro's, EGMs and (my personal favorite) Gamefans in the magazine isle. There's a certain charm that the internet just doesn't have. I say good for these retro mags for trying to keep those good times from being forgotten entirely.
@my_point_is i got the caption all right. haha, very funny too!
i'll definitely have a look at this, especially as the N.E.S is my all-time fav console.
Nice, might have to order a physical copy of the 2nd issue since I missed out on the first copy. Good reminder to download the first one.
@my_point_is: #4 Nesbit? Is that the caption joke? As in, a/the name?
@Rapadash6: #5 Yes, it is nice gamers, & co.s are trying to keep those times alive.
Can I download to my ipad?
The download will be available as a PDF, so yes will work with an iPad
