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!!!!
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
