23rd September 2020 - Canvey Island, United Kingdom After a barnstorming first Kickstarter in June, which saw nearly 1500 people buy a brand-new Nintendo magazine for the first time in years, the team behind Ninty Fresh have come back focused and energised with a second issue, live on Kickstarter now.
With no Nintendo magazines in the UK since 2014 - before NFM that is - the response to that first issue gave the team the confidence they needed to make more, and this one is focused on F-Zero!
It has a cracking cover by Phil Summers (who gained notoriety for his hand-drawn The Legend of Zelda manuals) and content covering all SIX titles (plus the anime) in the F-Zero series to celebrate thirty years of the franchise. This is all interwoven with a mixture of retro Nintendo coverage and fresh Nintendo Switch reviews (as well as reviews of new releases from older Nintendo systems!).
In addition to that spiffing racing coverage, there’s more focus on the recent LEGO products, that new Game and Watch, and of course, a series of Fresh retrospectives. You can expect extensive thoughts on Pokémon Yellow, GoldenEye 007 and F-Zero X – the latter of which has been written by ONM and encyclopaedia-writing legend Chris Scullion.
The team have taken note of all manner of feedback following the first issue, and the typeface and review layout have been tweaked. You can expect an even higher standard of magazine compared to the first, which received overwhelming acclaim from those who backed it.
The team has been expanded with an array of Nintendo experts, further driving forward the knowledge and experience behind the scenes. Ninty Fresh Issue 2 is being funded through Kickstarter, with many different levels of support from a PDF through to premium levels for those that want to grab a print copy. The magazine will ship worldwide and those interested will be able to support it via this link. A physical copy can be secured starting from just £6.

If you miss the days of ONM/NOM and other incredible Nintendo publications, here is your chance to support a new one.
Issue 2 of Ninty Fresh is already funded - securing its target within 45 minutes - but there is a multitude of stretch goals to enhance its offering. It is already guaranteed to be 100 pages in size, with room still to grow before the campaign ends.
About Ninty Fresh
Ninty Fresh is an unofficial print Nintendo magazine, founded in May 2020, packed with the latest content, analysis and Switch reviews, blended with some quality retro Nintendo coverage. Think of it as ONM/NOM crossed with Retro Gamer, although unaffiliated with any of those publications.
From the team behind Switch Player Magazine, each issue will be an eclectic mix of the present and past combined, with an overarching theme for each issue. Back issues for issue 1 are available from www.nintyfresh.net.
