It’s disappointing, but a sign of the times as Wireframe can now only be purchased online for home delivery – no longer will you be able to pop to your local newsagent and pick it up. It is still one of the best magazines around, and urge everyone to check it out – they even provide free PDFs of every issue for you to download and enjoy.
There is a pixel art theme this month, starting with a big preview of Mina the Hollower a new Zelda-vania indie title, plus articles on the evolution of PixelArt, the history of sprites, and Konami’s Ganbare Goemon series.
