Famitsu Issue 0111 (October 12, 1990)
By kitsunebi
I'd like to look at the review scores in this issue. In particular Mega Man 3, which got a pretty terrible total score of 23 (out of 40.)
That's the same score as this issue's North & South.
That's the same score as Magic John (released in the USA as Totally Rad)
That's one point WORSE than freaking Die Hard.
In fact, it's the lowest ranked game in the issue, except for a couple of Game Boy games (I mean, come on, they're Game Boy games, what do you expect?)
So how did Mega Man 3 come to be so hated by the editors of Famitsu? The common complaint seems to be "Wah!! It's hard!"
Pretty sure you'll find this game on most top 100 NES games of all time lists. IGN has it at #16. Are Westerners just gluttons for punishment, or are the editors at Famitsu just weak as when it comes to challenging games?

Play Online No.028 (October 2000)
By kitsunebi
Non-scanners may not realize that it's required that something be put in this space when submitting a file, even if you have nothing to say, which is why you'll see most people just copy/paste the file name here. But not me. I aim to give you more bang for your buck with information you wouldn't get with a mere copy/pasted file name. Valuable, top-secret insider info you won't get anywhere else. Like the fact that it's required that something be put in this space when submitting a file.
You're welcome.

Famitsu Issue 0110 (September 28, 1990)
By kitsunebi
The Super Famicom was still 2 months away when this issue was released, and the anticipation was REAL. (See the disclaimer (apology?) on the cover.)
That doesn't mean there aren't SFC previews, of course. An interesting feature of the previews is the "my software tastes like this!" box which imagines what food each game would be. For example, Sim City is a pizza, because cutting the pizza up into equal portions is like zoning your city, and sometimes it can be fun to cut up the pizza/city in a crazy way. For some reason, they chose not to assign a food to Actraiser and gave it a "no comment..." ?

Though I finished the first one, I never got around to playing Diablo II. One of countless games I bought back then and never made time for.

Game Japan Quarter Vol.2 (September 5, 2000)
By kitsunebi
This mag is a bit of a mystery. It was apparently a "special edition" series focused on video games published under the umbrella of a popular pachinko mag. It was printed on super thick high quality paper stock - almost like a coffee table art book. It's labeled Vol.2, so there surely must be at least one more issue, but I've never seen proof of its existence, and the only proof I have that THIS issue exists is that I owned it and scanned it. The only non-dead links found online mentioning this mag are the sites I myself posted it to.
Does this mag even really exist? Or is it just an elaborate figment of my imagination? Download and find out.

Famitsu Issue 0106 (August 3, 1990)
By kitsunebi
As seen on the cover, Necky the Fox is so horny for the upcoming release of the Super Famicom he's done something downright desperate. Let's hope no one was hurt.
Meanwhile, the editors of Famitsu are so horny for anything that moves that they used the flimsy excuse of having a chick pose like the underwater enemies in Super Darius just so they could print some pics of her in a swimsuit.
Somebody get these guys a Pulitzer.

Family Computer Magazine Issue 011 (May 2, 1986)
By kitsunebi
As always, Famimaga is printed Japanese-style and read from right to left, so you'd better switch to Japanese/manga mode if you want the facing pages displayed in the right order.
This issue has a Q&A with Shigeru Miyamoto about the just-released The Legend of Zelda.
That's him on the left. "Miyahon" is a joke, or at least what passes for one in Japanese. You see, his name is written 宮本 in kanji, and the second kanji (by itself) can be read as "hon," meaning "book." It's a real knee-slapper if you happen to be Japanese, I bet.
The other interviewee is "Ten Ten," the co-designer of Zelda, Takashi Tezuka, but I don't know his nickname is also a hilarious play on the kanji in his name or not, because I still haven't recovered from the wackiness overload of "Miyahon" to be able to try to figure it out.
Miyahon. Video gaming's gain was standup comedy's loss, I'm sure.
Still, the man is a legend. I'm sure there's a nugget or two of invaluable wisdom to be gleaned from the interview.
