Japanese Magazine - Dengeki Nintendo

[Phillyman]

Looks like this magazine is still being published in Japan. Can we tell from the cover what issue number the February 2016 issue is?

I've got a few of these. Nothing to tell the issue number on that cover, but I can tell you that the current April 2016 issue is #259.

If I knew you were in the mood for adding new Japanese magazines, I would have said something sooner. I've got about 150 issues of Dengeki Playstation, plus some assorted others in lesser quantities.

I have some others as wellGameWalker, V-Jump, and some Dreamcast mags. Gotta hurry up and finish NextGen.

I know a guy who's into Dengeki Nintendo, though. I'll get in touch.

This is the newest Dengeki Playstation that I'm aware of. As you can see, they clearly label the issue number, unlike their Nintendo branch, which only displays it in super-fine print that has been cropped off of the image you posted. If you look at that same super-fine print on the Dengeki Playstation issue, it tells you that it is published on the 2nd and 3rd Thursdays of the month. It also says that this is the 734th issue, despite being clearly labeled as vol.609. I'm guessing here, but I assume this is because there are a large number of "special issues", which were generally half-sized strategy supplements bagged together with the regular issue.)

Issue 609, March 10, 2016:

The other magazines I intend to collect more of whenever possible are Family Computer Magazine and Login. The first actually predates Famitsu by a year and was its main competitor through its lifespan (Dunno when it ended - the newest issue I have is from 1997). Login is a defunct PC game magazine that was published by ASCII, who were the publishers of Famitsu at the time. Both are excellent magazines in my opinion.

There's also Dengeki super Famicom.
