  1. I need help :)

    I found some cover scans of unknown obscure PlayStation UK PlayStation magazines, but its hard do find additional informations about them.

    First magazine name is PlayStation Magic

    Look like kids magazine judging by cover.

    Seconda magazine has strange name NU PlayStation ???

    Tagline is The Next Generation PlayStation Magazine.

    This is first time that I hear for this magazines, and Meppy from Out Of Print Archive is also confused with existence of this magazines.

    Can someone identify publishers?

    Both of them have tag New on right side, so maybe only first issue was published?

  2. According to Gamespot Capcom officialy announced game in April 1999 and Japan release date was planned for Winter 1999. Name of the game was Onimusha: Demon Warrior. I manage to find one page prescreen in EDGE. I havent played PS2 Onimusha but according to article, plot is same as in released version. Engine is Resident Evil 2 engine and its stated that in Japanese launch preview only one level was available. Accordning to EDGE release date for game was Christmas (Japan). According to wikipedia: The PS1 version of Onimusha was about 50% complete before it was cancelled.


    Here is link to "rumor"about Onimusha switching to PS2.


    At Tokyo Game Show 1999. Capcom offical announcedthat Onimusha became PlayStation 2 videogame. Tentative release date was summer 2000. Here are more info from IGN.


    Here is something important: Capcom on that TGS released 3 videos of PSX version: Intro CG, Battle montage and Puzzles and battles. I cant find this videos only. According to GIA: Of particular interest is the introduction movie, highlighting some of the most realistic human figures ever seen in computer-generated FMV.


    I managed to find E3 2000. Onimusha and Dino Crisis 2 video.




    Here is information about game from GIA. They is some wrong info that Onimusha started as N64 game which is false. There is also info about first videos of Onimusha on Japanese TV from February 2000.


    Users from HG101 and Assembler Games forum have uploaded more scans from Japanese and French magazines with information about game and here are links:


    Denkegi PlayStation June 1999







    Do you have more informations, scans or videos about game?

  3. That's an awesome read, mpx! It's one of those things that I never really considered before: countries like Croatia having their own game magazine market. I mean, thinking about it now, it's obvious that they would have to have some kind of entertainment publications. Knowing more about them really helps one think about just how global a phenomenon gaming is. Thanks for all your hard work. :)

    I'm curious if you have the issue of PC Play pictured with "Tomb Raider 2" on the cover, and if so what the publication date is. I collect Tomb Raider magazines, so I always want to know when there is one that I don't have. :)
