Famitsu Issue 1367 (February 26, 2015)

By kitsunebi

So it seems the editors of Famitsu thought that people would like to see Persona 5 on the cover. I mean, sure - on a NORMAL day, that might be the case. But how they decided to go with Persona 5 when they had this in the same issue, will forever be a mystery:

This is Tsuri Bit. Which means "fishing bit." Note the fishing rods? Wikipedia tells me that this jpop idol group formed out of a desire to sing, dance...and fish.
Their concept:
You can't even make this stuff up.
Based on views, this seems to be their biggest hit, from around the time this magazine came out (the song's title is "I'm going to dance, fish" presumably meaning "I'm going to dance and fish," or maybe "I'm going to dance, then fish" and not someone addressing a fish and telling it that they're going to dance. Though I suppose it could be that...)

Famitsu Issue 1365 (February 12, 2015)

By kitsunebi

I had a certain song playing through my head while flipping through this mag, looking for my random "about this file" comment. The version on Youtube is from an older version of the 5th grade elementary school English textbooks, and has been updated for the newer ones with new music and lyrics (same refrain and melody, though), but the newer version isn't on Youtube, so far as I know. But it's ironic? fitting? that the song (Yokoso! Welcome to Japan) was stuck in my head when I came across a page featuring this toy:

A twin-barrel battleship gun emplacement...that couldn't be more Japanese if it tried. I think foreigners who have never been to Japan watch some anime or some wacky Japanese commercials or whatever and think that Japan must be some zany place fully of quirky people doing quirky things like they saw once on a game show or in a video of an idol concert in Akihabara or something. But it's actually a really quiet, ordinary place.
Except for the cuteness. Everywhere you look, CUTE CUTE CUTE. The kawaii aesthetic is everywhere. Please observe exhibit A, a collection of roadside construction barriers.

So why not make cute anthropomorphic guns? If you absolutely positively HAD to be shot out of the sky, wouldn't you prefer it be by something adorable?

Games for Windows Issue 17 (April 2008)

By kitsunebi

This is the final issue of Games for Windows. It could also be considered the final issue of Computer Gaming World, since that's what it was before they (unwisely) changed the name. And I'd like to say it's the final issue needed to complete our collection of this title, but unfortunately we're still missing issue 5. Phillyman owns it. It's in a box he has in storage. Pester him if you want to see it scanned. Don't worry, there's nothing he likes more than a good pestering.
I for one am glad to be done editing issues of this title. I scanned 15 issues out of GfW's 17 issue run, and every single one of them had an obscene amount of elements spread across both pages, forcing me to edit them together as a single image to ensure perfect joins in two-page view before splitting them back apart for the CBR. This issue had 64 pages that had to be joined. And it's only a 100 page mag! I shake my fist at you, GfW art director, whoever you were...

Games for Windows Issue 16 (March 2008)

2007 Games of the Year issue. One of which is Sam & Max: Season One. Sam & Max is no Monkey Island, but the original LucasArts adventure still holds a place in my heart. I still have a cap with a flaming Max head on it. And when my mom got two new kittens this past summer, I tried to get her to name them Sam and Max. She didn't go for it, though. 🥲

Famitsu Issue 1363 (January 29, 2015)

By kitsunebi

Flipping through this issue, I noticed a baseball game and wondered if...yep, there he is. 3 years before heading to America and entering the MLB, look who it is - the currently-highest-paid (best?) player in the game, Mr. Shohei Ohtani:

I realize most of you are nerds who stay inside all day, hating sports and sports games alike. I happen to be a nerd who stays inside all day hating sports, but has been known to enjoy a sports game or two (back when I played games, that is.) This guy goes beyond sports star, though. He's a national hero here in Japan, and by far the biggest celebrity. Basically, he's the Japanese Taylor Swift. They let the kids here watch the final game of the World Series (which Ohtani's Dodgers won) in school like it was the moon landing or something.
In this game, he's still playing for the Nippon Ham Fighters. Did I ever mention that Japanese sports teams have stupid names? Actually, the team name is "Fighters," but rather than name teams after the city they're in, they name them after whatever giant corporation owns the team. It's super-lame. So rather than the Sapporo Fighters, allowing people in Sapporo/Hokkaido to wear their hometown team's merch with pride, they have to basically be wearing an advertisement for Nippon Ham, a giant meat/food corporation. Plus, when you say it out loud, it sounds like they fight ham.

LOGiN 361 (April 2006)

By kitsunebi

You know those coffee table art books? The ones with the super-thick, high-quality paper? Imagine a gaming magazine printed like that. And lo, here it is. This mag is higher quality than any gaming mag ever printed in the Western world, and that's a fact. Every single page was higher quality than the covers of Western mags. Granted, it cost 1100 yen (at the time, around $11-12), but damn, this is one fine-looking mag. Or it was, before I yanked all of its pages out, ran it through my scanner, and tossed it into the recycling. 😱
Scanners can't be seduced by pretty things. All will fall before the heat gun.

Oh yeah, and you can get the demo disc HERE if you want.

Famitsu Issue 1362 (January 22, 2015)

By kitsunebi

This magazine is 212 pages, which is fairly reasonable for Famitsu. They're usually a bit longer, though issues exceeding 300 pages aren't common. Considering they put this thing out on a weekly basis, it's still a remarkable amount of pages per month, sometimes entering quadruple digits.
But this issue also has an ad for a Monster Hunter strategy guide, which weighs in at 1,568 pages. That's more pages than an entire year's worth of any Western game mag published contemporaneously with this issue. That's pretty impressive, I'll give you that.
I'll also give you a slap on the face if you ever ask me to scan it. 🙂
