I never noticed that before. GameFan was the weird 'fringe' magazine of the gaming publications back in the day. They would love to hype Japanese games and the Japanese gaming scene in general. They were big into pushing 'Japanese imports because the owner of the Magazine Dave Halverson also owned a mail-order Japanese gaming import store called DieHard Gamers Club, which later changed named to Game Cave. So Halverson would advertise the current Japanese imports in the magazine and post advertisements in the back pages to buy them. Then GameFan added an Anime section, just to advertise the anime being sold at DieHardGamersClub/ GameCave store.

It was part of their business. Though Dave Halverson was also pretty shady, as he would sometimes make multiple persona's in the magazine and use those fake names to give games "90"'s.

Also the weird neurotic nature of the editors. Like Nick Rox going off on the lack of Blue Shadows in Street Fighter Alpha for the Sega Saturn.

Then Dave abandoned ship with GameFan and created a different magazine called GamersRepublic, where he tried to make his magazine more 'multmedia' with a page dedicated to Hollywood, a few pages dedicated to music, a lot of anime and of course game/ Japanese game coverage.

Nick Rox and the GameFan "staff" in general would push the PSX and trash the Saturn. I think Street Fighter Zero was the most notorious example. I really believed them, and i couldn't wait till January anyway, so i purchased the PSX version of SFZ in December. And boy what a crappy port that was. Capcom didn't even take the time to give the game its proper intro. Instead SFZ on PSX featured a fucking mpeg clip.

In retrospective i believe too, all the PSX hype was meant to sell more games from their own gamefan store.

That's why games magazines aren't sold anymore. And as we've seen over the last 5-6 years or so their online options are even worse.

Nick Rock was complaining about the super shadows for the characters when they super moves. In the PS1 and arcade game, they were blue, in the Saturn game they were slightly tinted blue. That's what he was bitching about.

I'm not really a big SFA fan, so I couldn't tell you. But it was generally the case that the Saturn ports would have more animation overall.

[Anonymous No.5380052]

>>5379965
The PSX version of every game cut tons of animations. The SFZ3 version even has a workaround: if both players select the same character, you can see all the animation frames - meaning they are in the game, they're just cut because of memory constraints.

If you can, just grab an ISO of SFZ3 and choose Karin vs Karin in Training Mode. The difference is like day and night. Some characters even "regain" some intros and winning poses because of this trick, like Karin's butler or Cody running from Edi.E.

IIRC, they used the same trick in the VS games on the PSX. If you choose the same characters as the opponent, but in reverse order, you can actually swap them out like in the arcade version, instead of just calling in an assist.

[Anonymous No.5380069]

>>5379982
>>5380052
Well, actually the Saturn versions of games also cut some frames off, except for the games that used the extra 4 MB of RAM like Alpha 3 or Vampire Savior.
But still, games that didn't use any extra RAM, like Alpha 2, have more frames than the PS1 version. I know about Alpha 2, but I'm not sure about Alpha 1. It'd be hilarious if the GameFan guys wrote off the Saturn version for the shadow color while not noticing Saturn has more frames.
Also, the full animation in mirror matches thing was also used in some Saturn games, like in Night Warriors/Vampire Hunter.

Yes, it's real. It is from this issue of Die Hard GameFan. Basically, it was "filler text" used as a place holder while the layout was being prepared. Someone didn't double check to see if it was the final review text. The Editor in Chief tried to hand wave it away and tell people that it was a rouge employee who tried to sabotage their magazine. But in reality it was just nonsense place holder text.

Yeah, but when you add the price of paying monthly employees and printing press costs and a cut of the profit from business's selling the magazine.. The $5 could be justified. The materials for the magazine is only a small part of the cost. Plus magazines were much more reliant on subscriptions than the magazine rack price, as they get the annual money up front but could discount the price of each magazine even further. Most subscriptions were like 20bucks a year and would slash the magazine rack price in half.

GameFan's artist is a man named Terry Wolfinger who did a few pieces for Heavy Metal Magazine. Some of his early covers were a little rough, but he did get better over time. He also loved to put the GameFan mascot in almost every cover he did. The character is called Mounitar and had a CRT for a head.

All of them. Whichever had the information and screenshots I crave. Magazines like Gamefan, EGM, VideoGames & Computer Entertainment, PC Gamer, Famicom Tsushin, Gamest, Newtype Gaming, Super Gaming, Silicon Magazine, Gamers Republic, Nintendo Power, Sega Visions, TurboForce, TurboPlay, Mega Play, Super Nintendo Buyer's Guide, EGM2, Saturn Fan, Dengeki Playstation, PSM, V-Jump, etc. all fed my imagination to cope with not being able to afford the games.

Friends even pulled together to make a gaming magazine called GameGo which sadly only one issue made it to publication and the 2nd is PDF only. Stores said it was "too hardcore for its own good" but it did cater to my tastes.

These days I still continue to pick up GameCenter magazine from Walmart and imagine playing all the cool new games I cannot afford.

I wouldn't trade the internet for anything, but man those magazines were MAXIMUM comfy.

Silicon Magazine. Now there's an obscure one. I remember picking those up at Game eXchange and Funco Land.

Mostly GamePro. Though later on Gamer's Republic caught my eye. I would probably know a lot less about video games if I didn't have the magazines, so even if I didn't even have the console I'd go ahead and read about games I haven't played. Some of those games I'd play many years later, especially those that were in the Role-Players section.

Maybe not wasting money on magazines would have helped

They had great coverage with good writing with servicable screenshots/game art for a free magazine. I still kept a few and wished I had visted my local stores more to pick up more of the magazines. Was always a great find, as they were a draw to all the independant video game stores.

When one is poor, a $12 yearlong subscription is way more palpable to get than the $60-$80 for a game. I do not see the magazines as a waste, as they did introduce me to a lot of favorites I still play to this day. I still enjoy reading about the games and imagining playing games and systems I cannot afford to this day, as I mentioned with the new games I cannot afford with the Walmart CameCenter magazines.
