Original Post

I recently scored every single issue of Famitsu Magazine for the year 1995 in a Yahoo Auctions Japan auction, and I hope to scan and post all pages that have anything Virtual Boy-related on them in this thread. Right now, I only plan to try to translate the things that interest me most, and I’ll be posting those results over time in the “English Translations for Famitsu Magazines” thread, located here:

I hope that these pages will be of interest to many others as well. And who knows, maybe someone else might start trying to translate interesting information in them and post the results on this site. 😉

Wow! This thread is brimfull of goodness! O__O

Could you please translate the comic strip from “Famitsu 352 p 169.jpg (2,671.29 KB)” first? It is so fascinating and disturbing at the same time.

Sure, I can do that.

I also plan to make extremely high resolution scans of all articles and images dealing with unreleased VB games and post those much higher resolution images in the translation thread. It might not be for a couple weeks though.

Great scans there Ben. Thanks for doing this, its always good to see some new stuff.

Ben, great score. I’m super jealous, but thanks for sharing.

It’s exciting to see so much new stuff.

Well, if you are only interested in collecting certain of the issues containing Virtual Boy coverage, this thread should definitely help in letting you know which specific issues to look for. I do plan to slowly go through all of them again and make sure that I didn’t miss any pages with Virtual Boy info on them. If I find any, I’ll add them later. Otherwise, today’s batch should be the remainder of the pages in all Famitsu Magazines for the year 1995 containing Virtual Boy stuff on them.

Here are the Virtual Boy pages for Famitsu 355
