I had that 9 anime thing rumbling in the back cause I kept over thinking what to put on it. And then forgetting to post it. So here's that 9 anime that is me.

The final issue of GAME FREAK zine from 2004, produced by the company that had started off life as an arcade game tips zine in the early 80s, to commemorate 15 years since the founding of the company. The previous issue had been released in 1999 following a 12-year gap as they focused on game dev.

The cover of GAME FREAK 25, subtitled the special magazine of video game freak.

It's a simple black and white zine on pale green paper, and has an illustration of a girl in a school uniform holding up a controller, and various Pokémon, including Pikachu falling in the air and holding onto a sword.

I would say one of my favorite discoveries while doing these scans is the portable device by Aquaplus called the P/ECE. It's really cute and had multiple games made for it. Even one for Multi from ToHeart. I'd love to get one some day.

This cover's a great illustration of just how big of a deal Sakura Wars is. Look at it: The series ~being remembered decades later~ is enough to relegate fresh Persona, Silent Hill, Ace Combat, Dynasty Warriors and more news to plain text in the top-right corner.

Thirty years ago today, Sakura Wars made its debut on the Sega Saturn. I have a lot to say about this, but honestly, I don't know how to really express it in a way that conveys just how much this series means to me, as a person, and as a fan.

Happy 30th anniversary, Sakura Wars! This series changed my life! My interest in exploring untranslated gems was a direct result of the amazing experience I had when I first played through these games. SW taught me how limited the western view of games & their history truly is.

That's sad to hear. When I finally got to experience Beep back in March, I was in awe the big wall of PC games wall at the further back. Lots of old eroge too, which was cool. I was REALLY hoping to get a PC-98 there, but they didn't seem to had one. But I did get some PC-FX stuff.
