    As I know no one will be able to answer this, when did Famicom Tsuushin turn into Famitsu Weekly? Nothing vague like sometime in the late 80s... I want year, month and / or issue. :nod:

    See if anyone can answer it before Famitsu press office do...

    And you were beaten by the Famitsu press office who sent me an answer within 45 minutes of me asking (but I missed the Email...) and if anyone want to know it was 22nd December 1995, issue 368 and was changed to reflect mainly the dominance of the Playstation...

    As old magazines of video and computer games are hard to find, does anyone have any pre 1994 issues of Famicom Tsuushin?

    Don't forget that Famicom Tsushin's biweekly schedule changed into a weekly one starting with the July 26, 1991 issue (released on July 12, actually). The word "Weekly" was written above the title from that issue.

    If you like sifting, I'm sure they'll show up on teh YJ. I bought some Gamest from the 80's not long ago. They were kinda pricey though.

    There are lots of old Magazines on YHJ by the way. They even have a category for it, just the shipping will be pricey when you buy lots of them. :/

    No. I just bought some singles. I'm not shelling out $2k for old magazines. I'm really only interested in the data contained in them. Apparently there's a library w/ just about every major publication known to man. I just have to go there and check everything out.
