I was looking for these but until I found snes central had no idea what issue it appeared in. If I wasn't on my iPad i would grab these images and upload them to photobucket myself to prserve them. Maybe tomorrow.

Man, what a blast to the past. I remember reading part of this in the Mexican version of Nintendo Power (Club Nintendo). They even had some of the same illustrations. (the one with the two CDs as corners, for example). And well, that one saying that Cinematic Gaming was a myth, and that it's more about the storage really pre-debunked FMV gaming. We might have had awesome games if this had come to fruition.
Hehe, I've got that same Club Nintendo right here, I'm gonna scan it in a few minutes and upload it as well! BTW, thanks for sharing lvsteven! I'm gonna take a look at those right now.
And here they are, click the pictures to enlarge. Front cover: Page 1/3 of SNES CD: Page 2/3 of SNES CD: Page 3/3 of SNES CD:
Yes! This one exactly! I never would have guessed the South American version would be absolutely identical to the Mexican Version. Fuck! Looking at the cover of it gave me a HUUUUGE flashback of being 10 years old and getting this magazine from the cashier lane of the supermarket five or six blocks from my house, and reading it in my room several times. ... 20 years ago!
Hehe, yup, iirc it is exactly the same as the Mexican version. If my memory serves me right, from the beginning it was printed in Chile and Argentina as well as Mexico and distributed all over South America, but then after 2001 all the issues that arrived here were printed in Mexico. Does it still exist? I stopped buying it around 2004-2005 as it was getting crappier in content, and also it was getting hard to get it around here in Uruguay. I'll be scanning more (and complete) issues of Club Nintendo and uploading them to my site and here in the following weeks if possible, now that I finally got a new scanner.
I don't know whether it still exists. I've seen many issues in supermarkets, about wii games and whatnot, so if it disappeared, it was probably last year. A friend of mine wrote for IGN Mexico for a while, and they disappeared, and he went to work for Atomix in 2008 or 9 (Atomix was the direct competition of Club Nintendo during the Dreamcast days. They did have several jabs at C.N. for being so damn biased.) Hell, I'm not even sure even Atomix exists today, but I used to buy it religiously in the early 2000's. And I used to buy Club Nintendo, EVERY ISSUE, from 1991 to 1996 or so.
