Welcome to "Your Weekly Famicom," a page I hope to update, if not weekly, then biweekly (like the old Famicom Tsushin magazine...) I'll scour the pages of Japanese video game magazines from the Famicom era (late 1980s/early 1990s), and present pictures and articles of interest to us all.

This page is a continuation of my "secret page" which had pictures taken from my various magazines. However this page should be a bit more high-tech than the old one, with proper scans, translated text, and PDFs of pages with plenty of juicy text and pictures, if I can manage that. So while this page builds up, check out the links below...
