Title: Hyper Play a new printed RPG Fanzine!
Post by: Otaking on June 10, 2015, 07:26:03 AM
I absolutely adore printed fanzines and it looks like someone is finally making a new one.
I really hope this project becomes a reality  :pray:

They should have titled it "Super Nintendo PSX". :P

If it's free when it becomes a reality, I'll take a look to see if it covers more than just the games which already have infinite amounts of maps, guides, etc available for them.

A retro JRPG mag with no non-Nintendo/Sony games on the cover, yet Super Mario Kart and Tiger Woods get coverage. :-k

It's proposed to be a RPG fanzine with a heavy Nintendo bias, that's it's particular niche.
The fanzine appears to be heavily influenced by my absolute all time favorite magazine the legendary Super Play!! Which was a nineties UK SNES mag that covered tons of import games, RPGs, anime and Japanese culture.

I'm near positive the printed fanzine won't be free, but who knows he might give away free PDF version. For me personally I hope he keeps it to printed only, if it's available digitally there's nothing differentiate it from a blog or a reviews website. For me the best part of this is the fun of receiving an actual printed fanzine again.

That's cool, but then they should drop the "100% all retro RPG" part.
