OK, here's my last post just as the board imploded last night:

I'm currently brow-beating Apple Systems for a review copy of Sengoku...promised them serious pages, but no response so far. I get the feeling this is going to be a lot like it was at GF: I'll have to spend $600 to cover their games for them =P

Suffice it to say, all new NEO games WILL get covered, even though it'll be out of my own bloody pocket =P Just may have to wait for issue 2, since copies (for sale) may not be available in time.

Which is funny, considering a local arcade now has three copies of Metal Slug 3 running thanks to our glowing coverage in GF...some people just don't get it.

And yes, there's still plenty of time to get your subs in...but there's no time like the present

Just wants to borrow it for a week,

ECM? From GameFan?

Feels like I'm talking to a celebrity... heh...

I haven't been to the local bookstores or video game stores for a LONG time, so I don't know what's been up lately with you and everybody else. But looking at the site, GameGO! sounds very promising.

Neo-Geo game coverage, eh? Nice. Very nice. I'd love to see more of that... I feel like I'm missing out on a few of the newer ones these days. And from your own pocket...? That's very generous of you. Thank you.

Speaking of Metal Slug 3, funny story... we've got MS3 in my college arcade. But something's wrong with it. Unlimited lives for one quarter. It's become so that passing the game is no big event. Heck, even I passed it... =P

Look forward to GameGO!

ECM,
When you get time, I'd like to haggle some extra information on why you think it's so hard to beat Slug 3 in one credit.

Wait until you see me go into 'Serious' Mode

FUUMA · Apr 16, 2001

Sounds great as Gamefan was really the most hardcore mag there was. I really miss Gamefan as EGM is like a whole big advertisement nowadays. I thought you guys at Gamefan moved to Gamers Republic or something like that.

Fran · Apr 16, 2001

good 'un ECM,
gamefan was the only mag i've ever bought...
and read

cos i felt it was made by people who were like me,mad for it

i STILL would like to know something about my hero,Nick Rox....

hes THE MAN !

BioMotor_Unitron · Apr 16, 2001

I thought Gamer's Republic was created by some former employees of GameFan. I still read that one. I consider it to be better than EGM, but that is not saying much.

Count on a subscription from me, ECM!

Yup. Gamefan is a very cool magazine and I loved your care and cool attitude towards shooters, ECM. But, Anyway, Good luck with GameGo and I hope it'll be a great success! I know i'll get the 1st issue!!

JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW YOU HAVE MY SUPPORT, YOU AND NEO NEWS ARE THE LAST REVELATION OF HARDCORE GAMING MAGAZINES. AND I STILL LOOK AT MY GAMEFAN ISSUES DAILY, YOU GOT MY FULL SUPPORT!

Ukyo · Apr 16, 2001

Hey, I already got my confirmation of subcription for GameGo! Looks like you guys are on top of things

ECM, are you going to put "The Last True Enthusiest Magazine" under the title again? Since, this mag is going to be a little more concentrated on niche and import gaming, can you get away with less main stream games on the cover? I mean...Cannon Spike was sick, but you know you wanted to see Marco and Tarma Gunz a' Blaze'N on top of a Slug!!! LOL. Thanks.

------------------

Don't plague the gaming market

ECM · Apr 16, 2001

Ukyo,

Actually, we haven't decided on a tagline yet.

As far as Cannon Spike goes that wasn't very mainstream--pretty damn far from it

Hmmm, Sengoku on the cover...

The only enthusiast magazine,
ECM

Yoshi · Apr 16, 2001

I just pressed submit on my order. I was a long-time subscriber to GameFan, so I am pumped to see its quazi-return.

Coming Soon: SNKvsCap.com

Video game consoles are like football leagues. If it starts with "X", it's going to flop.

Hide · Apr 16, 2001

ECM,
Was the 1st issue of GameGo out already? If yes, I can't seem to find it.

ECM · Apr 16, 2001

Nope. Mid-May...but we're taking subs now (or you could order a single issue). Or you could wait till late may/early june to get it on stands

I recommend subbing

Plugging away,
ECM

cox_xoc · Apr 16, 2001

GameGo has looked awesome ever since you first said something about it around a month ago ECM. I subscribed this past weekend. I am very much looking forward to reading the first issue.

Ane a quick message to everyone: The best way to get this magazine off the ground is to subscribe. If they can get enough people to subscribe they would be able to make the mag monthly... *drool* hehhehe...

MVS is eternal...but I love my Pocket.

1otaku · Apr 16, 2001

SWEET ! I hope the mag turns out to be really cool. I've got a lot of faith in it, as I was always a HUGE fan of Gamefan.It sucked when the last issue of Gamefan came out with no warning. It also sucked because it was one of the few times I ever got peeved at one of your reviews(Shenmue), but hey, the fact that you're closer in gameing tastes to me than ANY other game reviewer ever was certainly reason enough to subscribe. I've also been playing Neo with a 6-slot MVS hooked up to Shou-Sama's old Super Nova system. I'm REALLY looking forward to careing about a game mag again.
You rule ECM ! Please keep it up. It certainly didn't hurt that I first found out about it in this board either.
Later.

TonK · Apr 16, 2001

To ECM, I always hated Eggo.....You were always cool, keeping it real with 2D games, thanks man!

Iori E · Apr 16, 2001

One question: Besides you, the 6th Man, and Posty, who else can we expect to come back? Or have some of them simply taken different pen names?

Hopefully, the pages will be full of game art. During my pre-internet days, GameFan was my only good source of fine game art. Even after I got back online, actually. That was my favorite part of the magazine.

That, and the personality everyone showed in the articles, but it sounds like you took care of that already.

Sounds good. Can't wait to read the first issue.

Hey ECM is EB going to carry your Mag? if so, it's funny cause my son works for one and didn't hear anything about it. also i just talked to a manager (EB) on the weekend and he didn't even hear of the mag! as a matter of fact he was very surprised. hupplark_39

Rade K · Apr 16, 2001

Who is advertizing in this thing? Capcom?

ECM · Apr 17, 2001

Yes, there will be game art.

Yes, it'll be at EB.

As for advertisers, we're not privy to say who's who but there will be ads

Any more questions

Yes. Can I have that Metal Slug artwork that someone sent in and you printed in GameFan?

The one you said you had hanging on your office wall?

BioMotor_Unitron · Apr 17, 2001

Can you give me the address of wherever it is currently located? No particular reason, none at all, just simple curiousity....

-BioMotor_Unitron

samuraiX · Apr 17, 2001

ECM:
Can we subscribe multiple times? I just want to make sure because a few of my friends want the mag but seem to be unwilling to go on the internet and buy it. Als ois the first issue going to be a wide release on newstands? and on an off note, what action figures are you looking for that were swiped? I/we may be able to help you out a little.
