DC Magazine is
dead. Kaput. Long live Dorimaga. Tokuma Shoten gave up
the ghost a couple of weeks ago with DC Magazine Vol. 13
as the final issue. Publisher Softbank took over the
reins, renamed the magazine, and kept most of the
original format intact.
The
premiere issue takes things in stride with no major
announcements or groundbreaking ceremonies inside. We do
get a recap of the history of Beep! Magazine, Mega-Drive
Magazine, Sega Saturn Magazine, and Dreamcast Magazine,
along with birth and death dates of all respective
publications. Flipping the pages further - Shenmue 2
snares coverage, Virtua Fighter 4 looks hot, PSO v2.0
goes live next week, and we get a gander at Sonic
Adventure 2. Continued coverage of Sakura Taisen 3 hops
over from DCM and the fan artwork submissions on Sakura
seem inspired. A quirky look at developer Hitmaker's
studios reveals damnably messy desks, staff sleeping on
the floor, and empty vending machines. Tres chic? In
addition to the new periodical, pricing is now hiked to
US$13.50 per issue due to a change in newsprint
suppliers. Sorry. |
