| Famicom Tsushin, or Famitsu, is the elder
statesman of video game publishing in Japan. It has been around for longer than any other
gaming periodical and yet it chugs on, maintaining momentum with it's stable readership.
Famitsu's foundation in the industry is that it gets the "important" advertising

recently hit the market such as the Color Gameboy and Neo Geo Pocket. A new handheld will
join them soon in the form of Bandai''s Wonder Swan. |

as Capcom, Konami and Namco will support the WS, which makes it a viable contender in a
market where the Gameboy has held a dominant position for the past decade. |

stock the Wonder Swan as soon as it hits the Japanese market. |
