What are the best Famitsu covers?

[Twingsy]

A couple months back, there was a thread on Edge covers, but I got curious, what are the best covers for Famitsu? With their decades of history, there have to be some bangers?
Recently, Xenoblade 3 and Shin Megami Tensei 5 come to mind.

Anyone know or remember anything?

I dont have anything to add other than holy hell you picked a banger from the start

damn i haven't seen a famitsu cover in... like 20 years

the only ones i remember were kinda tacky with that mascot at the forefront

those in the OP look dope

 

[Tavernade]

My first thought upon seeing those was "is that Bubsy?!" and I assume… it's not? Right?

I dig the covers shown though.

They've had some more stylish ones. I posted some more of the nicer ones, it's how they're usually styled recently.

That Nahobino cover is pretty damn good.

I think I bought one in 97 with a parasite eve cover which was pretty rad.

I really like the front + back cover for Persona 4 Arena Ultiamx.

 

[Lizard Wizard]

Has anyone ever translated an issue into English? Would love to compare Famitsu with the magazines I read back in the day.

I didn't realise Bonkers D. Bobcat moved to Japan and did ad work after his show got cancelled.

(also I dig how crazy these are)

Wow, it's been so long since I've seen an actual issue of Famitsu that I just assumed everything was still done by or in the style of Susumu Matsushita. Pretty cool to see the more recent covers. Love that Xenoblade 3 one in the OP. <3
