On eBay: the first game mag, Sega Genesis guitar
GameSetWatch has discovered a couple of interesting video game related items on eBay including a magazine from 1970 with the cover-text "Game Computer" (the first magazine to put "computer" and "game" onto the front cover?) and an electric guitar made out of a Sega Genesis. There's not much else to say about the magazine: it either is or isn't the first magazine to mention computer games. Unfortunately we have no idea how to verify this. The Sega Genesis guitar is a little more straightforward. The modder has merely replaced the body of the guitar with a Sega Genesis and called it good. And yes, the guitar does work, although the same can't be said for the Genesis. Now all we need to see is a guitarist using the guitar to play some Michael Jackson riffs as a tribute to Sonic 3!
Official Nintendo Magazine scans cause mild stroke
The Nintendo-specific Sonic the Hedgehog game has been rumored for awhile, picking up a bit more steam thanks to the union of the two companies to offer games through the Revolution's Virtual Console service. According to gex's nintendo news, an upcoming issue of the Official Nintendo Magazine will divulge some info on Sega's upcoming Revolution games. The article also promises a look at Activision's hushed-about project and Ubisoft's groundbreaking Revolution title. Another page seems to hint at a finalized date for the release of the Revolution of around the 27th of October. This would fall in line with Iwata's comments about launching before Thanksgiving.
