The VHS uploads will continue until morale improves.

Yes, I'm afraid there's nothing to be done for it. I've uploaded another rip of Famimaga Video, which continues to be a wonderful window into the Japanese games market during a very specific (and vibrant) period of history. This particular tape devoted a huge amount of time to fleshing out the Super Mario Bros. 3 and Final Fantasy II teasers from the previous episode, and I gotta say that this glimpse into SMB3 is a hell of a lot more compelling than The Wizard. Not back for ¥1780.

Man. Japan had all the coolest stuff.

Famimaga Video 1988-11 [Issue 2] VHS Rip

A video rip of the second issue of Family Magazine's video companion series, which ran for a couple of years during the peak Bubble Economy days. This issue devotes about a third of its runtime to Super Mario Bros. 3 and Final Fantasy II, which clearly were the big Famicom releases for Autumn 1988. Baseball once again has a significant presence as well, albeit without a massive special feature devoted to the topic. Mega Drive is nowhere to be seen despite being the new hotness for this period... curiously, Sega games do show up for both Famicom and PC Engine. Recorded from a JVC Super VHS video deck and upscaled to 720p via Retrotink 5X. Note that this upload includes a couple of brief skips/gaps due to the age and condition of the video tape, which lost sync in two spots—nothing essential, though. You may freely use portions of this video for your own work as needed! All I ask for my efforts in getting this material online is a small source credit in your video or footnotes. 0:45 Contents 1:21 Mario 3 8:03 FFII 12:27 Genpei Toumaden 15:22 Pro Yakyuu?

That tiny little historical glimpse into the FF2 team’s development environment is worth the price of admission alone.

Right? I told Frank Cifaldi about it and he said, "That's going to show up in every single Final Fantasy retrospective once you release it."

I wonder if the Twin Famicoms had a practical purpose for development on FF2 (ie. able to use rewritable disks to test builds on hardware more practical than burning ROMs?) or if they were just there as remnants of their other FDS games?
