New FUSION Dreamcast magazine?

I don't know anything about this as I only just bought a Sega Mega Drive magazine from these guys a few days ago, which has yet to arrive, but they sent me an email about this and I thought people here might be interested.

It looks like their may be more information on the publisher's facebook page but I try not to go to facebook. So I don't know what it says. Please post in this thread if you check!

The email said there were only 100 copies of this magazine available. I went ahead and snagged one last night when there were ~50 left and this morning there are ~20 left. It doesn't say anything about this being a limited release so I imagine they could potentially do a reprint if they feel the demand is there.

I have received a shipping notification for my first purchase (the Genesis/Mega Drive magazine). So I have some confidence that I'll get something. If I remember I will post more details here when I have it in hand.

This is only my second post here! Apologies if I broke any rules or anything!

They must have done a reprint or something. I bought my copy a couple years ago.

Is it any good or did I waste my money? lol

The information is entry level. Most reviews are a full-page graphic, and a short essay. The highlights in my opinion are the interview around Xenocider, and the arcade overview. They touch on Sega's use of Dreamcast hardware in Naomi, Triforce, and Atomiswave arcade platforms.

It's a bit light, but $2 is cheaper than a soda right now. I would choose this magazine issue over a soda pop.

I got my copy. I agree with your overview. I like flipping through

I was a little surprised by how small it is - It's 6"x8" or 15x21cm
I don't know why but I expected the big glossy format like the original US Dreamcast Magazine or NewType (obviously the price tag doesn't match that at all lol).

The same company has a Sega magazine - Sega Force Mega - that covers the whole company, which appears to be ongoing. I got the first issue of that as well. Same format but a slightly higher page count - 60 instead of 52 pages. It has a short Dreamcast section. I might pick up the other back issues since I'm happy with these so far.
