Remember EGM's Sushi-X?

I'll drink to that! I think the criticisms should stay with the learning curve and difficulty (pretty hard later on, but not unmanageable - actually a great challenge).

Meh. I like my Castlevania's nice and difficult. As great as Symphony of the Night is, I actually enjoy playing it less than the NES Castlevania games because it is generally so very easy (The only bosses that actually make me break a sweat are Galamoth and Beelzebub).

I wish EGM still sold back issues or book compilations of their earlier issues. It is too expensive and time consuming to get a complete collection of their older issues, in order to take a walk down memory lane. Is there a better way than Ebay, to get a complete collection of 8 to 16-bit generation EGM issues?

I have plenty of old gaming mags that I plan to auction over Ebay this summer. I have plenty of old EGM and Gamepro mags, and almost three years worth of Nintendo Power magazines.

Has anyone read the EGM Chronicles? It's an interesting tale from a guy who once worked at EGM.

Check it out HERE.

Holy crap, that article about Bubsy 3D is hilarious.

They used to have "Sushi X" signs at WWF Raw shows back then. It was a phenomenon that crossed testosterone-fueled entertainment.

I could be wrong, but I think those WWF signs referred to a guy who went by the name of "Sushi-X" on wrestling-related message boards. Of course, it's obvious as to who inspired his moniker.

the character Sushi-X put the heart and soul into EGM's fighting based sections.

I remember the first time they had exclusive news about SF3. That was a damn good article!

He supported SNK and Capcom fighters all the time, always gave them the greatest scores a majority of the time.

You do realize that after a certain time (after 1996?) Sushi-X was just "faked" by having another reviewer pretend to be him.

Its in that article that Damaramu linked to.

Yes I do, so thank god I stopped reading EGM after 1996 (That's when my subscription ended lol)

I remember getting pissed at Sushi X because he ripped Desert Strike for Genesis "because it cashed in on the war in Iraq". Then the SNES version came out, and he had great things to say about it.

I think the scores were 6 (Gen) and 8 (SNES).

The years before that they said more about Sega (even giving Super Monaco all 9's!) and harping on the SNES slowdown.

After SF2 arrived that magazine became SNES biased. :/
