This article is incomplete. Specifics: The content was expanded to summarise the magazine, but it would be nice to have more detail, even if it takes a lot of time. You can help by filling in the missing information. |
The PockeCam Magazine (Japanese: ポケカメマガジン) (referring to "Pocket Camera"), also known as Pokékame Magazine (though unrelated to the Pokémon series) is a discontinued Satellaview magazine focused on the Game Boy Camera.
Contents
There are multiple articles which can be accessed by clicking on various parts of the title artwork (simulating the Game Boy Camera menu):
- Choosing the bottom "Chase" (追っかけ) text leads to an article on Japanese idols with Game Boy Cameras called Idols with PockeCam (アイドルｗｉｔｈポケカメ). There are various photos created by Japanese idols who have creatively used the stamps.
- Choosing the left-most "Laughter" (笑い) text leads to an article called Yoshimoto VS PockeCam: 4-Cell Best of Five (Japanese: 吉本ＶＳポケカメ ４コマ 5本勝負), themed around the Yoshimoto Kogyo Holdings Japanese entertainment conglomerate, and competitors tasked with creating the best 4-Cell Game Boy Camera manga.
- Choosing the right-most "Secret" (密秘) text leads to an article called PockeCame A GO!! GO!! (Japanese: ポケカメ Ａ ＧＯ！！ ＧＯ！！) featuring people's reception about the Game Boy Camera. There are also interviews with Emily Nakayama (中山エミリ) who starred in a 1998 Game Boy Camera commercial, as well as Hirokazu Tanaka.
- There is also a bonus page within this one. During a question, the interviewer mentioned about the upcoming Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions, and Hirokazu Tanaka was asked about the future of the Game Boy Camera and potential compatible software for it and the Game Boy Printer. He replied no but there may be some in the future (ないけど… 今後あるかも?) and clicking on the "今後あるかも?" text in red leads to the bonus page "Pocket Printer Software Now Available!" (Japanese: ポケプリ対応ソフト登場!), which talks about how in March 20-22 at Tokyo Game Show 98 Spring held at Makuhari Messe, Culture Brain announced the Game Boy Printer compatible puzzle game Nintama Rantaro GB Challenge Puzzle (Japanese: 忍たま乱太郎GBチャレンジパズル), released as Nintama Rantaro GB Eawase Challenge Puzzle (Japanese: 忍たま乱太郎GB えあわせチャレンジパズル). It was released on June 19, 1998 and is part of the Nintama Rantarō franchise.
- There are various other bonus pages as well, accessible by following "A bit of a good story" (チョットいい話) links found throughout the pge, on a brick like graphic.
- Clicking inside the lens of the top camera leads to the short article "Looking for the best usage methods (of the camera)!" (究極の活用法大募集!). Readers could send off to postal code 〒1111-8585 St.GIGA in association with "Game Tora no Taikoban Gather Together! Game Tiger Public Relations Staff" (『ゲーム虎の太鼓判集まれ! ゲー虎広報部員!』).
- Apparently nothing happens if the reader clicks inside the lens of the left camera.
- Clicking inside the lens of the right camera leads to another short article "Wappers Are Lazy in Their Investigation!?" (捜査戦怠ワッパーズ!?), alluding to and advertising the Sousa Sentai Wappers. Sousa Sentai Wappers is another Satellaview magazine series featuring the tokusatsu-inspired Detective Wappers.
