Cool - Fuzzheads

“Cool” by Fuzzheads

Here’s sneak peek for one of the chiptune contributions from the Ultranimboy handheld/chiptune zine we linked yesterday, a track that also happens to come from one of my favorite chiptune bands, Fuzzheads.

It’s a nostalgia-filled collab with Meekstape (see Game Boy cart design), who has contributed to a bunch of zines AND ALSO has her art featured as a graffiti soul in Jet Set Radio: HD.

Ultranimboy handheld/chiptune zine

This promising item features “original pieces from an eclectic collection of chiptune musicians, artists, and writers” reflecting on their handheld childhoods. The chip fellows have created tracks for the zine that will be released online leading up to the publication’s release.

The contributors include Tiny Cartridge favorites like Mare Odomo, Omocat, Elliot Trinidad, and others. So yeah, if you read and enjoy our site, this is probably something you’d want to pick up — preorders are available for $5.

Caldera

Andrew Reyes put together a zine made up of 3D photos taken with a Nintendo 3DS:

“These photos are 3D containers for time and space. My travels and my friends are what fills these containers.”

Each hand-sewn $7 copy comes with a pair of 3D glasses. I love this!

Grab SCROLL issue 7 and a pizza»

Issue 7 of Ray Barnholt’s single-theme retro game magazine SCROLL is all about a topic I didn’t realize would be so interesting: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game series. Barnholt analyzes each of Konami’s NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, and even PC games not only in terms of gameplay, but also faithfulness to the TV shows, comics, and movies from which they drew. There’s even a timeline of TMNT milestones, and a list of TMNT characters ranked by number of game appearances.

The issue is available in PDF for 5 bucks, or in print for $14. Check out the preview pages, and then go buy it. I think SCROLL might be my favorite game magazine ever. Whenever I read it, I’m simultaneously delighted with the quality of all the writing and layout work, fascinated by the topics, and furious that I didn’t do this.

Previews of awesome Sonic comics from Speed Hog, an upcoming zine put together by Tiny Kitten Teeth and set to be sold at SPX next week (click for larger images).

The artists behind the strips you see here include:

I hope this renaissance of game series-specific zines (e.g. Zelda Zine, Ghost Pokezine) never ends. I love this.

Ghost PokéZine’s wicked cover. You can admire a much bigger, near final version of the cover here.

This one-shot zine collects 28 illustrations of 28 Ghost Type Pokémon from 28 talented artists — you may remember Mare Odomo’s adorable Gengar contribution.

It was all funded by a number of kind souls through Kickstarter (still sad that I didn’t get to throw cash at this campaign because I’m forever broke), and the man behind the project Jordan Rosenberg sent out the issues last week.

Cover for Zelda Zine #2, designed by editor Cory Schmitz. This issue is already 100% complete, featuring submitted artwork from Madeline Flores and Roman Muradov.

Schmitz and GameCity intend to eventually sell this and the other two Zelda Zine volumes online (they gave away 200 copies of Volume 1: Wisdom’s original print run in Nottingham last month). They also plan to compile all three issues into a Master Zine some day.

Fund Fort90Zine 4 on Kickstarter»

If you want to support the cause of original, personal video game print zines, and more importantly, venues for Eric Caoili writing, you can now contribute to a Kickstarter fund for the fourth issue of Fort90Zine, called FORT90ZINE4ANSWER. Matt Hawkins is seeking $500 to print the new issue by May, with the remainder going to the contributors.

The issue is set to include articles about The You Testament, “video game fashion do’s and don’ts,” memories of Matt’s time working at an arcade, a cover by Farel Dalrymple and Cory Schmitz, and more. Matt asked me to write something (!) but I finally had to throw in the towel when it became clear that I was really, really busy… and didn’t have any good ideas.

As of the time I’m writing this post, Matt’s reached $420 of his $500 goal, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t join in! I’m pretty sure the contributors would enjoy receiving payment for their work. And, of course, like all Kickstarter funds, there are tiered bonuses for donating, including copies of the book, buttons, framed prints, and other items.
