To celebrate its 200th issue, the venerable Edge magazine is sending out 200 different covers to newsstands next week. That’s impressive in and of itself, and probably somewhat pricey, but the real reason I post today is all of the Nintendo characters and games that are represented here. Actraiser. Link. The Final Fantasy 3 (U.S.) characters. And of course, all the rest like Wolfenstein (PC) and WiiWare newcomer LostWinds. Pick your favorite from the image, won’t you? Can yo identify all 200?
Kotaku post with pic of all 200 covers
Well, I could probably name about 25-30 of them, and I recognize another 20 or so, but there are a lot of those covers that I just have no idea what they are. Perhaps if they were bigger, and easier to see I might recognize a few more, but I'm definitely not a game guru after seeing all of those unrecognizable scenes.
Thanks for the information, now is going to be like pokemon need to catch em all?
Very cool idea, the Viewtiful Joe one is money. Edge (Next Gen) is my favorite vid mag, for only their cynicism matches my own.
i can't get the popup browser from the link to work in safari….
or firefox- it's too big for the screen and wont scroll down…
Why would it be expensive?
@ Fairlady Z:
The cost needed to individually print 200 unique copies of the same magazine issue and the money needed to find and/or make the covers would be unbelievably high.
@ deepthought:
Don't waste your time; the image as a whole is small, even for Windows OS using Internet Explorer.
I used firefox and was able to see them all though they were tiny. I might be able to name 40 of the covers. Favorite is the Ocarina of Time collage at the end.
