VHS | Super Famicom Perfect Video '92~'93 | スーパーファミコン パーフェクト ビデオ '92~'93 | Game Tech Video (GTV)
25A VHS tape produced by GTV (Game Tech Video) that was available for sale or rent in Japan, covering all the great releases of the Super Famicom releases in 1992. It consists of 43 game reviews, some extended coverage of Street Fighter II and Super Mario Kart, a look at Mother 2 (Earthbound) and an interview with creator Shigesato Itoi, and rather long quiz game segment...these participants (made up of staff and people from the games journalism industry, I believe) really know their stuff.
The main hosts are the GTV usuals, the lucha wrestling mask sporting Mr. X (Hiroaki Takeuchi), Indoman (Takahiro Tadano), Mika Suzuki and Kouji Watanabe. The Susumu Matsushita created Battery character is also a host and narrator of this video like in may other GTV productions. This program was also published on laser disc.
In addition to the games mentioned above, other titles featured include:
Final Fantasy V (ファイナルファンタジーV)
Dragon Quest V (ドラゴンクエストV)
Wizardry V (ウィザードリィV)
Tiny Toon Adventures Buster Busts Loose (タイニートゥーンアドベンチャーズ)
Psycho Dream (サイコドリーム)
Metal Max 2 (メタルマックス2)
Super Star Wars (スーパー・スター・ウォーズ)
...and so much more.
