Goodbye. Dorinaga. Posted by Henry Moriarty - Tue. 03/28/2006 22:04
Dorimaga is changing its name to Gamaga (ゲーマガ) starting its May 30 issue. Up until now, the magazine was basically like a watered down Dengeki G'z and it covered a lot of gal games. With the renewal, the magazine will start covering everything from handhelds (DS, PSP) to arcade games. It'll still feature a DVD, which this time will be Hybrid and include contents for PC as well as trailers.
The magazine's price is going to be jacked up from 580 yen to 880 yen. That's almost the price of a month's subscription of shonen Jump. Except Jump is 450 pages x 4 issues, whileas Gamaga is 160 pages.
It seems as though the magazine will still continue to be gal-game based. The explanation on its press statement reads, "Gamaga will continue to be a Deep game magazine that is centered on core game information".
