MCV issue 69 (21 January 2000)

After the last issue of the '90s (uploaded last month), here's the, uh, second issue of the 2000s! (Sadly, I don't have a copy of the first. Bummer.)

  • The long-awaited launch of the 3DO into Europe begins next week with a £3m marketing push! This will go great, I have no doubt.
  • Is Bandai's WonderSwan edging closer to a European release? (No.)
  • A roundup of the big releases coming up in Q1 2000.
  • We have UK sales figures for the Game Boy for 1999: 900K devices, 2.2M games, 500K of them Pokémon. Not bad for the tenth year of availability of a thing built with 1970s components.
  • Top of the all formats chart this week: FIFA 2000, Tomorrow Never Dies and Tomb Raider 4: The Last Revelation. Hey, they switched places this time.
  • If you ever wondered what the UK advertising was like for Resident Evil 3, good news: there's an ad for the advertising campaign.
