So you may have noticed some pics from old issues of Gameinformer get added to the media page a couple days ago. Those were done as a test run for a project I started back in 2019 and have been wanting to start revisitng since I didn’t make much progress last year. Basically I have been trying to collect magazines or store ads that either cover or involve Xeno games and take pictures/scan them. Anything from Reviews, previews, ads, fanart. All of that good stuff. I already have a decent little selection of magazines in English, Japanese and even a French one that has Xeno- related coverage but I know there’s much more out there. I don’t often see magazines outside of things like Nintendo Power get archived that much online so I figured it would be an interesting project to work on and a nice way of seeing how reviewers/communities felt about these games around the time of their release. Even better if it’s a foreign magazine or one that doesn’t necessarily specialize in video game coverage. I’m making this thread to get some feedback on the idea and suggestions on how I can present them to other users on this forum. I am also more than open to people assisting if they are interested and have magazines to contribute. We can also use this thread to track what we have, post updates, and offer links to them.

There’s a game informer from 2015 that has a 2 page spread ad for Xenoblade Chronicles 3D that I’ve kept. Unfortunately the page with the review on it isn’t preserved, and my copy is in storage anyways, but I do have it
I do not have Gameinformer 104! I can absolutely add that, thanks so much 
I am actually trying to track down the later more recent gameinformers with Xenoblade in it so if you happen to remember issue number that would be helpful. I would also love to see if there are any Gamecenters (Walmart’s magazine) with Xenoblade coverage in it. But that seems to be hard to find info online.
I’ll try and do some research, but I am currently in a different state than where the magazine currently is lol. I don’t know if I kept the one with XCX and XC2 reviews, so sorry about that. But when I get home in like 4 months, I will take a look for you. Don’t let me forget haha
Good initiative ! (y)
So, here is an overview of my potential contributions.
On my computer :
I have some scans of Xenosaga ads (in English) that I found on the Internet on various websites.
On my bookshelf :
I have some French magazines with ads about the Xenoblade games, and some French books talking about the Xeno series.
If you are interested, I can post some stuff here, or I can send you the pictures via DM if you prefer
