The Japanese edition of Sega Magazine (セガマガジン) was a Sega-branded magazine published by SoftBank which covered several of the company's business interests during the 1996-97 period, including (but not limited to) the Sega Saturn, Model 2 and Model 3 arcade games, and amusement centres such as Joypolis. It was officially licensed by Sega.
Succeeding Sega Jack (and acknowledging its existence in a regular feature), the magazine expanded on its coverage with a larger page count and attendant ¥300 price instead of being free handout, though is thought to have still been distributed in Amusement Theme Park locations.
It is suspected that only nine issues were produced, with the relaunched Sega Maga picking up from where it left off (and initially using the same name).
