| comment=3 pages. Reports the game as 20% complete. The previous month's interview with [[Keiji Okayasu]] is referenced, and the game's appearance at [['95 Tokyo Toy Show]] is covered. Several screenshots are included to showcase how the stage 1 backgrounds have been populated and character movements have been accurately ported from the arcade version, but a disclaimer is given that the models have not yet been textured. Some background elements visible in the Saturn version are stated to have been considered for but rejected from the arcade version. The accompanying comment from [[Sega AM2]] addresses the new and evoling [[wikipedia:Operating System|OS]].
 +
 
 +
On the second page, Lock-On Sight and enemy behavior after being shot are covered, including a series of screenshots comparing the arcade and Saturn version. The accompanying comment from [[Sega AM2]] projects that all movements will be identically ported.
 +
 
 +
On the third page, screenshots are used to highlight several moments in stage 1 as a comparison between the arcade version and Saturn version. Another mention is make of the '95 Tokyo Toy Show. The accompanying comment from [[Sega AM2]] addresses the game's mouse support.

| title=Special Report
 +
| comment=3 pages. Reports the game as 30% complete. The build used was shown at [['95 Tokyo Toy Show]]. It covers the inclusion of civilians, highlights a particular enemy reaction to being shot, and across all 3 pages, shows a series of screenshots for 3 famous scenes from stage 1.
 +
 
 +
On the second page, screenshots are shown comparing the current build to what was shown the previous month. A 2-page interview with [[Takashi Isono]] ([[AM2]] Saturn version ''Virtua Cop'' chief) covers the progress of game development and various details regarding the [[Virtua Gun]]. Many graphical details are covered, and Isono is asked when the game will release and if it will include original elements. The interview was recorded May 9 at AM2.
 +
On the third page, there is more coverage related to Tokyo Toy Show, being the prototype Virtua Guns made available there and the inclusion of elements not in previous builds. The next issue is teased to cover the ranking mode.

Several screenshots are included to showcase how the stage 1 backgrounds have been populated and character movements have been accurately ported from the arcade version, but a disclaimer is given that the models have not yet been textured. Some background elements visible in the Saturn version are stated to have been considered for but rejected from the arcade version. The accompanying comment from Sega AM2 addresses the new and evoling OS.

On the second page, Lock-On Sight and enemy behavior after being shot are covered, including a series of screenshots comparing the arcade and Saturn version. The accompanying comment from Sega AM2 projects that all movements will be identically ported.

On the third page, screenshots are used to highlight several moments in stage 1 as a comparison between the arcade version and Saturn version. Another mention is make of the '95 Tokyo Toy Show. The accompanying comment from Sega AM2 addresses the game's mouse support.

A 2-page interview with Takashi Isono (AM2 Saturn version Virtua Cop chief) covers the progress of game development and various details regarding the Virtua Gun. Many graphical details are covered, and Isono is asked when the game will release and if it will include original elements. The interview was recorded May 9 at AM2.
